Williams v Botha, Cooper v Dunnett 10:38pm: This was for some strange WBA title btw, which Williams now has the dubious honour of owning. Thanks for joining the coverage tonight and check out all of the Fairfax mastheads, online and print, for the news tomorrow. We'll try and locate those missing rounds for you. 10:36pm: Williams announced as the winner and the crowd boos. Botha playing it all up and the crowd loves him. Williams tells the crowd he'll keep plugging away in boxing but that's not quite as assured as he was earlier this week. He found himself in a fight there. What's Botha got to say.... he reckons he won. He didn't, obviously. "I think this is bullshit," he tells the crowd. They love it. 10:32pm: Well, well, well that almost went pear-shaped for Williams in that final round. Botha just unloaded and caught him numerous times. He was in very big trouble indeed. Welcome to boxing Sonny. And some confusion now about the rounds. It was scheduled for 12 rounds, not 10. And lucky for Williams, who was in serious strife if that had gone any further. Here's the decision.... it's a unanimous win for SBW. 10:29pm: Final round now - this should be a big of a giggle as the big fella get going. SBW just needs to keep clear and he's home. But he should really test himself and get stuck in to Botha. Williams will box this out I think as Botha tries to clinch and cut off the space. Not sure I'm a fan of the way SBW keeps that left low - looks cool but think he's robbing himself of a bit of power in the jab. The ref struggling to get them apart here and SBW is HURT! He's in strife! He needs to get off the ropes here as Botha sees a chance! Now SBW ducked a point for holding. Not a bad spell there but this is a near thing and a late scare. Williams in BIG trouble! And he's saved by the bell! He'll win it but boy he was in a fight that last round. 10:25pm: That's better. Williams looked good there delivering that little short right. He's so wary to get in range of Botha that he looks to be robbing himself of a decent punch there. One of his best of the night. Botha accidentally clobbers the ref there and now finds a second wind. The ref not happy and he gets caught again! He's the ref more times than he's hit Williams and now gets deducted a point. The fight has gone up a notch here and SBW is finding out what it's like to be in the ring with a veteran who knows a few tricks. SBW gives him a love tap to end the round (which he won) and it's come to life. 10:21pm: The lads come out to start eight. SBW has a fair jab, I'll say that. But he is a little hesitant to really hammer away and Botha doing not a bad job of cutting off the ring for an old fella. But he can't pin Williams down. Williams has used the right sparingly today. Plus, he seems to have coaches in every part of the ring apron. Too many cooks at the moment perhaps. Like to see a few more punches in the SBW arsenal but they will come as he progresses through the sport. He's been neat and tidy without spectacular. He'll win if he stays on his feet. A late blow from Botha to end round eight. 10:17pm: Botha hanging on the ropes and taunting Williams to try and get him to unleash. Sonny not having much of that and is happy to work the jab. I think he is getting a little frustrated here with an awkward opponent he can't put on the canvas. A good lesson for him if he's serious about the game. He's well on top through seven rounds. 10:16pm: Round six here. Botha's face looks like it has been run over by Bakkies Botha. SBW effective with the jab, but needs to add some venom to his punches. He really is not sure how to fight in the clinch yet. Prefers to jab from distance. Botha checks him late, but Sonny Bill on top. 10:10pm: SBW puts the hands away for now when he should be forcing the pace. Still looks very green and short of angles. He should have enough tonight if he can find some gaps. It's his round again. 10:07pm: Botha's jab is for decoration only. Lovely combo of punches by Sonny Bill and he is looking sharp. Botha's supposed power must still be in the 90s. The South African is there for the taking if SBW is game enough to let the hands go. He is in command after five rounds. 10:05pm: Sonny Bill Williams is getting confident. Love that left hook. Botha not in this bout, just hoping for a bomb to land an KO SBW. Botha's left eye is closing too. He has said more words than thrown punches, so far. It's all Sonny Bill after three rounds. 9:58pm: Blood alert! Botha has some claret on the nose. The South African is giving some lip, too, trying to get SBW off his game. Stiff jabs from Sonny Bill. He's on top through round two. 9:53pm: Sonny Bill Williams looks wary. Neither man throwing much of the way of punches so far. Nice body work from Botha there, but SBW is a mile quicker. End of round one. 9:50pm: Sonny Bill Williams is being called the pride of New Zealand, of not of Bankstown. Ding, ding! 9:47pm: Botha on the way to the ring to the tune of Buffalo Soldier. He looks OK for a man of 44 but Williams is made of granite. Unsure if his chin is made of the same substance. 9:45pm: Great start - Sonny Bill just got introduced as Sonny Boy. That should fire him up. 9:43pm: Telstra implodes again folks so this will be a bit tough but the main event is nearly here. Announcer in the ring, fighters about to make their way to the ring, too. 9:30pm: And so we edge closer to the main event of the night, with Sonny Bill Williams taking on Frans Botha. Botha looks alright for a 44-year-old and he's had a wealth of experience and gun opponents (think Holyfield, Tyson etc). And also think when they were good. Then think he lost to all of them and also lost his past three fights. He's got a KO in him if SBW is foolish but I can see this ending in a Williams win. Not far away now. 9:26pm: Folks some technical issues here but I think we are back for the moment, hence the short posts. I'll write while Telstra still lets me. Good debut there for Quade Cooper and he fairly well knocked Barry Dunnett cold there. Sent him to the canvas with just one second left in round one. Dunnett came out firing early and Cooper had the gloves down and took a few. Then the jab started going, he rocked his opponent and gave him wobbly legs. Then a big right cross finished the night. SBW and Botha up next. 9:24pm: So far on the card we've seen any easy win from Bilal Akkawy, a very promising young Sydney super middleweight whose old man trains SBW.
