    Horn vs. Crawford is in MSG (New York), right?...

    So...could we see another Cotto/Foreman incident?

    It’s a longstanding ritual of boxing, the custom of throwing in the towel by the trainer to stop a fight. The common sign for surrender is often dramatic and conclusive. But what happens when…

    Jeff "The Hornet" Horn might pull another Round 10 against Crawford and just throw caution to the wind.

    Or another Randamie/Holm incident?

    Which means Jeff "The Hornet" Horn might very well be free to roughhouse all night long. We might see how Crawford deals with Horn's Olympic level leg sweep technique.

    Or heaven forbid, an Abdusalomov situation when Crawford is teeing off at will.

    NYSAC's poor handling of the post-fight medicals for Dagestani heavyweight boxer Magomed Abdusalamov sparked the investigation, as Magomed's 2013 fight vs. Mike Perez proved to be a near-fatal bout. He is now speechless and partially paralyzed after a blood clot in his brain was followed by several strokes while in hospital. Abdusalamov was transported to Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan via taxi cab instead of either of the on-site ambulances at Madison Square Garden, and NYSAC doctors did not see any signs of neurological damage.

    Or, given Horn's propensity to come in huge on fight night, I hope we don't see another Joey Gamache incident where Gatti nearly (literally) killed the guy. Gatti was WAY swollen compared to Joey. I mean look at his eyes during the slow-mo the moment that uppercut landed, one of the scariest moments I've seen.
