    Horn is really having to overcome a lot leading up to this fight.

    - Fight date pushed back
    - Losing hundreds of thousands of dollars (potentially millions) from Main Event PPV Australia due to new fight date
    - Involved in car crash (neck jolted back)
    - Unwarranted trash talk from Crawfords camp
    - Face cut open in final sparring day
    - Having to use horsehair gloves (gloves he's never worn before) because the CHALLENGER is being allowed to dictate terms due to Top Rank running the show.
    - Being given a tin shed of a gym to finish his last week of traning camp in after flying half way across the world. the gym temperature is 104 degrees fahrenheit, and in middle of the desert.

    Very far from a smooth training camp, and Horn still hasn't complained once.
    You Americans could learn a thing or two from Australians. I think Horn would of been better suited in the 50's when they fought every 3 weeks, 15-20 times a year. Not like this day in age when a fighter pushes back a fight 3 months because he grazed the top of his hand in training.

    On one hand you're complaining about Crawford pushing back the fight due to an injury, but on the other you're crying about Horn having to overcome trash talk.

    Hopefully Jeff is from NT then as it sounds like every place I stopped at on the stuart highway, except maybe a little cooler! She'll be right

    Isn't his trainer a multimillionaire? They could easily sort themselves out.

    Anyway, tin shed for a tinpot fighter. Makes sense tbf.

    I think that was thrown in there just to deepen the colours, obviously it’s the least of Horns concerns. I hope anyway lol

    None of this will make a difference when Terrence gets that WBO strap. I like Horn’s story and I felt for him when the Pinoy fans attached him and his pregnant wife.

    I think Crawford has way more upside and will be the main rival to Spence down the line.

    Horn Ducked Spence?

    I'll delete my account if you can show any proof of that at all. Are we allowed to just make up stuff because it's the internet?

    Couple points of contention.

    1. Horn was the one who initiated all the trash talking.
    2. Car crash and being cut in sparring is nothing to do with anything Crawford did.
    3.the first date was poorly advertised, the official broadcasting was announced so close to the date.
    4. He got what he negotiated he needs blame his manager for the deal he got.
    5. This guy isn’t a prisoner he can train wherever he wants.

    The most ridiculous statement is your last one.

    alright I will recant my statement, I was wrong. Horn didn’t fight Spence because he wanted to fight for the title if Brook vacated, which sounds fair to me.
