Comments Thread For: Horn's Trainer: Definitely a Premature Stoppage - Pac Hit Harder!

[Letmaku]

Pac was tired , timing was off,wasnt as sharp

Anyone can be a brave trainer.

These kind of statements show how bad the trainers judgement is

Crawford would have put more punishment on horn had the fight gone on

Exactly. PAC is old & retirable!

Props to Bud Crawford for exposing wrestler Jeff Horn and beating him at his own game. Crawford Spence can't wait. Thats going to be a classic.

Horn was already exposed!

I thought the stoppage was a bit premature. With that said, Crawford neutralized every dirty tactic Horn had and punished him every time he tried his bull-rush nonsense. Toward the end, Bud was hitting him hard with clean shots and almost dropped him another time at the end of the round. I wanted to see Horn lying unconscious for the L, so I may not be unbiased in wanting the fight to continue.

Crawford was in total control but the stoppage was really pre mature. Wait until Horn gets knocked out clean by Crawford or is at least staggering around the ring or something. If I didn't know better I would have assumed it was a British ref in there.

It was a poor stoppage

and yes i believe Manny does hit harder

[bojangles1987]

Come on, son. Did you need Crawford to kill the poor SOB?

Byrd saved Mcgregor the same way. I guess he doesn't understand some people want to see a massacre.

Nah bro. McGregor was straight up wobbling. Horn still had his feet under him (not sure how...tough MF'er).

I agreed with the timing of the stoppage because he was eating flush shots. But let's not try to compare these two.

Horn was never really wobbled; he got buckled off that one shot, got up and walked it smoove off shades of Mayweather/Mosley. I don't have ANY damn idea how those shots didn't have Horn on Bambi Street. He was still throwing back, just had no power to keep Crawford off him.

Horn was clearly losing and was probably going to be stopped in the next round or two

that doesn't change the fact it was a bad, premature stoppage. Horn wasn't on bambi legs and was still defending himself

[SAINTSTEVE]

Maybe a little bit early but Crawford was in the process of closing the show so if anything he was spared from a worse beating and will live to fight again as they say.
Sort of like Froch vs Groves 1, some people thought it was premature but Groves is still having a career.

Rushton doesn't take the punches...his fighter does and after the fight did he say anything about a premature stoppage....No..he acknowledged he got his ass whooped
