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

[robbyheartbaby]

The thing is, what if Horn is actually a good fighter and just happened to beat Manny because he's a good fighter?

So I guess Jessie Vargas and Tim Bradley are on the Rod Salka level since an old Pacquiao dominated them in his 2 fights before Horn? Before the Pac Horn fight everyone was saying how it was a cherry pick and he was going to knock Jeff Horn out, mind you most people didnt even bother going to watch his fights before they made that assessment. Then once Horn wins now all of a sudden Pacquiao is shot and a gatekeeper? Same thing they said about Rigo that he was elite and would knock Loma out abd then once he gets dominated now hes a shot fighter. Give credit where its due Horn and Pacquiao are both top 5 welterweights and I agree completely with Crawfords assessment

Don't forget lil g with the he is getting old excuse....LOL

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.

Only if Bud can't hurt him at 147, should be interesting.

He won`t. Maybe he fights Lomachenko. Catchweight 137 or something.

137? Try 140.

Like I have said before, Manny got bullied & Jeff Horn won the fight.

Horn won plain and simple...whoever doesn't think so rewatch the fight. Manny was getting manhandled in there for many rounds.

The crow just to good

Horn is just mediocre ... plain and simple. Not even close to the level Crawford is. Will get Ko within 5 rds

[martin_1995]

the truth

Horn is just mediocre ... plain an simple. He need to make noise to sell this nonsense fight. The craw is just to good for such a nobody. Wont even watch this junk match because is going to be a very short night for Horn.

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.

All excellent points.

Horn just got a home town win! That's it!
