    Agreed. Spence would wear him down, but I think he'd wear Thurman/Garcia down.

    Jeff Horn is the new Jeff Harding. A dirty cheating version of Jeff Harding. There's no science at all to this guy and that'll be evident when he fights Crawford.
    He beat Pacman and it wasn't close , but that was because he was the bigger boxer , not the better boxer.

    His greatest asset is a huge size advantage , roughhousing and stamina. Without those attributes he'd be goosed. Skill wise he is Marcos Maidana level.

    That doesn't mean he ins't effective at winning cos he is a tough guy to beat , especially for a guy moving up like Crawford , which is why an impressive win for Bud puts him right back up there alongside Loma in my book.
    But thats only if he wins in impressive fashion. Shutting Horn out for example.

    Sometimes a less skilled fighter can beat a much more skilled fighter because of his physical advantages, or his awkward style.

    Jerry Hurd vs Erislandy Lara for example. Horn is a welter weight version of Hurd.
    But at lest Hurd fights cleanly

    The guy literally lunges in with his head forward whilst swinging. It's ****ing pathetic and is more akin to a schoolyard brawl than a pro boxer. :duh

    Lots of boxers have an awkward style, it doesn't tend to cut it at top level though.

    I've tried several variations of that, I tend to be a fanatic when it comes to all things coffee, mocha or cappuccino related, I tried most everything new I come across.

    This is a personal favorite of mine.:D

    You should cold brew your own. I do it and it's fantastic.

    You'll need super coarse coffee grounds.

    And how often does he get hit clean while doing that? Yes, he lunges in head first at times, but there's a little more skill involved than what you're implying. Or a method to his madness shall we say. He usually always has both of his arms up, almost in a momentary Muay Thai stance, that he uses to parry or block, while throwing a feint out to blind his opponent to the lunging head first attack, and keep them from attempting to counter him, meanwhile he's landing his straight right or left hook on them. Also due to his almost incessant head movement, he takes the sting off and rolls with most of what you think is landing flush.

    Horn has more skill than he's being given credit for.

    He made the quarter finals of the Olympics after less than 4 years in the sport.

    That's as far as Errol Spence got.

    How did Dud Crawford go in the Olympics again?

    Oh, that's right. He didn't make the team.

    :lol: Lets not get carried away here. Horn is only 5´9. Hurd is freaking 6´1.
    Horn is an average welterwight. Hurd has no competition.

    It was so LONG! I read most of it. I can't read all of your long winded posts. I would die of old age, so I skimmed.
