Curious as to how the Australian fight fans view this matchup. I saw that they planned on having it scheduled for a Wednesday so that their football games don't impact their viewership.
Asking for the rematch clause is so that, if the outcome is controversial, Fighter B can't run. Lest we forget, Manny had a rematch clause for Horn, which he DUCKED.
So let's be careful talking about why fighters ask for the clause.
F*** this I am getting old, used to love watching Tim's old man as a kid now his son is taking on the world. Props to Tim for wanting this fight but he hasn't fought at this level yet so dunno how it plays out, I would favour the Jeffinator IF it's a t 154. This middleweight BS campaign was a dumb idea. Reading the comments, *sigh* rematch clauses and round requests is just posturing come on guys.
I'm guessing that Horn wants 10 rounds because he cuts so badly, the longer the fight the more that may become an issue. He only has a few months to heal from the last face massage too. Another point may be that Horn plans to KO Tszyu 2 within 10, any longer will maybe give Tszyu 2 a chance to get back into the fight.
