    Don't forget he was given instructions to ''believe in yourself''

    Manny Steward would have been proud.

    He looks fine, lucid and clear.

    If you see how he looked after his last two fights you wouldn't be saying that he looks like a soldier of war here.

    I think all the things he had to deal with leading up to the fight drained him from being 100% if we're being honest.

    Effectively he had two training camps, due to Crawthug delaying the fight which = overtraining.

    Having to do most of the second camp during a 130 degree heat wave without any air conditioning whatsoever is bound to take a lot of out of anybody let alone a man doing hour long sessions of intense anaerobic and aerobic training. Heat related deaths are common during those high temperatures.

    The horrific car accident which he barely survived from and most likely had delayed concussion, whiplash which he probably brushed off as stress in his mind.

    You tie in all those factors and it would stand to reason that he would feel off.

    All those factors are excuses. I bet you wouldn’t be talking about them if ‘Crawthug’ used them. Cry me a river horn, there was no way in hell this guy could have beaten Crawford.

    He got an excellent win over manny and credit to him, when people tried to downplay the win saying he cheated, the ref and judges were biased I said nope I don’t wanna hear it. So same thing to him now, you took the fight And got your ass whooped it happens when you fight the top p4p fighters.

    This. Crawford beat Horn like he owned him. I think Crawford could've ended it earlier, but was clearly having too much fun beating Horn around the ring.

    Getting punched hard in the face repeatedly will make anyone feel like they are having an off night.

    I think some fighters have to live in a world of denial after a tough loss, it's the only way they can justify stepping into the ring again. You are literally being beaten up for a living so you have to lie to yourself that something was "off" or "wrong". You'd need to be a masochist to step in to the ring and expect to get an ass kicking, either that or desperate, so some fighters lie to themselves.

    All boxers say this crap when they get their ass kicked.

    I’m sure if he won, he’d say he was feeling great.

    You're only as 'On ' as your opponent allows , styles make fights etc etc the Hornet showed exactly the n uts we've all grown to expect of him a fine example of what I've learnt over 40 plus years of watching Aussies , no one should be slating this kid imo he just got beaten by the better man on the night .....that's all she wrote .

    What douchebag. He's like a drunk in denial that he has no talent. Off or on would not have change the massive gap in skill dumbass.

    Isn't that like stating the obvious, thus why even mention it? It just shows ppl you really are like what you sound, a whiny ***** ass loser who cannot accept the truth. Kind of like getting a robbery and then claiming it as a win from all your own hardwork, not.
