Tim Tszyu isn't very good at all. Horn should handle him. Horn UD. Zerafa was probably the bigger (literally) task for him and he handled him super well in the rematch after making some adjustments.
He is good, but hardly a world class. Would be lucky to be a world champion in the future. His most memorable match for me is still the infamous Stevie Ongen.
Exactly what I was thinking. Dude is a totally worthless poster. Sole purpose on here is to slob Clenelo off.
Serge's Interesting Fact of the Day: Tim Tszyu is the son of the legendary former unified light-welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu
Bull****. Horn won the second fight. It wasn't even a robbery. If you guys dislike Horn, fine. But saying he won the second fight because it was on home soil is ridiculous.
Midnite hates Horn. Like really, really hates him. Only reason he cares about Tzyu is because he is hoping to see Horn loose. You should read the epic meltdown Mindnite had in the Horn-Zerafa II RBR. He did not like the outcome.
Horn probably wouldn't have won had it not been for the ref pausing the action to have the doctor look at the cut(ostensibly at least). Horn was badly hurt and that clearly allowed him to recover enough to time and catch a wild Zerafa. As always Horn used illegal tactics to get the win, aid from the ref and two of the cards were definitely cooked. Let's be honest. Horn may have won but it was not without some hometurf advantage.
You have home turf advantage all the time. Tszyu also got some really, really favorable ref decisions in the past and cards as well. Wade Ryan fight for example. I thought Ryan beat Tszyu.
Horn fights dirty and he's limited skill-wise but let's not overreact here. He beat Pac fair and square. He beat Zerafa 2 fair and square. I only saw 5 fights of him (Zerafa 1+2, Pac, Crawford and Mundine) and i can't say he's worse than some US guys. I'm 100% objective here and Tszyu isn't very good. I think Horn will beat him. Even without any home advantage in Queensland.
Totally disagree. Pac beats and probably stops Horn anywhere else in the world in a dominant one sided fashion. Even with all of Horns illegal tactics, the ref not doing his job - Pac still did more than enough to win. We saw what happened to Horn when he fights a top fighter outside of his home territory. He was completely and utterly humiliated. Arum definitely wasn't upset about how Pac got done dirty because he saw it as an easy and surefire way to put a belt on one of his younger fighters. It's possible that Horn will be too experienced for the young Tszyu here. Who wont only be fighting Horn but the refs, judges etc. The biggest question here for me is whether or not Horns tactics will offset his rhythm or not. If he can deal with it then he wins this fight, probably by stoppage. But it definitely is a big step up. Totally see why a lot of guys are going with Horn here.
