Anthony Mundine vs. Jeffrey Christopher Horn, Jr.

November 30th @ Brisbane Stadium, with a stipulated 156½lb catchweight.

There is $8 million in the kitty to be split between them (exact distribution as yet unrevealed), with career welterweight Horn standing to pocket an extra 1 million (from Mundine's purse) if Choc misses the contracted weight limit.

This is expected to surpass the Aussie PPV record of 200k buys, set by Mundine vs. Danny Green a dozen years ago.

Mundine is a 3/1 underdog.

 

This is kind of win-win for Choc haters; either he comes in over 71kg and has to let Jeff pry a cool million from his grubby mitts, and probably loses a wide decision anyway...or he comes in drained and gets KTFO.

 

Horn stylistically bears some passing similarities to each of the following:

Danny Green (beat Mundine...officially just the once but arguably twice)
Daniel Geale (see above)
Garth Wood (like the pair above split a pair with Mundine, except he knocked him out and then lost the rematch)
Tommy Browne (started out well and hurt Mundine, winning the first round on all 3 judges' cards as well as mine, CST's, and everybody's in the RBR...but succumbed the next round after blowing his wad...and is a war-torn blown-up FEATHERWEIGHT)

...except that Horn is a) younger than any of them were as of when they fought Mundine and b) clearly better than any of them p4p (except maybe Geale).

 

Yes, this humble school-teacher whom you somehow manage to reckon the scumbag in this match-up.

 

True, but now that you've brought it up, Bud fans are going to be insufferable after this...

"Crawford's so good he dismantled a big strong natural welter that was good enough to beat Pac beforehand and then even after Bud thrashed him move up and beat a natural super middleweight!"
