Michael Zerafa has made it perfectly clear that he doesn't rate former WBO world champion Jeff Horn.

Horn, 19-1 (13 KO'S) will face off against compatriot Michael Zerafa 26-3 (15 KO's) at the Bendigo Stadium in Australia, August 31st.

Horn holds a controversial decision win over Manny Pacquiao and is looking to build towards another world title fight however he must first beat the confident and outspoken Zerafa.

"He beat Manny Pacquiao at welterweight and he beat Mundine who's 10 years past his prime," stated Zerafa. "I'm bigger, faster, stronger and younger. I'm a cleaner boxer with better timing and reach, Horn won't be able to bully me."

Zerafa himself is eyeing bigger fights overseas and he doesn't rate Jeff Horn, especially at middleweight.

"He has a great win against Pacquiao but that was at welterweight, this fight is at middleweight. I want to get back overseas for more big fights so this win is vital. Jeff is going to struggle with my style, he won't be able to negate my jab and he won't be able to walk me down, I'm too strong," Zerafa said.

IN OTHER NEWS: Up and coming bantamweight prospect Damien Vazquez couldn't help but shake his head in disbelief at two of the scorecards issued in his fight against Josue Morales in Edinburgh, Texas.  One judge scored the fight a reasonable 58-56 in Vazquez's favor but that was overruled by the other two judges who scored the fight a head scratching 57-57.  Most observers of the FS2 televised fight felt that Vazquez won at least 4 rounds of the bout.

Morales fights out of Houston, Texas but Vazquez wasn't worried about fighting him in his home state.  Vazquez is willing to fight anyone, anytime and anywhere - as long as the officiating is done without bias.

"I thought I won that fight clearly.  I went to his state and out boxed him. I respect the judges but those scores were BS.  No way he won more than two rounds.  I am going to come back even better than this.  Everyone knows I won that fight," said Vazquez.

The 22 year old Vazquez was fighting for the first time since his first loss as a professional to former champion Juan Carlos Payano in March. He wants to get right back in the ring as he works his way towards a world title shot.

"We are looking for the big fights.  I hope to be back soon and I will put on a show for all the fans.  I am still young and improving.  You haven't seen the best of me yet," Vazquez stated.
