    I gotta say I admire The Hornet's determination/ self belief in his abilities. Whether hes right or wrong the fact he actually believes what he says and isn't just blowing smoke for the sake of it, like Khan does for example.

    Unfortunately for him he got a bs decision against the pac man like Bradley did and hes gonna get the same hate Bradley got until Pac got his revenge.

    Had pac gotten the rightful decision in Brisbane I think Horn would have earned himself a lot more fans for his effort in the ring.

    All that aside he reminds me of Maidana with less power. hes a strong tough awkward sob who isn't the best boxer but will give you hell all night long win lose or draw

      The right man got the decision in Horn v PAC.

      He is never going to be forgiven for beating a legend.....who thought he was in for an easy payday.

      Like him or hate him he is one tough SOB.

      TC is not likely to make the same mistake of underestimating Horn as Manny and his team did.

      Regardless of the outcome Horn is going to give a good account of him self against a talented fighter who will be auditioning in the WW division for the first time!

      Horn is a first good stern test for TC to see if he is going to be a factor in this division.

      If Gamboa can hurt TC i'll love to see how he reacts when big Horn nails him.

      Hoping Horn does not get cut prematurely.

      May the best man win.

        Horn can hurt Crawford, but he's a bit too slow with his shots.

          I actually scored the fight with Pac a draw. Though Horn benefitted massively with the refereeing in that fight.

          Horn pushed the rules and it helped him win a hometown decision with hometown advantages.
          I doubt he gets away with half as much leading in with his head in Vegas, some of the refereeing in recent big fights have really ruined some world title fights lately. Kovalev-Ward II and the Joshua-Parker fights spring to mind.
          It's corrupt refereeing that's really been annoying me lately, it literally stops the away fighter from launching sustained attacks and ruins the spectacle.
          Howard Foster running in to save Povetkin getting knocked out on his feet before Price could get to him and giving him a standing 8 count. Standing counts are for the amateurs not the pro's.
          That's how I know Joshua-Wilder isn't happening anytime soon.

            Just get it over with already. Hopefully Horn gets penalized for head butting and holding

            He can’t win with any other strategy or score without getting close. He’s just an ugly boxer to watch.

                I think he is a good boxer to watch.
                He uses his feet constantly to come in and out of range and circling his opponents trying to create akward angles.

                  I'm a sucker for an underdog story and I'm no fan of Arum, so no objection to Horn causing an upset, I think Crawford is just a bit too slick for him.
