Comments Thread For: Horn's Trainer: After We Stop Crawford, Experts Must Give Credit!

[Combat Talk Radio]

Hmm. Two different sources give two different answers.

Is this confirmed Vegas? Because...

http://www.fightsports.tv/arum-updat...ford-pacquiao/

"As we discussed last week in Brisbane, it’s all set, it’s contractual, Horn versus Terence Crawford."

That can be read a couple of ways. Yet 4 days ago:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap...d-Rushton.html

Jeff Horn may have never had the chance to "achieve greatness" against Terence Crawford had he not agreed to an April fight in Las Vegas, his trainer Glenn Rushton says.

...

Rushton said Horn was relishing the challenge of fighting in America - where the crowds, media and judges will all be against him - and proving a point to his doubters.

"The only way you can get recognition is to go over there and fight the guy that most people regard as the best fighter in the world and stop him," he said.

so basically you're a fat **** who can barely move. One shot to the gut and you'll be on your knees spitting up taco meat.

Not at all my man. You just an idiot who got told and now your p.ussy hurts. Like I told your b.itch a.ss before. Sit down

and what have you told me? All you've told me is that you love Canelo and are biased because of this passionate love.

Won’t happen...

But yeah clearly in that hypothetical world Horn and team would deserve respect

[alexguiness]

This is the type of fight that ends with Horny busted up really badly.

Like Pac vs Margarito.

There are guys capable of knocking out Crawford if they land right. I don't think Jeff Horn is one of them. I mean, Gamboa did have Crawford badly hurt at 135, but that's the point, Gamboa, a natural 126 pounder, still probably hits harder than Jeff Horn does at 147. And that's why this is such a ridiculous matchup.

and that is the only reason the "great" Crawford is fighting Horn. thinks it will be easy. got to give it to Horn not like the other cowards who wont fight anyone good and barely fight once a year

You can think it was a poor decision thats ok because 3 judges on fight night and then 7 out of 7 Wbo judges after the fight all believed Horn won. It was a close fight and could have gone either way but Horn was the one coming forward and applying pressure. Guys like Bradley and Vargas got dominated by Pacquiao so even if you dont think Horn won you have to give him credit for making it a close fight because most other top welterweights couldnt

Pac won by at least two rounds on the night = 7-5, but maybe more. Pac is not active and every year after 35 sees you physically age more than you are chronologically aging (been there done that) Pac had even dropped off from when he beat Vargas by the time he thought Horn. Horn is maybe a top 20 welterweight but not top ten - unless you think Pac is still a terror at 147 and that Horn trashed him. I don't.

I will give Horn full credit if he wins which I think is almost impossible. Horn is in for a shock when he finds out head butts, head locks, choke holds, mauling and holding and hitting aren't allowed outside of Australia. Horn is a very lucky guy who's luck will run out when he steps in the ring with Crawford.

[SthPaw]

I really can’t wait for someone to derail Horn and his delusions.

[boliodogs]

Horn isn't a great fighter or even a good fighter so fighting Crawford isn't going to prove he is a great fighter. It's going to prove he is the mediocre fighter most boxing fans already know he is.
