    For what it's worth, I do actually believe Horn can pull this off, I saw the last 6 rounds of it some chicks Facebook video, and Horn was holding his and keeping most of the rounds tight other than the last 2. So if he can avoid being dropped early, and adjust to avoid that right, I think he can nick a decision.

    Erin something, right? Yeah, I remember she had a pretty low-key social media following, just her immediate friends & family, and suddenly there were hundreds of strangers from around the world viewing & commenting on her live stream. :lol: I hope they were all polite and gave plenty of thanks & kudos and other positive reinforcement, and didn't slide into her DM's with too many dick pics to discourage her from doing it again (if she's even attending the rematch).

    Yeah, something like that, and I must admit, I enjoyed her limited commentary far more than Kriegel or Tessitore.:sisi1

    97-93 could be enough for Horn to win a SD here. Zerefa would be wise to put it on Horn and look for a stoppage later in if the fight is even remotely competitive. Not sure that it will be though. Horn took a lot of damage only a few months back and didn't get proper time to recover. I mean.. only a few weeks recovery time before going back in camp? Not a wise idea.

    The hometown advantage did occur to me - but I do think Horn is taking at least a roundtrip onto the canvas or two. So that might balance it out? Unless this is the sort of deal where Zerafa scores a couple of knockdowns and otherwise wins 7-8 rounds clearly, but somehow they give it to Horn 96-92 x3. :shakehead: (as in only give Zerafa the KD rounds as mandated)

    Almost 4 months inbetween that's more than Kovalev had, and he almost lasted 12. Horn can last 10 easily, if he plays it safe.

    Very dramatic fight from start to finish.

    Zerafa established himself early by dropping Horndog in round 2. The Dog of Horns rebounded strongly in round 3 to hurt Zerafa badly.

    He muffed the follow-up assault though by panicking & not landing anything clean. One good, solid follow-up shot & Zerafa would have been tripping. Horndawg was then cut badly at the end of the round which stymied the momentum he had generated from hurting Zerafa earlier on.

    I think the cut bothered Horny far more than the knockdown from the previous round. Cuts can be funny like that.

    Horn was in the fight all the way from my perspective although obviously it unravelled for him at the end & he took a lot of punishment. The fact that the judges had Zerafa ahead wide at the time of the stoppage surprised me. I had it very close.

    Not sure how the rematch goes. Often rematches are a continuation of the previous fight which bodes well for Zerafa who finished strongly.

    I'm not ruling out a strong stand from Horndog though. Brisbane ain't Bendigo.

    I also think with the pull they have in Brisbane that Rushton and Kim have Horn juicing for this rematch I have heard that there is no testing for this fight the same way Danny Green used to operate in Australia.

    I am more pumped for the under card I can't wait to see the glass jawed Brisbane Bum Benny Horn doing his funky chicken routine again. That kid from We're the Millers is going to light him up like a Christmas tree.

    I don't understand Horn. After Pac he goes right for Crawford instead of milking the belt and trying to establish himself. Surprised he hasn't called out Wilder yet. I like the guy but he has illusions of grandeur.

    Why did Horn move up in weight? He was far too small to fight that guy that knocked him out, does he think he can win a world title at that weight?

    Him and his deluded team of morons thought that they could use their Queensland government buddies to put up the money to bring Canelo to Brisbane for a fight. That is why they moved up to 160 to try and get a ranking.
