Jeff Horn: As Heavier Guy I'll Lean On Crawford So Much He'll Think About Quitting!

[boliodogs]

Horn's big skill is leaning on fighters, wrestling, holding and hitting, mauling and head butts. When it comes to fast accurate punches he isn't very good. He wants to be allowed to wrestle and hold and hit but Byrd won't allow much of that.

Sounds like he's gonna be leaning into an uppercut or counter in a few hours then

Wpuld be good to see him pull it off , he did give pac some problems & hes got heart.

On paper he's overmatched with this fight

Good for you if he wins because you're from the UK. I can't stand that sickening bragger who has been insulting Crawford and bragging himself up since the fight was signed. I hope Crawford humiliates him.

I don't know that there will be enough size difference for this to even work. He's only 2cm taller, and has less reach. I wouldn't be surprised if there was very little difference between their weights in the ring either.

The best proponent of this tactic was Wlad. But Wlad usually had a genuine size or height advantage that made it more effective. Wlad also had no inside game, and wanted the fight to be on the outside at his preferred range - so the leaning was one of the more sensible strategies when the fight moved to the inside range - he was able to make his inside strategy actually productive.

But Horn needs to be thinking about actually hitting when he is in close, not applying a strategy which he is too small to use effectively, and which is only a fallback option for guys who lack a proper inside skillset.

Horns has no chance here. He thought he could use the same tactic he would use against Pacquiao when that tactic himself destroyed him and got a blatant robbery.

It's nothing to do with nationalities. He's from the commonwealth but that doesnt mean all aussies are cool. There's some right ejits over there, like any country. Like any other country they've got some gems too.

Brits do like an underdog..thats what he is.
He wasn't meant to beat Pac (don't think he did) & he's not meant to beat crawford

Swerve: Crawford breaks his right hand from the horse hair gloves. Switches southpaw. Breaks left hand from horse hair gloves. Meanwhile the Hornet starts walking him down...

Swerve:What a ****** thing to say.Crawford won't break his hands and horse hair gloves don't cause hand injuries any more than any other gloves. You keep pushing Horn as this great fighter. You are a terrible judge of boxing talent and don't know what you are talking about. I assume you bet money on the 7 to 1 underdog Horn to take advantage of the odds since you are so certain Horn will win.Brag your precious Horn up while you can because his days as an undeserving champion end tomorrow. Pacquiao should have won his fight with Horn by many points and Crawford will win every round and knock him out. The only thing Horn will walk down is hard fast punches to his head and body from Crawford.
