Comments Thread For: Jeff Horn Pleased That He Secured "Ten Rounds" For Tim Tszyu

[Ca$ual Fan]

I have a feeling Tszyu is gonna embarrass this guy. Horn is a weirdo asking for 10 rds when he’s supposed to be the ‘more experienced’ fighter.

Perhaps Horn is saying to Tszyu 2 that he can easily clean him up in ten rounds. Plus there is less chance of getting cut. LOL at the criticism, there will be more action in this fight than in most fights in fact every time Horn fights there is action/drama, what more do fans want?

Horn is an over-rated club fighter, a brawler who will get picked apart by the younger, more technically gifted Tszyu.

Horn is obviously going to train for an early onslaught, placing pressure on Tszyu in the early going in order to put him off his game.

Probably ironically similar to his father's clash with Ricky Hatton.

Horn getting his way in negotiations shows his weakness in mental toughness, with Tszyu possibly confident enough that he doesn't care whether it's 12-10, interesting would be whether it's a 22-foot ring or less.

12 rounders are usually only reserved for championship fights, so Horn does have the right to demand a 10 rounder if no belts are on the line (which I'm unsure of).

Overall, this is good for Australian boxing which is hanging on by a thread, since the Brisbane debacle with a hometown gift decision over Pacman for Horn - ever since we haven't been flooded with offers for international draws.

For the betterment of Australian boxing we need a competitive fight, but a fight in which Tim really takes Horn to school or knocks him out, giving him the springboard to move up from journeymen to prospects, contenders and former titlists.

For the foreseeable future in Australia everyone will want a piece of the guy who beat the guy who beat the guy who beat Pac.

The Manny Lineal Title.

They want fighters like Andrade.

Yes but Zerafa won't come down to Horn's settled weight, Horn went up to match Zefafa but that was a step too far in weight.

Categorically false all 3 are 154 lb fighters

Why ten rounds Horny?! Because you will be drained at 154 and will get tired!?

I see that coming. The man who beat the man who beat the man. Just the same, Horn in these outback rumbles isn't that bad. He's not unwatchable, just a little deluded. He's not the best, but he puts on an acceptable show. Brutal and clumsy.

Nope, Zerafa is a middleweight, the other two light middle. For the second fight Horn wanted to fight at light middle but Zerafa refused.

“Why push myself too hard when it could only be a 10-round fight and I could get ready for it a lot easier?”

Shows Horns lack of motivation. Normally the least experienced guy would want 10 rounds. Seriously hope Tszyu whoops this guy.

100%. If Horn was accurately quoted this is almost unbelievably negative, defeatist self-talk.

It's also delusional thinking; training for a 10 round fight should be virtually identical, if not identical, to training for a 12 round fight.

Tszyu hasnt beaten anyone of note but neither has Horn. Horn has the big advantage in terms of experience. I havent seen Tim fight.


I hope Tim beats his ass, Horn is annoying as *** and lets his gift win over Pac get to his head, he is so over hyped. Now his team is crying before the fight has even taken place, trying to get all their excuses ready, he doesnt sound like he expects to win.
