    I'm sure there will be bids from at least Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney to host an event the size of Horn's first title defence against Pacquiao. Will be interesting to see who wins it.

    I'm getting tired of Pacquaio. Pacquaio is one of my favorite fighters of all time. Dude needs to retire ASAP. Why put his health at risk?

    It's going to be like the Uchiyama-Corrales saga in reverse, this time Manny gets TKO'd early.

    What do you think MidniteProwler will think about that suggestion?

    Apparently Brisbane has first crack at the rematch. But it can rain like there is no tomorrow in Brisbane at that time of year and I don't think they have a big enough indoor venue to cater for it.

    For that reason I would have thought Etihad stadium in Melbourne would be perfect. It holds about 55,000, is surrounded by sports crazy Melbournians and importantly, it has a roof.

    Criminal judges, referee, boxing commission again? With Arum you never know, but I doubt if Arum will allow Pac to win, yes, Pac will win the fight, but the judges will cheat. Pac needs to knock Horn out this time as he almost did in the first fight!

    Pacquiao will face all the problems he faced the first time around - a younger, bigger, stronger and more motivated opponent.

    As the saying goes-The younger guy is going uphill while the older guy is going down hill. Not an easy thing to admit nor to convince someone about. To make matters worse this young guy is using his head as a third fist with ref approval. Pac should retire before winding up like Bernard did albeit down under in a bilabong.

    If it does happen, I hope it will be shown on free TV like last time.

    Horn's timing was perfect. He is comparatively young and on the up and Pacquiao was the oldest he has ever been. Horn also fought the perfect fight, and anyone who thinks that was Horn's normal style needs to watch his previous fights to see it is nothing of the sort.

    So against other fighters he doesn't lead with his head?
