Comments Thread For: Jeff Horn Promises To "Rag Doll" Tim Tszyu In Down Under Encounter

Keen to see the Jeffinator teach the kid a boxing lesson! If Tszyu is half as good as his old man he will make it a hell of a scrap! War Horn!

Jeff channeling Khabib. Can't wait to see his suplex #DaHornet

I’m hoping Jeff gets the win, he gets a lot of undeserved grief on here but I like him.
Don’t know anything about Tim to be fair but I’m sceptical about him being anywhere near his dads level. I rewatched the Chavez, Judah and Mitchell fights recently and that guy was a beast.

More like channeling his inner Hatton.

I was looking at Horn +180 but all the funny business with the judges not now. Still think Horn smashes up mini tsyzu

Kostya was light welter at 140
Tim is super welter at 154, so two divisions heavier
Not mini...

Considering how aussies are so fond of and good at other contact sports like rugby and aussie rules football as well as being perceived as a nation of hard men who wrestle sharks and shave their balls with crocodile teeth, I've never really managed to fathom why Australian boxing is so lame compared to pretty much any other English-speaking country.

Because just being hard only goes so far in the sport of boxing at elite level.
You need a good school that teaches you the fundamentals well.
Australia does not have that.
Hello from Melbourne!

Elite junior athletes are targeted by other sports from a young age

Boxing is very much a niche sport here

It's the isolation from the rest of the world. Can't test skills as much as they can/do in other countries

They are one of the most PC lefty countries out.

The typical modern "Aussie tough guy" is some Greek immigrant called "theo stroppapoppolis" who has a gay haircut and wears Calvin klein t shirts in a small to make himself look more muscly
