    Well you know, it wasn't very hard for Loma, he got knocked down but other than that he won every round bar one... also you know... a torn Labrum in his shoulder... which needed surgery just a little detail.

    Did you see the scorecards going into the round he stopped him? It was a draw on all the judges scorecards, I don’t know what you was watching. Also the shoulder ain’t an excuse, Loma didn’t use it as an excuse and I won’t either.

    This was during a transitional period from 140 -147 , and its 3 days before Christmas. Fighters gain weight during the down time , whats the big deal?

    Nobody cutting that amount of weight will have an advantage on the night.

    The Linares/Loma fight was more competitive than the Crawford/Horn fight.

    However Linares is a good step up in quality than Horn.

    So Crawfords demolition of Horn was miles more convincing than Loma's beating of Linares. But as I said Linares is a level above Horn at least. Its an unfair comparison to make.

    You rate Horny over McDonnell? :lol: That's a good one for a crappy work Monday.

    McD is a rock solid bantam that faced several top fighters spreading over multiple years in the bantam top5. He could've picked up a loss or two in the process, but faced and finished the fight vs. top boxers and punchers, and was swapped like a 3-legged fly that spent too much time out in the Sun. How does Horn compare with zero legit win in his resume? :lol:

    Linares is a legit win, but that was also legitimately even for most of the time, knockdowns traded and all. Excellent result, but not a 90 second statement vs. a legit top3 division player.

    No, your just butt hurt. Always crying when your guys loses. This has been a trend by you and guys like you for some time now. I knew you guys would pull this type of nonsense, not because I'm a prophet but, because you guys are predictable.

    Linares, for me. Wonderful performance by Bud all the same though and I'm happy to see him at WW

    If you're a boxrec warrior casual then its Horn. But ask anyone who really knows this sport & they'd laugh in your face. If JH & JL were the same size Linares would use him as target practice! Linares is a rolls Royce, an offensive master, a beautifully balanced fighter, graceful, athletic, highly skillful operator.. his only real Achilles heel is he can be vulnerable! Horn is Sakio Bika mark II.. A 4×4 with bull bars on & spurs on his wheels!

    Loma did it in 12 fights with a smashed shoulder against a clearly bigger man! JL was Ring champ & on a run! Horn is a one hit wonder! That is p4p **** if ever I saw it!!! TC is not walking around at 142lbs.. Loma is!! Its obviously Loma with his tiny arms...

    No ones telling me that JH beating* that MP makes that a better win for TC! I mean on paper JH would be a better scalp than Errol Spence for TC too then right?

    :lol: You are ****ing kidding me?! Stop embarrassing yourself..

    Put some context on those two wins first then ask yourself that question again box rec clown! Boxrec is not an indicator of skill & provides no context. I.E Do you think Denis Lebedev is 'better' than Sergio Martinez???

    James5000 riding that Danny Williams express train to boxrec station platform thick as ****... LOL Who on Carl Frochs' resume is better than Mike Tyson!!! Doh...

    Wrong! You picked against Crawford simply because you think he's a thug and don't like him and used your heart instead of your head, which usually gets you in trouble. You let your irrational hate of Crawford overwhelm common sense and it blew up in your face period. And instead of admitting you were wrong like a man you continue to make excuses and continue to hate. Anyone with basic boxing knowledge can see that Crawford is very skilled and great fighter and was going to put a demolition job on Horn. The guy can switch stances at will has a good ring IQ is accurate has good defense a jab and good footwork.

    Horn is a tough crude brawler who likes to foul and rough people up, if you can stand up to that then he has no plan B, atleast not against a guy like Crawford. Me and others tried telling you that Crawford isn't like Pac he's prime and he's not going to simply let Horn foul him and rough him up and not do anything about it. He's arguably the meanest fighter in the sport who has more than a few screws loose. He's a vicious mother****er who loved every second of his time in the ring with Horn and he loved inflicting punishment on Horn. This was one of the easiest fights to call in a long time. There was never any doubt as to who the winner would be, there's levels to this game and Crawford is 2 levels above Horn. I hope you learned your lesson and come to your senses and realize that Crawford is the truth, but you probably didn't and will continue to hate on and keep picking against him and look like a fool doing so.

    “The judges had it a DRAW, doe!”


    ‘Judges’ also had GGG vs Canelo a draw and Lewis vs Holyfield 1. :wanker

    It wasn’t a bad score, I was sat with some hardcore fans watching them fight and we all had it close, I gave Loma more rounds than the judges but Linares was in it.

    GGG vs Canelo was a draw to me, Holyfield vs Lewis was one sided, very bad score cards on that fight, neither of those two fights compare to that one.

    smack bang on the money.... Everyone is getting used to Sephiroths posting style and patterns this is pretty much all he does on this site.

    Crawford aint a nice guy, not even close in fact. I personally think he is a piece of ****, I like Horn he seems a very decent and simple kinda guy. However anyone who has any decent knowledge of the sport knew that Crawford was gonna demolish him. We all knew that the skill gap is massive between them both, we all knew that Manny was shot to pieces when he got ragdolled by Horn. We all knew that Horn was gonna eat punches all night.

    What happened on fight night was no less than I predicted, and that was Horn is gonna eat punches like skittles and get stopped in the 2nd half of the fight. Fair play to Horn he gave everything he had, was very brave, tough and had huge heart but he was completely schooled
