Even I, being Australian knew that Horn got a gift in Brisbane over Pacman, and was more concerned about the damage that was done in terms of attracting big name fights here.
But all the die-hard, one-eyed patriot's who litter every nation kept up their stubborn rhetoric, backing Horn no matter what, the press treating him as a Cinderella man.
Now he has been exposed as a journeyman at best, he got his pay-day, so he should be happy as he's educated and can always find a job as a teacher.
The best outcome from this fight for the losing side is to seriously re-think the way boxing is managed in this country, Horn's name was hardly mentioned in the press anyway, more as an afterthought, which is counter to what is happening around the world which could be called a spluttering revival.
If the Brits can fill 80,000 seat stadia and produce great talent, then we ought to be able to here.
But no, for too long boxing has been interfered with, banning kids from boxing (for their safety) and little to no money being invested in real talent.
The model here is pad a record with thai boxers, then fluke a shot with a U.S champ, get your socks beaten off and that's it.

Horn was coming forward and leaving him exposed way to much but thats his style, whats next for Horn probably retire or take a fight with Mundine.
He has taken a lot of punishment last 2 fights Granite chin sure but that does nothing for the brain walking into big shots.
