I dont agree with you, but I feel like they make talk about horn the same way they talk about wepner against ali. So whether you're trolling or not you may have a point in the sense that he will be talked about . Even though he won controversially he most likely will be remembered as a limited journeyman who willed his way to a moral victory - whether or not you agree with the decision or not the official verdict still stands as a win in his favour. His rough house tactics made the figut close but that's really where any knowledgable boxing fans admiration stops.
Refresh my memory MP. When did the Soliman kid get popped for PED's, in which fight ? It was obvious the Soliman kid was roiding his entire career.
It was in the fight with Felix Sturm I believe he was sparring the Sturm clone Dales Berries in the lead up and they claimed they bought some energy drink from 7/11 that made him test positive. Then when he got back to Australia he claimed to have tested his B sample in a private lab which was most likely in Berries garage and told his journo mate Grant Lea Kieza it came back negative and to run the story in the Daily Telegraph. We all know the Solibum kid was juicing for most of his career as he had a bum record of 12-6 at the beginning of his career then went on an unbeaten run in 20 plus fights. Not because he had any skill but because the gear had given him a good gas tank.
Jeff Horn is a glass jawed cheating bum. They replayed his loss to Zerafa the other week on foxtel, I recorded it and have watched the 8th and 9th rounds many times. It was pure comedy gold seeing Horn do the funky chicken and his Sensei Glen Rushton refusing to stop the fight.
I can't believe this stupid thread has been brought back here again. Jeff Horn is done! He's now a Grade C fighter.
Er, whooped his ass is a little overboard. He did however beat Pac fair & square IMO...at least within the rules (or, their interpretation by the given third-man-in-the-ring that night. Had warnings/deductions been handed out they would've been fair...but they weren't, so he's fine, so legit W).
Guys, let the Aussies have this. I mean, they're Australians. They lost a war to miniature ostriches for Christ's sake. They need everything they can get.
Emu not ostrich I went to Australia once and stayed at a cattle station, there was this Emu that used to wander about the place terrorising the sweedish traveller girls Every now and then this wise old aboriginal came along and put a cowboy hat on the emus head and it always sat straight down and went to sleep True story
Ha ha ha ha. That's right I remember now. Very funny stuff from the Soliman's kid. Remember when he ducked GGG for all the marbles at middleweight to hand pick a completely washed up Jermain Taylor and proceeded to get schooled/embarrassed in the fight. Faked some leg injury during the fight to try and save face. This was the first fight of his legendary 3 fight plan for world domination.
LOL yes it was classic stuff from the Soliman kid. Then he said he had knee surgery but was then seen running and working out a couple weeks later.
