Summer in Brisbane, strongly rumored. WBA middleweight title at stake, Brant's second defense...and sophomore outing in the division for Horn (rated WBO #9, and current WBA Oceanic middleweight champion). Brant has a 3½ height and 2½" reach advantage. Horn in the pros has logged 16 more rounds.
Don't know why Horn thinks that he can compete at 160 he won't have a size advantage and will have a harder time wrestling and head butting.
He was a big welter, but yeah, don't think his frame is quite large enough to go tussling with natural 160's. Junior middle was an ideal compromise for him, IMO...and he's ranked there by multiple bodies. Would've been the smart move to stay there.
Horn and his team are deluded morons they think they can beat Brant and become mandatory for Canelo. If Brant goes to Brisbane for the fight the ANBF will do everything in their power to screw him and stack the deck against him. Horn knows all he has to do is survive to the final bell and he will get the decision.
If that happens it will just lead to a severe beating from Canelo (perhaps...or Jacobs, either way). I guess it makes sense financially but Horn is going to get badly hurt if he (legit or no) defeats Brant.
Really hope this fight happen's . About time Horn fight's someone bigger than Pacquiao & Cawford . Can't cee Horn beating Brant , but ill pay to watch that happen ,Fing Finger's Crossed lol's ... Wonder why they call him horndog ".
He won't get past Brant, he will get stopped. Team Horn think that Brant can't punch but at 160 he will have more than enough to hurt Horn, also Brant is a much better boxer than Horn he will beat him up and stop him in mid to late rounds.
For sure aussie think HORN is da best fighter in Australia , for me wish da time was faster can't wait for da Aussie to cee that Horn is just a blowing up convict Australian paperboy champ .
Horn is once crazy(deluded) mother****er. And I think he could actually beat Brant. Brant throws a lot of punches, but he isn't really good at anything besides that.
If Horn thinks he is such a big bad ass why doesn't he just get his team to get the money together and bring GGG out to Brisbane for a fight. If he wins Canelo will have no choice but to fight him LOL. I would pay good money to see that.
