Pac has almost always been the smaller man throughout his career and has never been too adept at fighting off the back foot. Skeete @ 6"1 is a rangy, awkward WW and his ring generalship, jab and defense have all vastly improved since the Gavin loss. He won't be half as easy to hit for Horn as Pac was (and even then Horn landed very few clean punches). This is a considerably closer fight than you're making out IMO.
Alot of the judges that judge boxing matches judge MMA fights. There are loads of controversial decisions in MMA.
Strange that in all my youtube surfing and watching of MMA matches I neverr came across any controversies if the frequency is identical.
Horn is a filthy cheat and will try and hold the WBO belt hostage making bogus defences in Australia and getting dodgy decisions.
Skeet is worse fighter than Horn and that's pretty bad! Neither one can fight at all, but Arum's judges will give the fight to Horn, the referee will allow Horn to headbutt, hold, wrestle, but Skeet is not in Pac's class. Pac beat Horn, it wasn't even close.....................total disgrace..................boxing is corrupt!
I read that the fight is not set in stone. I would prefer Horn to tackle higher profile opponents tbh. Somebody like Vargas for example to gauge where he truly stands.
Skeete is awesome at beating subpar British level guys, clearly Horn is far above British level and would pulverize the likes of Gavin, Singleton and yes as much as I like him, even Eggington. And he's going to bounce this ugly ass Pete Townshend looking Mayweather wannabe's head off the canvass like a basketball.
Horn has already lost to Pac, Pac beat the hell out of him, the ref almost stopped the fight. Pac won, the fight was corrupt. I suspect Bob Arum had something to do with it.................
