Too much power and speed. Very athletic and young underrated killer. Dude has a sniper right hand as well and quick ass combos.
Let the highlights speak for themselves, manny will come in underestimating him and horn will KO him stiff the first couple of rounds. I even see him beating thurman or spence next, dudes a beast.
WAR HORNET!!!!!:boxing:
Lmao
So, you're saying B-Suth beats both of these guys on the same night?

My questions are:
How much is Pacquiao's age going to show? Even though he beat Vargas -- his age, to me, was showing more than it ever had. That was a nip and tuck fight up to the midway point. I thought it was basically dead even through six. Now class did tell over time in that fight as Manny started to separate himself, but it wasn't like he was blowing Vargas out at any point. He had to work for every second of that fight. Some act like he cruised in that fight but I felt like the struggle was real for the vast majority of that bout.
Also, how motivated can he possibly be for this? He's a full-time politician now for f**k's sake and he didn't even know who Horn f**king was. Just like the rest of us. Everybody on earth has sh*t on this fight, and their camp HAS TO know that. How does a guy who is approaching 70 pro fights and has fought on the biggest stages this sport has seen in recent memory get up for Jeff freaking Horn? In a bout that the overwhelming vast majority of the boxing and sporting public could give two sh*ts about?
And for Horn -- this is by leaps and bounds the biggest fight of his life. Obviously. And he gets to fight it in front of his home country. That's a factor. If this sh*t was in Vegas or something, I'd give Horn zero shot, but you can't discount the home advantage factor. There's going to be 55K there and you just know that boy is going to be full of f**king adrenaline and dreaming BIG.
I'm well aware that I'm probably sounding like a full on Pac-tard trying my best to legitimize this sh*tty f**king fight, but I'm being serious, as a genuine Pacquiao fan these are the factors that I'm concerned with.
Stranger things have happened...particularly to fighters who are well past their primes.
Okay but all that said, if Manny is focused and motivated, and not recklessly looking for the knockout just because everyone is clamoring how he has to KO Horn or else he looks bad -- then yes, quite clearly even a near the end of the road Manny should dispatch this dude.
If I'm Freddie I am NOT in Manny's ear constantly about a KO. Just box him because Manny is levels above. Box him smart and when the opportunity presents itself for a possible KO, then yeah. But don't go looking for it. Going and looking for the KO is never a good strategy. It's like home runs in baseball. You don't force home runs. You don't will the ball over the fence. You just go out there and put good swings on it and they'll come.
Boxing Logic, is this you?
Holy sh*t can you do a tl;dr?
hes useless. australians cant fight. if an aussie is reading this and offended, im sorry but go **** yourself.
Katsidis?????
Dude ruined Mitchell gladiator style
Had a great fight with Marquez too
hes useless. australians cant fight. if an aussie is reading this and offended, im sorry but go **** yourself.
They cant box because they don't have the numbers or the amateur program behind development, and the trainers are in a time warp.
Think of country the landmass of the United States and the population of New York.
The Aussies are as tough as nails just don't have the numbers in boxing to get the real world class standouts. I think its something like 200 licensed boxers total for the entire country.
To the topic Manny will totally outclass Jeff Horn.

You made many valid points. My biggest concern for Pacquiao Is his motivation and stamina. Horn doesn't have many advantages over Pacquiao other than age, but Pacquiao at 38 has slowed tremendously and Horn looks like he has a decent punch.
I think stamina Is the key. If he Is able to go the full 12 rounds he will most likely win a decision. If not, Horn may have that 1 In a million chance of catching Pacquiao with the right shot.

Well out of those highlights, that ali funeka guy seemed to have a wicked chin and Horn managed to crack it. I guess its gonna be down to the difference in levels and we'll see just what level Horn is at.
Horn is a really solid national level fighter. He is even the kind to pick up regional straps. But on the international stage, mixing it with legit world class fighters?
Manny KO3.
Good luck Horn, you are gonna need it.
I read two types of threads and posts about this fight. Many posters say Pacquiao should be ashamed for fighting a guy as bad as Horn. Others like you say Horn will KO Pacquiao. I think Horn is an OK fight. Boxrec ranks him 12th at 147 and the WBO ranks him the 2nd contender for Pacquiao's title. According to boxrec Horn has never defeated a boxer ranked even in their top 50. Horn really has never defeated anybody good yet. I think Pacquiao will beat the hell out of him and that is the last we will hear about Horn.
