Horn-Corcoran is Horn's step to another huge fight

You predicted over and over Manny Pacquiao would absolutely destroy Jeff Horn.

Horn wins and the best you can do to weasel away from your prediction is claim Pacquiao was past it.

Heard it all before hater.

 

Jeff Horn attended self defence classes with his current coach Glen Rushton as a schoolboy. He reverted specifically to boxing training, which Rushton also taught, in 2006. Horn turned pro in 2013 and was married in 2014.

 

Jeff Horn 1.17. Gary Corcoran 4.50. Draw 26.00

 

Jeff Horn is the WBO champion and I love how much it hurts the people who predicted Pacquiao would destroy him.

 

Found out a few things about Gary Corcoran:

1. Gary is one of 9 brothers and he is the 7th oldest.

2. Despite a slow start, Gary became a standout amateur, winning the Haringey Box Cup twice in two different weight classes.

3. As an amateur, Gary was a serial semi-finalist, reaching the Junior ABA’s and CYP semi-finals twice each and the London ABA semi-finals once.

4. Gary debuted in 2011 on the undercard of Ricky Burns - Michael Katsidis at Wembley Arena, beating journeyman Billy Smith on points.

5. Gary's older brothers Eddie and Billy were professional boxers before him. Eddie went 8-1 during 2006–2012, and Billy had an impressive record of 17-2-1, winning the English super-featherweight title in 2005 and challenging for the British strap. Gary’s younger brother Simon Corcoran is about to turn professional with Frank Warren.

6. Gary has fought 16 of his 18 professional fights in London.

7. Gary was born in London and is a proud traveler of the Corcoran family from Galway, Ireland.

8. Gary is managed by Frank Warren and trains at the Peacock Gym in London with trainer Frank Greaves.

9. Gary is a 2 weight WBO Inter-Continental champion, winning the light middleweight strap in 2016 and then adding the welterweight version in his last fight against unbeaten Larry Ekundayo.

10. Gary has ruined the unbeaten record of 3 prospects – Ricky Godding (21-0-1), Rick Skelton (13-0) and his latest fight against 2012 Prizefighter winner Larry Ekundayo (12-0).

 

Both guys come forward relentlessly. So it should be a very willing scrap while it lasts.

 

Corcoran is training at the Peacock Gym in Canning Town with trainers Frank Greaves and Peter Stanley.

 

Gary Corcoran says he is prepared to bite Jeff Horn :

“I won’t headbutt Jeff back — I’ll bite him,’’ Corcoran said.

“I have bullied bigger boys than Jeff in previous fights. I’ve trained for 12 hard rounds and he hasn’t fought anyone as big or young as me.’’
