Comments Thread For: Crawford: Horn Was Roughing Pacquiao Up, Pushing Him Around

[MikeEhrmantraut]

the closer this fight gets, the more Horn is likely to pull off an upset. Horn can make this a very ugly fight with his physicality and put in enough swing rounds that can go either way, the judges may be fooled by Horn's punching the way they were fooled in the Pacquiao fight. Horn doesnt land many clean, but the volume makes him look like he's winning the fight.

And that's all that matters. He got the win. Respect from Crawford for telling the truth of the matter.

Now let's get off this "robbery" BS - Manny got bullied and allowed it to happen.

That's the way I felt about it. I was going for Manny Pacquiao and I thought he was going to walk thru Jeff Horn and stop him within 6 rounds. But Jeff Horn was bigger than Pac and just used his weight to his advantage. Also Pac should have threw flurries of punches when he had Horn in deep trouble but he couldn't finish him off. So it is what it is at this point no argument is going to overturn the ruling of the fight. Plus Pac will fight the winner anyway to redeem himself so he can still avenge the loss.

I don't think Crawford ever underestimates his opponents, which is why he beats them. And why I think he's going to outclass Horn.

Horns best chance of success will be making things very rough and sloppy, cutting Bud with his head at some point on the way.

But I think Crawford will keep good distance and outbox Horn cleanly, and if Horn shows the right look, Crawford will press in to try and stop him.

If Crawford stops Horn, then that's the arrival of a real threat to all at 147. If he outpoints him then I'll still obviously have questions about Crawford's power at the new weight, despite the fact Horn is a very tough and pretty big guy.

Nah, Crawfords Arums new cash cow plus the fight is in the US... This would boost up Crawfords stock if he beat the dude that beat Pacquiao.... Marketing tool for Arum...

pacquiao got two losses vs horn lol. the original three judges then the review.

only reason ppl were crying was because teddy atlas threw a temper tantrum that got him fired.

I'm not sure how this plays out considering how shhh judging can be if it goes to 12 but there have been questions about Crawford's chin which will eventually need to be answered. If i'm betting on anyone it would be Crawford but with Top Rank and shhh judges who the hell knows how this can play out if it doesn't end in a stoppage.

when Manny picked him he didn't have a signature win or held a championship.the media referred to him as a schoolteacher and ESPN/Arum marketed him that way.

Now he is the WBO WW champ and seen as one of the top 5 WW since he beat a top 5 WW.

Why would people consider him the same as they did before he beat Manny?
