I live in australia and had never heard of him...but it wouldnt surprise me if everyone is talking about him after july. He doesnt have to win..just get carried a few rounds and the decent fights will come.
What puzzles me most is how the WBO and IBF have Horn ranked #2? That is scandalous. These sanctioning bodies are garbage.
I understand Pac wanting to fight overseas so he can keep more of his money, but come November he needs to get a fight with Khan, or some other top welter who is willing to fight overseas or who can bring in some fan interest. Too bad Garcia and Broner ducked, could have been good fights.
Jeff "Horn" is an HOF guard for Utah Jazz and is now the current NBA coach for the NY Knicks.
Should be a great fight despite having little to zero combat training. He has a distinct size advantage and Phill Jackson the Zen Master in his corner.
