    Linares was the man at the weight with several defenses. Horn was the worst of the belt holders and he was brought in to lose by Arum and co. That being said Crawford still performed about impressive as one could(weak belt holder or not) and deserves credit regardless.

    Loma vs Linares wasn’t close to be a draw at the stoppage. Other than the flash knockdown, Jorge was getting outboxed. THOROUGHLY outboxed in some rounds.

    But what do many of you like to do in this circumstance?

    Lol I’m cool with it. He won fair and square but it was far from an easy fight.

    The guy that didn't go life and death and get knocked on his ass by a multiple KO victim was the better win.

    Like I said there was only hype behind Crawford so it's understandable there would be question marks surrounding his level and ability.

    We didn't know the level or standard of Horn or his potential. People's judgement of his ability was and is still til this day shrouded in hate and were minimising his accomplishments due to the controversial victory over Pac.

    We now know Horn's level which is around C level. I believe he has the tools to become a better fighter with a better team behind him to give him more styles and a more strategic gameplan because he is more than capable of fighting on and inside and outside at a high level.

    As for Terrance this win shows he is world level though still far from proving he is the best of the best.

    He needs to fight the real big boys at Welter such as Spence, Thurman, Brook to show that.

    Until then talk of being p4p is premature to put it kindly

    Horn was a made paper champion made by Bob Arum to welcome Crawford at welterweight. Enough said.

    No one is getting use to my posting style because like Horn it is unpredictable aggressive, chaotic tongue in cheek drama with humour and truth mixed in.

    Horn made himself a champion by beating Pacquiao.

    Spence was never even remotely a realistic option for Crawfords debut at welter , so there wasn't a better match-up that could have been made.

    You're basically complaining that a good fight was put together. :drooling:

    LOL ffs even past their best they are better than the midget version of Audley Harrison who took Linares to a MD, and 1$ Crolla

    Not to mention Horn beat freaking Pacman, a million times better win than Linares could dream of

    If Linares was the same size as Wilder, Linares would knock out Joshua.

    Roman Gonzalez's win over Yaegashi is better than that of Bum Crawford and VaSilly Llamachenko. :deal:
