    Yeah good fighter, no doubt. Great win. We'll see how good he truly is, in the future. For right now, it's up for debate.

      Before the fight I was seeing tremendous backlash due to him being unknown but he was the mandatory and he needed an opportunity to prove himself. I understand the negativity as he was an unknown quantity however a few things people overlooked:
      -Australia's best ever olympic representative (quarter finalist, lost to silver medalist)
      -Earned mandatory position
      -has shown he can get back up from a hard KD like vs randal Bailey...when randall hits a motherlover they usually stay slept

      The ESPN commentary was absolute shambles but here in England it was a lot closer and we all agreed it could have gone either way. 7-5 Horn seemed perfectly reasonabls to me however I honestly question compubox cause no way Horn landed nearly half as many, he was doing ALL the work inside. Nonetheless I love Pacquiao and this is heartbreaking to me. This Pac would have lost to Bradley and Vargas. Maybe it's time to call it a day. Congratulations to Jeff, let the man celebrate, outstanding conditioning...dirty tactics but a fight's a fight. Teddy Atlas' behaviour when interviewing Horn was however disgusting; is dude meant to admit losing a close fight? Bradley was apparently the least biased understandingly as he experienced similar vs Manny (I thought he lost clearly)

      Now what I'd like to see is my boy who's also the highest WBO challenger, Lucas Matthysse put some hurt on that boy
      -

      Australia's best ever olympic representative (quarter finalist, lost to silver medalist)....is an incorrect statement. Grahame "spike" Cheney won the silver medal for australia at the 1988 olympics. Wiki shows that he defeated Ike "bazooka" Quartey by 5 - 0 shutout... the same quartey who took odlh life and death.

        Horn doesn't live in a bubble. To suggest this guy who most consider a top 30ish guy in a division with 2,000+ people isn't at a minimum good is just silly.

        Agree to disagree doe. I just don't get this overly critical stance that boxing fans have that requires them to suggest so many professional fighters are just garbage more or less or just that so many fighters aren't elite or even good boxers after so many years put into the sport.
        Dunn just said Horn isnt dangerous because of speed, wtf? dude doesn't box, I boxed trained boxing and study boxing, this clown Big Dunn is just a floyd fan and black nationalist idiot everything is about black this black that and praising the black man he needs to leave he has no clue about boxing at all never seen him break down ****. just dissing Pacman, praising Floyd and calling people racist.

        Maidana was slow yet hurt broner and roughed up Floyd, same as castillo, so I guess they were not dangerous to Floyd the guy makes no sense at all, he just finding ways to discredit Horn.

        Horn is a fast guy, he moved a lot wasn't stationary he reminds me of a bigger version of Hatton combined with the awkward punching of Maidana.

        Horn just proved he can hang with the elite he beat Pacquiao

          Jeff horn isn't Australia's best ever Olympic representative he was the best Aussie rep at London 2012 Reginald snowy baker got silver in 1908 London games at middleweight and Grahame spike Cheney silver in 1988 at Seoul Olympics at light welterweight
