    Horn is not a middleweight and I'll be surprised if he goes past 7. Zerafa TKO

    Do you speak for all Horn fans? You just made an excuse on your next post saying that Horn overlooked Zerafa.

    Markets have flipped around from last time; Horn an underdog by about equal measure to what Zerafa was:

    LOL it's not an excuse it's a fact that everybody knows including simpletons like yourself but there can't be and isn't any excuses when you lose in dominant fashion the way Horn did to Zerefa,who was clearly the better man on the night.
    Instead of hiding from it Horn exercised his rematch clause straight away and has mentioned ways he can improve from 1st fight with things like better nutrition etc.,whether Horn just had a bad day at the office and he can overcome losing the way he did remains to be seen.
    For all the things that Horn can be criticized for,his willingness to take on the toughest challengers definitely isn't 1 of them,although it could be said they haven't ended up looking like smart choices.
    He could have milked that win over Pacquio far more then he did and tried keeping his unbeaten record fighting safety 1st options which so many champions and other fighters do these days,avoiding fighting top P4P fighters like Crawford or this potentially career defining Zerefa rematch when could and should of moved back down in weight

    Horn is always relaxed, testament to his mental strength, i dont think zerafa will feel much pressure as he is super confident of victory, they know horn has no business at middle, they know hes damaged goods also. The dwight richie thing may play a role here and work for or against zerafa. I hope someones looking out for horns health here.

    Just checked out timestamps on Ms. Hilson's video in August... the main event got underway at 8:52am EST, and Zerafa scored the kayo half an hour later, just shy of 9:30am EST.

    Brisbane, however, is a thousand miles (1500km) northeast of Bendigo, and in a different time zone.

    That one as I recall was also supposed to be on very early in the morning, with ring walks projected to happen around 6 or 7 am EST. Just saying, while it probably is smart to err on the side of tuning in a bit earlier, these Aussie cards often run longer (and main events start later) than expected. If you tune in at like quarter of eight - an hour before Horn vs. Zerafa I started, in a time zone one hour behind - there's a good chance you'll have missed the fight by a couple of hours - but also just as good a chance that you'll have foregone waiting around like a sucker, unlike any "better safe than sorry" early birds tuning in at 5am EST. :nusenuse:

    This site claims a ring walk start time of 9pm local time in Brisbane, with the bell ringing at 9:15pm (aka 6:15am EST...so a bit under twelve hours from now) but I'm not sure where they gleaned their information from or how authoritative they can be considered:

    Agree completely with the post above of Don't be Scared.
    Horn has no chance in the rematch IMO but the guy is a ****ing warrior .
    If every fighter has his mentality each weight class would only have 1 champion .

    He did milk the crooked win over Pac and still does to this day he also had no choice but to fight Crawford. Horn has always been an overrated arrogant bum and Zerafa exposed that quite easily.

    Horn actually looks like he tried to get the weight in the gym instead of McDonald's like last time. Still looks much smaller seeming Zerafa was clearly dehydrated to the max.

    Zerafa has one thing right Rushton is a moron and Horn could do alot worse than to unload him..

    Yep... Welcome to Qld, they got their own time zone, no combat sports comission.. Could go on n on...
    Anyway, yeah, talk about confusing...
    I’ve just looked n fox sports aust saying main event approx 10.15 AEDT which is 9.15pm local time (GMT +10) so looks like times in origional post could be correct...
    B bit sh1t to wake up at 5am n missed it IF interested....
    Theirs no guarantee times I found are correct tho...
    Basically 7 fight card, 5 bouts on TV from 6pm local time so the 9.15pm local time (GMT +10) appears correct
    Which is 10.15pm Aust Eastern Daylight Savings Time (+11)

    If not listed on sky or DAZN Canada then prob doesnt matter...

    So yeah, for 6mths of the year the timezones change during summer, MEGA confusing!!!!!
    Im normally pretty good with timezones however AJ vs Ruiz 2 I thought was 5pm Sunday here, Turns out it was 7am!!!!!!
    Turns out I didnt miss much luckily...

    Cant see it doing huge numbers here (I dont know if ANY event in Aust PPV does huge numbers????)
    unless alot of venues have purchased tonights card... I can see Zeraffa fans n few of Horns fans purchasing.
    Just alot of money down here, Costs around $50/$60 min a month just to have pay TV then the $50 PPV after that.... With so many PPVs lately down here???
    1st Zeraffa v Horn
    Tszyu jr’s had 2 in 4/5mths
    Parr v Mundine
    Add both h/weight title fights, Canelo vs Kovelev and few other overseas PPVs I cant recall off head, very expensive this time of year????

    First of all, how did Pac got into this discussion?
    However, now that you mentioned Pacman, Between Pacman and Horn, Pacman won all his fights after getting Robbed in Australia whereas Horn Lost all his bouts by TKOs ! :D What a shame !!! :eek::eek:Evidently not a real Champion. Get that ?o_O

    Sceduled to be around 22 degrees celcius n 65% humidity come fight time....
    Could possibly be in the local Horns favour as humidity can be a killer up there this time of year if not used to it... Indoor stadium may not matter??? I dont even know where it being held to b honest....
    May or maynot b the reason for scheduled 10rds n not 12??
