    being stopped by Zerafa, I saw the complete size difference between Zerafa and Horn. Horn jumps up in weight and fights a 500 year old Mundine, kos him, and then gets punished by Zerafa. You guys remember Zerafa. He is the guy who Quillin put on a stretcher and a guy who kinda recently lost to a smaller Kell Brook. Horn went in there trying to slug with a guy (Zerafa) who likes to slug instead of boxing him like Brook did.

    Does Horn have boxing skills? No.

    He is a come forward guy who was used to fighting smaller WWs and trying to out muscle guys, fight a little dirty and punch and clinch Still he looked a whole weight class or two smaller than Zerafa. Zerafa has a jab but he'd rather come forward and throw the jab and hard right hand. His style was perfect against Horn. Brook easily boxed Zerafa and Quillin just outslugged Zerafa. Horn tried this but he wasn't going to be able to keep up the pace against a guy who is aggressive like him.

    Horns career may be over. He has no future at MW. He should've tried to fight at SWW. But those guys could fight at SWW too. He's made enough money. It's only going to get worse. He took a beating in the Crawford fight, and he took a beating in this fight. It might be time to hang it up.

    Zerafa can box quite well. He timed that right hand perfectly at times.
    And Horn is quite capable himself. Cleqrly limited, but very ackward.

    It just showed what we already knew, without the ref and officials helping him Horn is just average . Horn's resume consisted mostly of fighters over 35 years old well past their best. Then Crawford dominated him but you can say okay that was Crawford he is one of the P4P best. With all due respect to Zerafa he is not elite but he is a decent fighter in his prime and he was able to deal with Horn easily. It just goes to show how cherry picking can fool the average fan but not those of us who know what they are watching.

    Yep I have to admit that I loved seeing Horn get battered. I am glad his corner was too dumb to stop it and was happy to see Zerafa punish the smug douche bag even more.

    After all the talk from Horn saying he was going to bring Canelo or GGG to Australia for a fight after he beats Murata and he couldn't even get past Zerafa LOL

    hahaha talk about Arrogance now he'll be begging Mundine for a cash out no disrespect to Zerafa but he is still green not quite world level middleweight in my opinion the beatings will only get worse from now on, as i told the Horn lap jockeys he hasnt proven he got over the boxing lesson he got Crawford and it was evident in Bendigo

    You know I saw Horn on loads of Joseph Parker undercards before he got wider exposure and I was never impressed, seeing this smug guy walk out to annoying buzzing noise. Every fight was the same, crude guy with poor defence but he always had a lot of size in his opponents who were usually old "half names" you sort of remembered from 10 years ago.

    But Horn had backing in Australia which is a market starved of top level boxers right now, he sold tickets and that was enough for the Pacquiao fight.

    They robbed old man Pac blind and before long he fought Crawford, I knew Crawford was going to do serious damage but they didn't listen.

    People say Joshua has a fake nice guy persona but Jesus let me introduce jeff "smug" horn.

    Glad he took another pasting and hoping for more to come.

    Horn is garbage. He has huge size advantage over the LWs and that’s why he wins. Add to that the fouling and hometown decisions and everything is stacked in his favour.

    Horn couldn’t do **** to Crawford cos Crawford is equally the same size as him. And the rest of his opponents who is a true WW or above.

    The guy has a style suitable against smaller guys if the ref allows it. Brb windmill moving head, land or don’t land and fall on top of the opponent, lean on them, grab them etc.

    Guy should be disqualified in most of his fights.

    Manny would be knocked out by a lot of middleweights too though.
