    With the way Crawford has been hyped, and deservedly so, he should have no problem going to Australia and winning a clear, no-doubt-about-it decision, that isn't even in the ballpark of close, that there's no way he could lose a decision. If he's as good as everybody says he is, then he should have no problem wiping the floor with Horn, knocking him out or down multiple times, or winning every round clearly en route to a shutout decision.

    Horn is the Champ. Bud is new to the division and is a challenger in the division. Why would Horn the Champ have to fight Bud in Nebraska or even in the States? Manny Pacquiao arguably the biggest name in the sport went to Australia why can't Bud go to Australia? If Bud wants to be champ at welter, will he take a risk to get the title fight?

    Go into the champ's backyard and take his title Bud. If you're the #1 P4P fighter that should be easy right? All this "it needs to happen in America" gets me thinking that a lot of Crawford fans are worried about him losing to Horn, due to the size advantage mainly, giving no respect to Horn's ability to compete with Bud.

    Personally, I think this is going to be a tough, close fight that could go either way that will probably produce another close controversial decision. No one thought Horn had any chance for Pacquiao, and regardless of who you thought won, he did fight well. Bud has been fighting smaller guys, and he's had a great run, but fighting at welterweight is a whole different ballgame. Fighting Horn in Australia will not be easy for Bud, and I think it has less to do with the judges than it has to do with the comfort Horn has of fighting in Australia. If it does happen in America, would it happen in Vegas or Nebraska? If Bud agrees to fight him in Australia, then he has an opportunity to do what Manny Pacquiao couldn't do. This should be a good fight wherever it happens, but it sounds to me like a lot of fans don't expect Bud to have an easy time with Horn or else they wouldn't be so worried about it being in Australia.

    Why? Horn got what Crawford wants, Crawford needs to go and get it. Its not like Crawford is a PPV star , he is the new Ward, brilliant but not popular. A fight in the US with Horn will attract a a few thousand to the fight and a few PPVs, A fight in Aus will attract 20 thousand + and a hell of a lot more PPV. Crawford probably wins here but for FFS grow some minerals and travel to the champs backyard. When you got the belt then you can invite them to come to yours. The only hometown advantage Horn got in the Pac fight was the crowd. None of the judges were Australian and neither was the ref. The ref even told Horn after the 9th that he had to show him something or he was stopping the fight, and no way in hell is Arum going to fix a fight against Pac who has turned over a billion in revenue during his career so I can't see that being a reason he lost the fight.

    Crawford will blitzkrieg through the entire 147 division, let alone Jeff Horn.

    Calling it now, Crawford will be the undisputed WW champion.

    Corcoran to Crawford seems like a perfectly logical progression to me. Practically a lateral step innit.

    No, its Pacquiao to Crawford, with a stay busy fight inbetween, against a decent sized Light Middleweight that he barely made weight for or had a full training camp for, he half assed it, and still shutout and stopped Corcoran. Does Indongo or John Molina Jr. adequately prepare Crawford for Horn a massive violent WW is the real question.:deal:

    Look at it this way - Lomachenko would have had no problem against Salido in a fair fight on neutral ground. Instead he fought him in Texas with a weight disadvantage and a corrupt ref and he lost. **** like that matters.

    That being said, I expect Crawford to win, but not as easily as he would have in the states.

    Horn is the big bow wow of the welterweight division.

    The big woof woof.

    The big woof woof will dig a hole & bury Dud Crawford.

    Bury him like a bone.
