I think that this is a good match up for both guys at this point in their careers. I think it might be a decent scrap while it lasts. I see Horn coming out with his herky jerky style and trying to do some rough housing making the first few rounds interesting before Rosado over powers him out box's him and has Horn doing the funky chicken in the 5th round before stopping him. TKO 5 for Rosado. Thoughts on this match up?
Hey, if I were Jeff Horn, I know one thing for sure, I'd much rather be beaten up by a big strong Middleweight, than to get beaten senseless, dropped 4 times and have my ass handed to me by tiny WW Joshua Clottey, who went on to lose 10 out of 10 rounds to Gabe Rosado, like Ol' Choc.
Rosado does him in. Underrated roadwarrior vs. a disgraceful cheat. Would be an absolute mauling tbh.
I've got no love lost for Mundine. But he's a far better boxing talent than the cheating school teacher. a prime Mundine would give him a boxing lesson.
Old shot fighters don't go on and take the 0 of top Belorussian fighter Rabchenko, and then move all the way up to LHW and come within a hair of beating a CW. Also, Clottey was just as shot as Mundine was, and Horn and Zerafa are both prime as prime gets.
Nice little two man circle jerk you guys have going lately. Mundine is trash, and a joke. Far bigger a joke than Horn, who at the very least has a win over Pacquaio, instead of being beaten senseless by Pac leftovers.
Horn doesn't have a legitimate win over Pac. The guy boxed at a fairly high level for the better part of 2 decades, has won world titles in multiple weight classes and has beaten the who's who of his scene. Sure he's inconsistent, has some hilarious and embarrassing KO's but he has some nice boxing skills is capable of s good showing when he's on. How do you think Horn would do with a prime Kessler? I don't like Mundine at all but he's a better boxer than Horn. Just telling it how it is.
Also Mundine is totally drained at 154. Anyone knows this. He can fight at 160-168 comfortably but going through the weight classes back and forth especially while an old man is not healthy. Horn and his scumbag team didn't think that was enough of an advantage so they had drain him further by having a rehydration clause lmao.
Keep telling yourself that. It doesn't change the reality that at the very least, it wasn't an easy fight or an easy fight to score, and even if you stretched reality to its absolute breaking point, it couldn't be seen as a clean Pacquiao win. He'd lose, just like Mundine did, and probably by KO, but in all likelihood, wouldn't be knocked unconscious by Sven ****ing Ottke and get his **** knocked loose and sent into a momentary acid trip by Garth Wood. Great, Jeff has lost to a P4P top 2 fighter, and got KO'd by a Middleweight in his first match at Middleweight. Let's see how Jeff bounces back before we start making proclamations. And try watching some Jeff Horn matches, it seems you haven't seen any of the ones where he puts on masterclasses. You're underrating his skill level big time. He's like Robert Guerrero, he's a well schooled talented boxer, who ignorantly chooses lately to go the balls to the wall route.
If the fight was in Brisbane Horn might cut Rosado with a headbutt and make it to the halfway point before Rosado has him doing the funky chicken dance.
This topic is not about Mundine. Poor old Choc has been well past his best for over a decade. What round you reckon Rosado gets to Horn?
