I see Jeff Horn won got a UD decision against Naoufel Ben Rabeh in Perth last night judges cards were 58-56 / 59-55 /58-57 in the 6rd bout this kids stocks just rising and rising ! And Chris John now 48-1 ! had to happen sooner or later ...
i think horn will win a world title and by that i mean a real one not some wbf or ibo bull crap . in six fights he has knocked over columban and now out pointed ben rabah who i think is world class . the only thing that could bring horn undone is going for too much too soon . i would like to see him have another 10 or so fights over the next 2 years before having a crack at a world title , but if his early career is anything to go off he wont be taking his time . got to love this blokes attitude he is obviously willing to back himself and is getting the results , wish there was more of it from our leading fighters .
This. If you're good enough you're ready Horn looks like a possible future World champion for sure.:good Unfortunately my man Matty Gartlett got starched when apparently controlling the first 4 rounds.:|:|:| That's boxing I guess.
Great result and I've already been impressed by Horn. Onward & up! Probably end of the road for Chocolata, though?
At this stage of his career he would have to be considered one of the best prospects has ever had, hopefully he does kick on
A few points.. - I think Horn will win a legitimate world title at some stage - I believe he is the Aus best prospect in a long while I also think it will come in time. Needs to go the US to beat up some fringe guys, say over the next 5 fights, then go for a shot. Also a very important point is that other than the fight against Ben Rabah, he hadn't fought beyond 2-3 rounds.. this is because he dispatched them earlier, yes. Even still, one day you will be in the trenches beyond 10 rounds and you need to have some ring experience over that time to handle it. Needs 2-3 good, solid 12 round fights in him. JMO
Lenny Zappa should be his next target. Clean out the locals first as he has done/doing and then move to the states with plenty of noise and momentum behind him. I doubt Zappas people would let him fight Horn, they should though. It would be an easy get for Lennys people as Horn doesnt have a promotor and if he does beat Horn it sets him back on track.
Impressive the two big scalps he has already. He'll beat lovemore over 6 maybe 8rds....... Chase that before selling yourself O/S
