Horn/Crawford: Let's not have excuses after the fight please

[Combat Talk Radio]

First of all, let's respect the A-Side, which is Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn.



Second, and more importantly, this is #1 Welterweight vs. #1 Jr. Welterweight in the World. Let's respeck where both these guys are at this point in their career. Obviously, The Hornet has the bigger win, but they're both #1. Let's acknowledge this.

If - And I stress, If - Crawford goes on a Mayweather performance against Horn, I don't want to see double standards from some of you:

• "what a boxing masterclass!"
• "Easy work!"
• "Just like I said it would go"

No, do what you always do, and you know who you are:

• "All he did was RUN!"
• "you can't win a fight with a jab"
• "Horn landed the more telling punches"
• "Crawford got EXPOSED!"
• "Crawford's a bum"
• "Who'd Crawford really beat?"

Don't walk it back. If Crawford fights like that, call it "running" just like you did for Floyd, just like you did for Saunders, just like you did for Rigo, etc.

But same for Horn though. If Horn gets the W, I don't want to hear:

• "Crawford got ROBBED!"
• "Corrupt ref let Horn get away with MMA tactics"
• "Judges were paid off"
• "Bob Arum"
• "Horn's a dirty MF'n fighter"

Especially since Burt Clements (who gave McGregor 1 round against Floyd and was ultimately responsible for the draw in Pac/Marquez 1) and some completely unknown Australian guy are two of the judges.

Nope...I don't want to hear excuses. I don't want to hear it. Whoever gets the W...whoever gets their hand raised, however they do...give them props as they will become the new face of Boxing.

I hope Horn beats the **** out of Crawford. Beat the thug out of him.

I hope and know Crawford is going to smash this guy to pieces and I will love it.

You need your Blood Alcohol Level checked immediately

[Boxnation fan]

Horn is the Number 1 Welterweight in the World.

Beating Manny Pac, even if it was a faded version is still a better win then any thing Spence Jr or Thurman have done so far.

[Phenom]

Lol at Horn being the face of boxing

Looking forward to the fight shame it's on the ****** app and I will have to look for a illegal stream

[Banderivets]

I hope Crawford starches this fool.......

Poor Manny robbed like that, justice is coming.

[ruedboy]

It's not Crawford's fault that Horn will probably go off as a 20-1 underdog, but how much credit can you give Terence for beating him?

[Cadet Bonespurs]

Send Horn back to irrelevancy. He may have rough housed an old, undersized Pac but he’s not doing that to Crawford.

[just the facts]

I hope Horn beats the **** out of Crawford. Beat the thug out of him.

Well as they say as long as you're dreaming dream big. No chance
