its amazing on how boxing fans use the botha excuse lol. face it a k1 fighter owns a kickboxer!!

Most good Pro boxers have MUCH better chins and a lot more punching power than anybody in K-1 or MMA, if a good boxer took the time to learn to defend kicks and knees they would great.

For standup it would be the best kickboxers like Ernesto Hoost, Peter Aerts, Semmy Schilt, Cro Cop, Jerome Lebanner ---- guys like that

Can't resist......

When Botha was in his prime and could fight, he never once defeated a top 10 Boxer.

When he was all washed up and couldn't fight he went to K-1, and beat two of the 10 best ever.


That's all there is to it.

he lost to cans who couldnt fight but beat injured fighters like Aerts and JLB and they were out of their primes as well.

it not easy its like saying a k1 fighter needs to adapt the boxing stance and make combos and technique its just not that easy. it takes some time and getting used to the k1 fighters style of fight.

oh and if they cant dish out everything a k1 fighter can then they will lose 9 out of ten times period no argument. maybe a lucky punch within the clinch but its not likely when your being dragged within a k1 fighters clinch!!!if this k1 allowed elbows even worse or in a street fight elbos would kill.
