    Yeah I was real torn on this one, especially after reading that he was talking about going toe to toe.... leaning slightly towards Tim but with him getting dragged deep and possibly even requiring a little generousity from the judges.

    What I absolutely did not expect was what actually transpired. Kid showed fantastic maturity and although he's still got plenty of work - and development - in front of him, at this stage I think he could be at least competitive with almost anyone in his division right now.
    You know I love you guys, and respect all you say.

    But... did you see what condition Horn was in? He didn't manage to throw more than (perhaps) three effective punches, and was open-mouthed after two rounds.

    Tszyu fought a hasbeen in very poor shape.

      Mmm. Definitely some questionmarks over Horns physical shape, won't argue that. But I don't think I'm overreaching by claiming that Tim could be 'at least competitive' with almost anyone in the division. Surely would go in his favour to develop some more with progessively more difficult opponents and different styles though.

      In fact - in typical Koba fashion - I'm hedging it to the nth degree with the almost anyone and at least competitive so he'd have to flop completely for that statement to be wrong, but yeah, It's fair to say we probably shouldn't get too carried away off a comprehensive beatdown of a possibly not 100% Jeff Horn.

      I thought young Tszyu looked pretty damn good though.

        Ah, me too, for that matter.

        Moreover, in fairness it has to be said that a sloppy, out of shape Horn was not an easy target to hit, given his proclivity to hold and, in general, mess things up. So, Tszyu showed indeed maturity and poise.

          lol Koba is the man. He puts his views across in a logical, practical way that its very hard to disagree with anything he says.
          If Koba doesnt get the boxing Scene belt this year then we know theirs corruption in the ranks.

              I have tried to corrupt Koba in the past in order to be warranted extra x5 multipliers, to no avail.

                    If you actually box or are interesting in training you might find the training and nutrition forum of use too, if you just like to shoot the breeze and talk about the fights and fighters this forum's the place.

                    Training and nutrition forum:
