Aussies support Horn not so much due to patriotism (hence the huge support for Pacquiao in the Horn fight) and more so due to his story....
The scrawny, soft spoken, bullied little kid who became a school teacher, represented his country has now become a world champion........
..... it's a great story.
Aussies like battlers.... and Horn is a battler.
