    But he really didn't he was partying eating and enjoying himself. No excuses he has no one to blame but himself.

    Unsure if anyone has added this point as I haven't read every page but (and likely those that commented on it know already), but he doubled the excuse by saying he had a cold in the lead up. Turns out he'd been boozing and at a BBQ before due to the ash cloud and thinking the fight was off haha

    Jeff Horn claiming he didn't have the right shoes for Crawford fight he also said that the Top Rank gym was to hot and his trainer said the fight was stopped too early.

    Jeff Horn after losing to Zerafa said his diet was bad and that he was eating pizza and drinking soft drink.

    he was still better off not saying anything though, it’s pretty pathetic to claim the extra weight was planned then after the fight say “oh yeah I ate myself into oblivion that’s why I lost”. It was an insult to anyone that paid for the event.

    I guess it depends how you see it, he was trained enough to last the full 12 at least. personally I don’t think he should have said he barely trained, after getting people to pay for an event like that. He could have just accepted the loss and proved himself next time out. Its still an excuse anyway, as a professional and champ he didn’t have the discipline to prepare properly. It also doesn’t prove Joshua wouldn’t have won either, any excuse is an attempt to devalue the opponents victory however you slice it.

    Actually it was Wilder in ring it’s just the transformation or manifestation of the Bronze Bomber did not happen for some strange reason. I think the Nevada State Athletic Commission need to investigate.

    You proved nothing. Getting surgery after the fight doesn't prove his arm needed the surgery before the fight at all. You are also comparing a UD loss to a SD win. Quite a sad comparison really

    I think Dave Allen's "I'm a ****ing moron who trains in a fitness first when not downing kebabs and lager" is pretty **** as far as excuses go.
