    I hope he knocks Smith out. That guy knows nothing about boxing and needs to stay in his lane.

      Floyd/Conner is still the biggest joke by far! Do you really think Conner will put a stiff test against Floyd as Horn did against Manny? No ****ing way!

        Steven A. Smith really knows nothing about boxing & the way he talk about Horn before the fight was completely classless. He gives McGregor more respect as a boxer than he gave Horn & Conner is 10x worst. Horn has only had 17 pro fights & was able to give Manny a stiff test whether you think he won or lost! There are other fighters(Wilder) with way more pro fights with similar resumes. The majority thought Horn would be KO'd before the 5th round.

          How does Roach not tell Pac that Arum is playing him, just like he did with the Bradley fight.

            Bob sure is buddying up with this guy.

            I think Bob is thinking this kid is legit a badass or something.

            Or more likely he's just hoping to build him up for Crawford to KO him in a year & make Crawford more mainstream off of beating the guy who beat the HOFer. We'll see for sure if he throws Horn in with Vargas over a guy like Bradley post this whole Manny thing being figured out (assuming he can get a 2nd W over Manny which I by no means think is a definite thing to happen & I don't even believe it to be a likely thing to happen without questionable scorecards).

              Bob Arum continues to legitimize this decision! If he wants the U.S. to accept Horn, tell Horn to accept a fight with Terence Crawford in the U.S.!

                What's crazy (and make the whole thing suspect) is how the retirement talk has started already! Manny clearly won that fight, and is the clear favorite to win the rematch! Why are they (Roach and Arum) trying to "put him out to pasture?"

                  Good question. Does Freddie not see it? Or is he in on it too?

                  Arum is a POS.

                    Bob has been trying to get a white boxer to make a name in boxing ever since he noticed the popularity of white ufc fighters. He tried to make yuri foreman a star off cotto when he thought cotto was done after pac and that backfired. He went all in to sign Conlan after the Olympics. Now he saw this opportunity to capatelize with horn and made sure that all horn had to do was be competitive and he'd get him the decision which then made him a name overnight.
