Still confused why Jeff thinks 10 rounds is better for him when hes fighting a lesser experinced guy.

[Squ□redCircle34]

You would think Horn would want 12 rounds since Tszyu doesn’t have as much experience fighting 12 rounders especially at.a higher level!

I think Horn should win it if he’s recovered enough from the last fight!

Tim hasn’t fought anyone even remotely close to Horn who’s as rough and rugged as they come especially if he gets the ref from the Pacquiao fight!

I dont think Horn can outbox and outwork younger, more skillful boxer, if he tries he'll be stopped, well, Horn will be ko'd in this fight anyway

Both guys ducking Zerafa I think tszyu will won this but Zerafa is the best 154lbr in Australia horn won’t fight him again cause he knows he’ll lose and tszyu ain’t ready yet

Tim Tszyu is untested.

As far as 10 rounds, I say it favors Tszyu just because Horn has issues with Round 9,but he probably doesn't want to do extended sparring sessions.

“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.

This is very weak from Jeff Horn.
Sort of hope he gets knocked out now.

[Kiowhatta]

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.

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.
