..."should"? Was there an injury to Bud the rest of us didn't hear of? And some very unlikely dealing between Haymon and Top Rank to secure Danny as his replacement?
Sounds like a good match-up. Garcia is a level up but Horn is big and durable. I think Lego-Head Cherry drops him a least once and gets the better of the exchanges and takes a hard won UD.
I give Horn a chance. It would probably be a close fight. Horn's boxing style seems similar to Calzaghe, though Horn might hit a little harder. It's a style that gives people fits though, even good all around boxers like Garcia. I could see it going either way based on Garcia's power shots and tempo.
Yeah, he does, if a war torn Guerrero and Malignaggi and a shot to hell Rios can go the distance or into the late rounds, Horn who has better defense can easily take his best shots. Also, Horn would never get hit nearly as clean as Rios does. Take your hate goggles off Midnite, you're clearly not seeing Horn in the right light.
It is you who are not seeing him in the right light, the dude blows his fighting style is so LOLZ and his chin is suspect I would actually pick Rios to beat him. I would really love to see this fight between Garcia and Horn as I believe Garcia would deal with him swiftly and take him out early. Horn could not hold the shot like Rios & Guerrero. You will see how bad Horn is when Crawford mops the floor with him.
I'm the only guy on the site that saw that he could beat Pacquiao. And picked him to do so. Maybe his subtle skillset is above the pay grade of many of the posters on here.
Ahem... (to be fair, by a few months later as we approached the fight itself you did publicly warm to a Horn upset being a distinct possibility ...and were more or less alone in that)
Remind me next time you say you were on Gassiev bandwagon from day one to quote you from the Cora RBR. But, to be fair, you warmed to him pretty quickly afterward.
