    Arum didn't pick a no name for no reason. This is a win/win for Arum & Horn. Even when Horn loses this fight his exposure/name has grown massive overnight.

    Bob has given his fighter Horn a huge opportunity to gain recognition - all Horn has to do is make a decent account of himself.

    Horn's next fight you'll think 'that's the guy manny fought' instead of 'who the f-ck is this guy'

    So don't get ko'd early Horn as that wastes everybodys time!
    LMFAO, but yea this.

    I'm not even sure a lot of people know this is an in-house fight. Thats how sneaky &/or low profile that Arum/Duco agreement was.

      I thought that was a Gene Simmons move?

      This kid don't suck by any means, but he's a limited guy who's been dropped by two of his last three opponents. And those weren't world class guys like Manny is. And I got a much looser definition of world class then most of the dummies here who'll causally call the 7th best fighter in a division a bum. This kid hasn't even fought anyone I'd deem as world class yet so this is gonna be a huge jump up in class for him.

      Horn's only real opportunity to win here is if he performs beyond expectations for what we've seen of him, assuming you've seen him at all which I couldn't fault anyone who hasn't all that much + Manny performs well below expectations from his last couple fights all on the same night which seems highly unlikely. Although I suppose the home field advantage helps ease things in Horn's way just a tad bit more, meaning he'll need to rise just a tad bit less &/or Manny will need to fall just a tad bit less, as I think Manny made a bad move by not being in Australia sooner to acclimate to the new environment.

              Not a bigger fan than me.

              Any guy who was a school teacher, and obviously played pro ball at the same damn time, is something special.

                Bombastic Bob said the same thing about Chris Algieri.
