    Horn should be happy. His 15 mins can last a little longer.

    Having said that any "injury" will be called a duck by Boxing fans. Too many fans are more interesting with who's ducking who than who's fighting who these days. Boxing fans are probably the dumbest of all sports fans.

    These 2 guys together got it right.

    Bob and ESPN are moving the fight from debuting ESPN's PPV service to ESPN's streaming service.

        Regardless there is no way does Crawford deserve a world title fight this early on at 147, he is just gonna hold that belt hostage and fight ****ty top rank fighters and pad his bum ass record some more.
        WBO rules say that a champion in the weight class directly below a weight class can move up and will be positioned to fight the champion immediately.

          Why on earth would Crawford duck Horn? Based on his one notable fight which was a gift decision and in which he was nearly knocked out by a past it Pac. Absolutely ridiculous contention.

            We hope. And at this rate, unless we get Battle of Brisbane III in Queensland, it's not likely.

            All I'm saying is, don't throw out injury if you're not injured. That's a b*tch move on Crawford's part and totally unlike him. This is like Mosley's tooth excuse all over again

              It's been pulled because it had 0 interest and no buzz. Their was a reason they wanted Pacquio on the undercard. TC cannot sell on his own, apart from when he's fighting in Omaha.

                Because a lot of Boxing fans suffer from pugilistic dementia it seems.

                  Hahahahaha these Horn fans are comical.

                  Horn is nothing but a tuneup for Crawford one of the easiest guys in the division to beat.

                      IF he were so easy, people'd be lining up to fight and beat him.

                      Reality is, he's just as ducked as Spence.
