    Think Sam Soliman, his fellow countryman
    This is right here, he reminds me so much of Sam Soliman but with more power.

    What impressed me with Horn is his recovery I almost thought Manny would have had him out in the ninth round, Horn was badly stunned in that round and looked tired as ***, the next round he was able to recover while Manny couldn't get his second wind at all and was tired the rest of the fight.

    I think he is fighting either Bradley or Vargas next in Brisbane on ESPN. We will see how he does against those guys first.

    But Manny was older and I already said if someone presses Manny at his age he will not be able to handle it, Horn is my dude now, he did it, he did what I been saying to do to a washed up shot already KO Manny who is tiny, you have to use pressure and choke him, use dirty tactics, wear him down with your body weight, grind him and tire him. Horn did it and he even opened up two deep cuts on Mannys head.

    I think if Horn fights Bradley it will be head butt city.

      Horn is a workhorse, he is like Maidana combined with Ricky Hatton

        LOL

        A top Welterweight would kill him. Even one of those good 140 pounders who came to welter would destroy him.

        Manny is quite a bit slower than before, too small at welter, and work rate gone away.

            Not in top 10

            He would lose to spence, Thurman, Danny, porter, brook, Vargas, khan, bradley, lucas, lamont
            Nah, the only guys that MIGHT beat him are Thurman, Spence and Porter. Horn would stomp Garcia. Too much awkward movement, size, chin and toughness....and boxing skills.

              I don't see think Horn is that similar to Soliman. Horn has way better movement and is a decent size welter, with heavy hands and more tricks than Sam had.

                  This. Manny is a shell of the fighter he was.

                    This is the first time I've seen him fight beyond a couple highlights and he is pretty good. He moves a lot more than I expected and can throw punches while moving PLUS he knows how to fight on the inside. With his added size and strength, the guy will be hard to handle for any welter.

                    I'm not sure what the rematch situation is but I think after the mando, Horn should look to fight against someone like Porter, who I think he beats. Thurman and Spence v HOrn would be interesting.

                      I think that horn is quite bad, tbh.
