    I thought this fight was going to take place in the 154 division??

      It is - which is Horn's comfortable weight.

      But him going up and down like he has is same kind of thing that ultimately weakened Roy Jones, I think is the point.

      I don't think Horn will have that issue here though. He fought Zerafa at his walk-around weight, which isn't his fighting weight. That's different than bulking for the sake of bulking and then draining and then bulking again. Horn hasn't tasted 147 since the Crawford fight and even then he came in large.

      The only way Horn should lose this fight is if he either doesn't train, gets injured or has a bad camp. Period.

      My call: accidental headbutt results in a cut that stops the fight early.

        Not a good idea in brawling with Horn unless you are confident you can match his firepower.

            Weird I only just read in here somewhere they were going at 147 and I cant find it, but if I search google it comes up in a post here thats not here lol, I must be going crazy lol.

            Yeah 154 is ok its a good weight for Horn, MW to high WW he is just scrapping in.

              Me too. Maybe the junior welter is a typo?

                  This 100%. I can only assume this is either Tim trying to play mindgames or some kinda weird bravado cos I can't believe Tim's ****** enough to think it's a good idea to slug it out with Horn, literally throwing away every advantage. Damn to my eyes his biggest problem is gonna be stopping Jeff from turning it into an ugly brawl and I'm far from convinced he'll be able to do that.
