I dont like Crawford and he is a weight bully for fighting at 135 especially and then 140 but its impossible to imagine that Crawford will lose on US turf to Horn on points or that they will allow Horn to fight as dirty as he did against Pacman back in Australia. So dull boring decision Crawford is my prediction or if Horn gets really aggressive he might get knocked out or pulled by his team. Dont think that Crawford can beat Thurman or Spence at 147 but he can beat the rest because they are mediocre-Porter,Danny Garcia etc.
LOL ok sure and Crawford hardly has any following outside of the his homestate let alone his country. This fight is pretty much about building up and getting more eyes on Crawford via the much better known Horn, who is meant to be nothing but a stepping stone to bigger money fights for Crawford including a potential Lomachenko showdown.
Yeah I can't see Horn winning a points decision over there and even tho I'm picking Horn to win I think Crawford winning a decision is most likely outcome.
I see Horn storming Crawford in the first 3 rounds. If Crawford can survive he should go on to stop Jeff late.
If I really need an excuse I only need to look at the long list you have used since Horn beat Pacquio, where all your pre fight analysis of Horn not being worthy of being in the same ring as Pacquio was made to look foolish.
It's not gonna be easy for both fighters since they are World Champions. Crawford advantages in skills but disadvantages in power and size. I think that we need to see the game plan of both fighters which one is better than the other in this fight. Horn will come straight forward to pressure Crawford from the first bell ring because he's bigger than him.
If Horn beats Crawford, I doubt he would do so clear enough to get the nod. The whole play is designed for Crawford to get the belt, and it takes place in Vegas to make sure there's no way the foreigner leaves the country with it. I already favor Crawford in this, and can't see many scenarios in which Horn wins. Edit: Bob just admitted that ESPN wouldn't be pleased if Crawford lost... so there you have it.
