    I'm Sure rod salka was surprised by the odds against him vs Danny Garcia too but when you're over matched... You're overmatched

      I believe there were plenty of non-legit tactics by Horn that made a difference in this fight & likely would have gotten in points deducted & maybe DQ'd with other refs in charge so idk if I can buy what you are selling with the smothering won Horn the fight stance you got.

        Horn is being watched, Vegas gets the odds right most of the time. If they say 9 to 1, he needs to quit wondering and start worrying. My advice is make the ref earn his money. Get on top of Bud and make the ref pry him off.

          Horn is getting washed early.

            Pacquiao is smaller and still bloodied up and bruised up Horn pretty badly. Crawford, as powerful and accurate as he is, and as smart as he is, he should be able to get Horn out of there before 12 at least by ref/corner stoppage. He will end up just taking too much punishment. He does have a good chin but then again Pacquiao was older and hadn't KO'ed anyone in a while, not even Rios who was virtually a punching bag just like Horn.

              This is going to get BRUTAL, just watch! This might look like Floyd vs Gatti.

                For most, the outcome is a foregone conclusion.

                The weight of (HIGH) expectation is on Bud.

                If he does not win by impressive and CONCLUSIVE stoppage as most seem to expect he is going to have a lot of doubts and criticism (fairly or unfairly) come his way in his new weight class.

                If Horn does not get cut or get cut early, this could get very interesting before its all over.

                Fortunately fights are not won on paper!!!

                Here is hoping there is no controversy in this one.

                  Crawfords fighting out of his comfort zone and I doubt he has had to match up against an in ya face brawler like Horn.

                  I expect Horn to sit Crawford on his ass inside the first 5

                    I got Horn by decision if pacquiao who has stopped many opponents couldnt stopped Horn, neither will Crawford but check this out I dont think Crawford has dealt with a style like Horn's.

                      How people give Horn a chance in this fight is beyond me. "If Pac couldnt stop Horn then..." Please. Pac hasnt Ko'ed anyone at 147. So how is it suprising that he couldnt stop even Horn at an old age, after getting ko'ed and beaten a couple times as a younger man?

                      This fight will be a brutal beatdown from the second round on. Bud will either KO Horn in the sisxth or the towel comes in flying somewhere between 5th and 6th.

                      Buds straight shots will be landing flush all night long. When Horn runs forward over excited trying to make the fight a brawl. He is not going to be able to do that, cause his skill set is no where near that good.

                      Gatti - Floyd? Gatti was muuuuuuch better fighter compared to Horn.
