Comments Thread For: Jeff Horn & His Handlers Want Rematch With Crawford in Australia

[SAINTSTEVE]

The statement reveals a stunning lack of awareness. Horn needs to learn the names of the other champions etc because to have a rematch of that fight is like to rematch Froch vs Bute which wasn't that option really discussed and boxing fans were nearly unanimously opposed to the idea?

Haha true, I found it amusing how Horn tried to break rythem against Crawford but looked like a pure novice

novice would be an upgrade for horn. im ecstatic his reign as ww king has ended

stop it lol Horn you got dominated, lost every round, dropped, then the ref saved your life. Not much talent shytty resume you were irrelevant before you got the belt which most feel was a robbery anyway. Without the belt you go back to being irrelevant nobody wants to see your bum azzz again.

Of course he does. He's lucky Byrd wasn't the referee for his fight with Pac, that too would have been stopped in the 9th round and so would Horn's momentum.

Honestly I was just thinking this as well earlier, for an english-speaking country with a hard-man image Australia underachieves when it comes to boxing. The US and UK run rings round it and even Canada and its neighbour New Zealand seem to consistently produce more decent fighters. I've no idea why this is. I guess geography might have something to do with it, all those other countries other than NZ have either European or American neighbours that can help push international competition, eg. Mexican boxers competing with Americans, Americans competing with Canadians, UK and mainland European fighters competing with each other. Maybe Australia should be looking to Thailand, the Philippines and Japan to create more international rivalry and improve the quality of their sporting product.

Or, well, it could just be that they're all too busy with Aussie rules football and Rugby to have much interest physical contact sport. Probably not a coincedence that some of the more famous fighters from that region eg. Paul Gallen, Anthony Mundine, Sonny Bill Williams etc. had Rugby League backgrounds.

australians can't fight their a joke!

I don't see why its a bad idea. Easy money for Crawfish. I don't see the Spence fight happening for another 2 years so why not build the bank.

the first fight was not competitive and horn got his ass kicked. surely you see why that makes a rematch in australia a bad idea. unless crawford is getting an insane payday he should literally laugh at the idea of fighting htat guy again.
