Jeff Horn’s first defense of the WBO welterweight title wasn’t pretty, but the unbeaten Australian recorded a more convincing victory than he did when he upset Manny Pacquiao to win it. Horn overcame cuts above both eyes, bloodied British challenger Gary Corcoran and Corcoran’s trainer, Frank Greaves, stopped their title fight in the 11th round Wednesday night in Brisbane, Australia, Horn’s hometown. Referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to halt the scheduled 12-round bout at 1:35 of the 11th round at Brisbane Exhibition & Convention Center.

It amounts to a loss of nearly 4kg [8.8-pounds] overnight and while trainer Glenn Rushton said he made it "very comfortably", there were some private concerns inside the Horn camp that didn't dissipate until the right numbers came up on the scales.
