    He could maybe beat Browne but after seeing Leapai put up a better than expected effort against Parker I can see Leapai sparking him out with a left hook or looping right hand.

    Yeah I wouldn't count Leapai out I guess. He's overachieved in his career for a guy who blocks punches with his chin and to call basic skill wise would be a compliment. Definitely a character.

    That's exactly what I see in him too. Not sure about his chin but he certainly lacks a bit of snap.

    He will most likely get a call for a fight in the UK someone after his ranking and will be KO'd.

    Wouldn't suprise me if Frank Warren gave him a call to fight Dubois for the Commonwealth title or Fury if he stays unbeaten as Fury likes fighting unbeaten yet unproven fighters these days.

    He is likely facing Browne early next year. It's hard to get a good gauge on McKean because he's never really faced a puncher. He's sparred plenty with Leapai over the years and from what I've heard, goes well enough there. Also, for what it's worth Gonzalo Basile has pulled out of his scheduled bout with Browne.

    Yeah it's pretty stupid, let zerafa fight murata for a payday then fight him after, more time to recover and regroup and gives zerafa some cash, horns already a millionaire, how about letting a fellow Aussie get paid.

    The Horn team know they need redemption, and take a punt in fighting Zerafa again. He needs it for his brand, so as to render it an aberration. I don't think anyone is interested in 31yr old Horn building slowly back up again against nobodies, (risking a loss in the process ala Geale) and the Zerafa rematch is probably fairly lucrative in Aussie terms. If he losses the rematch he may as well hang em up.

    No surprise to see another 1 of your prediction be proven totally wrong again,1st you said Horn was going to fight Tszyu this year then with out a shred of evidence apart from hearing it from some random,you made up a story about him facing Geale next which I know for a fact wan't even considered.
    There is so much evidence that shows how little you know about the sport and you will say and make up just about anything to suit your agenda shitting on certain fighters like Horn and aussie boxing in general.

    Well said, I was thinking along the lines of having a good break and not fight anyone other than zerafa AFTER zerafa fights murata. The rematch can be executed at any time, immediate is not smart, A beat down like that needs lots recovery time plus a chance to rectify all the bad habits horn has, technique wise,diet, psychology etc. he will get starched in the rematch, horn gets beat down every fight, someone needs to save horn here.

    Excellent prediction regarding Horn/Zerafa. This man here is one of a few who got that fight right. Incredible prediction.

    Any fool who throws enough darts will hit the board eventually,his record of getting it wrong speaks for itself.
    Who can forget the time he put money on Corcoran to beat Horn,which is 1 of many examples how all of his predictions and everything he says is part of an agenda,he is the definition of a pathetic fan boy and hater

    Smart man. With guys like Horn you throw away a few bucks and eventually lightning will strike in the form of a massive upset. That's gambling 101.

    His defense is to charge in like a billy goat and to put smaller opponents in head locks. He likes to work with John Wayne Parr with his offense. I heard they're working on some knees for the rematch.
