    The Hornet batters Tzsyu at this moment in time imo , we all know Horn is now just fighting for money and whilst you can't fault him for that what we don't want is him ruining a good young prospect ( because despite the hype that's all young Tim is at the moment ) , Tzysu called him out but that was just for publicity I think Young Tim & Co know they ain't ready for the quality of Horn yet , Tim is lucky he's an Australian with a famous father otherwise he'd been slugging his way to a European title shot alongside 20 other blokes of similar talent if he was from up top .

    Yeah Selby still posesses a very good jab as well as moving out of the pocket quickly once landing and 1-2 which virtually won him the fight against Burns but his stamina at 135 remains a concern for me.

    On another note mate , Do you think David Light will be getting it on with the other stand out cruiser from down under Jai opetaia in the coming year ? I see the winner of that possibly making a splash on the world stage .

    Yup, I reckon realisticly by the end of 2020 or early 2021 especially with Light signing with an Austaralian promoter. They'd be siy to keep avoiding each other as a loss won't do too much harm for either fighter and the rewards would be huge for the winner. At this stage I think Opetaia is favourite as Light's defence is still too leaky for me but it's a big fight that will benefit both fighters going forward.

    Yep Jai got messed about in Belgium for months which obviously had to have stunted his growth a tad but he's back home now and has a couple of wins under his belt, lets hope the fight is sooner rather than later .

    Jai beats light IMO, he is very skillful & looks to have added some power plus I'm biased.

    Brilliant performance by Jeff Horn! He's earned a crack at Murata. Let's see this fight in 2020!

    Hornet is negotiating a 6 million dollar fight with Tszyu . His future lies at 154 lb and
    also aiming at shot at WBA Champ Patrick Teixeira.

    160 is his destiny. Murata/Horn will be a fight of great historic importance.

    The one we really be sorry for is Zerafa. It should have been him instead of Butler and
    he would be well compensated 800 k not 120 k he received for Hornet rematch.
