Tim Tszyu looks to be more confident...

I was surprised to see how mature Tim Tszyu is in the ring already. I hope he gets rid of Horn, it’ll be good for the sport.

Horn want a rematch clause - Tszyu does not. And Horn wants a ten round fight, while Tszyu believes his chances are better the longer the fight goes on and is looking for a twelve round fight.

Jeep Horn, stop ducking Tim2! A ten rounder?! Jeff Horn, you are a yellow-belly coward. Tim Tszyu has only 15 pro fights, with two 12 rounders in his short career as a professional -- those 12 round fights were not even against world-level opposition!

Horn knows he get beat so wants a cash out what a disgrace I just hope when they fight Tsyzu smashes so bad he don’t want a rematch

Rubbish from Horn and his camp.

Horn needs Tszyu more than the other way round. Tim is still on the rise and has an unknown future ahead of him, whereas Horn has reached his ceiling and is still trying to dominate negotiations.

He's only in this position because he landed a lucky punch against a Zerafa who was beating him up.

The fact Horn is demanding a rematch clause implies he feels he could be beaten.

If I were Tszyu and his team I'd say 'you got your 60 split. 12 rounder, no rematch clause or we walk, and you can continue to make an ass of yourself in the media by calling out fighters you have no business with.'

Sorry to tell you haters but Horn will win this one, it will be a wake up experience for Tszyu2 who has not fought the standard of fighters that Horn has.

[MDPopescu]

... and they are supposed to fight at what weight, exactly?... it's important...

[Eff Pandas]

Horn wants 10rds?!?!

As the older, more experienced & more proven guy you'd think he'd prefer 12 as Tim wants. Weird.

Lmfao, but yea that might just be the move. Tim don't need this fight just yet. He's got plenty of time with just turning 25.

Jeff's world run ended quickly so now hes just a novelty fighter in Australia it seems. Tim is already encroaching on that territory for Jeff so this is damn near holding his ground that he can hold type move by Jeff.
