    Goodman is overrated he fights like a jittery amateur against a 35 year old Uber driver. I reckon my man Sokolov from Viking Quest beats him.

    Wow what a poor sloppy performance from Nikita. I think he has been exposed badly. Horn actually hurt him in that last round. Overall poor card from No Limit tonight I don’t think Nikita is worthy of headlining. Lets get a rematch on the under card of Gallen v Hodges LOL

    What i always thought, Nik using his last name for fame and dollars and doesn't deserve main event.
    Tim did it with the hard yards on prelims and non televised cards. Nik is riding off the glory Tszyu name.

    Great courage by Ben Horn in there.

    He never really had that weak a chin, he just punched himself out in a few of those early fights but they seemed to have fixed that.

    Nikita good value but so much to work on. I dont think he was really all that hurt towards the end, just a bit tired and took a few clean in a row. Should of held or given ground to reset but wanted to slug his way out of it. He was a sucker for those uppercuts and was telegraphing his shots to much.
    Good body work but would have liked to see him used the left a bit more to the liver side. Horn covered up and smothered his work a bit once he saw he was mostly loading up on the right side . Still took a lot and probably will have a bit of blood in the urine tomorrow.

    Crap card but I think the crowd would have enjoyed that unexpected rumble for the main event.

    No Limit is not helping Nikita here. He needs to gradually build himself up like his bro did. Having him headlining from the beginning puts a lot of pressure on him to perform or fight someone he isn't ready for.

    Worrying times for Nikita I think. Horn had him properly rocked. Huge credit to Ben Horn. Nobody gave him a chance, well done.

    Yeah. Although... Horn got away with a lot of cheap and outright illegal tactics. Holding/hitting, pulling Tszyus head down into punches. Doesn't look like Tszyu is cut from the same cloth as his brother and dad though.

    I am expecting more because of the hype surrounding him and the non stop promo's telling us how good he is. He couldn't even stop a bloke with a losing record who has been KO'd twice. I agree with @WhataRock put him on the under card next time, they are not doing him any favours by making him the main event.

    It seems that Cobra Kai Rushton has taught Ben Horn the way of the fist. He was like one of those nerdy kids in Cobra Kai who got a Mohawk and became a bad ass.

    What's the deal with that bum Jeff Horn? Probably won't be long before he returns from his hiatus to con the Aussie boxing public again. Ben on the other hand is done. Relegated to total loser journeyman status, he's lost his last 3 fights and has nothing but the Horn name going for him.
