Comments Thread For: Fenech: Horn Beats Pacquiao Again, Crawford Much More Difficult

[SugarRayCurtain]

To be honest Horn just doesnt look the part
He looks clumsy and slow, hes rough and tough but at the highest level its not enough
Pacquiao looked old and somewhat under prepared (Konz only wanted him sparring 130lbs guys cuz of the wear and tear) and still really won.

Horn looks clumsy and slow and elite fighters just dont look clumsy and slow like he does, who relies mainly on his size to win fights.

Pac gonna lump him up bad in the rematch. I could see a tko on cuts in this one

I actually agree with Fenech. I don't see the outcome being any different. Horn is just too big and awkward for Manny to look good against. He's not the kind of fighter that's going to consistently back up from his opponent. Horn was such a train wreck, he just needed keep backing up, let him stumble all over him self, and counter him all night. He had a chance to put him in away in the 9th but he either couldn't or chose not to.

Precisely. And I 100% agree with Fenech:

If they do meet again, Fenech expects the same outcome as the first meeting.

"I don’t believe he can beat Jeff Horn, unless he can land a lucky punch early," Fenech told Sky Sports’ Big Sports Breakfast.

"Jeff showed him. He (Pacquiao) hit Jeff in the ninth and he was gone and Manny didn’t have the energy to get out there and finish it off and Jeff Horn went out there and won the next round after nearly getting stomped.''

That's exactly what happened - a guy that took Manny's best over 3 minutes, got a rush of adrenaline not seen since The Battle of the Champions (Pryor/Arguello), and sent Manny into hiding, setting himself atop the Welterweight division.

why cant you give him credit for landing far more punches? why does the guy who constantly barrels forward missing punches and running into punches get credit? low expectations strikes again. he didnt get ko'd so he wins. he made it ugly so he wins. anyone can make a fight ugly if they have the right ref. let ward tell you that. doenst mean you win though. if they have a rematch and horn ko's manny with low blows it would be perfect. everyone would think hes a fraud while not realizing that ward did the same thing. stay at home wtih corrupt refs/judges and cheat to win. its different when its in australia guys!

The fight was so ugly you couldn't tell who was landing punches half the time. The ninth was the most decisive round and it was for Pacquiao. Why couldn't he do that the entire fight? I gave Pacquiao credit for winning the fight. He got robbed because he didn't look good doing it. I didn't give Horn credit for anything other than being a train wreck.

I don't think Horn did enough to win the first time but the fight was so ugly you could hardly give Pacquiao credit for anything he was doing. It won't change in a second fight.

Where did I say that? I said the outcome will be the same. A very ugly fight where Pacquiao won't look good against a big, awkward, train wreck. I thought Pacquiao won the fight in the first place and got robbed. But it was ugly and sometimes ugly fights produce bad results.

you said a rematch will not change anything and will still have the same outcome. im reminding you that the fight almost got stopped in pac's favor. its not like horn came close to stopping pac, it was the other way around. in a rematch, i see pac schooling horn.
