Crawford gonna send horn back to teaching... not that theres anything wrong with being a teacher

 

Crawford's near 180lbs before camp. Get a clue, Crawford is not small. This guys the biggest weight cutter in the business lol.

This... I hear people saying Crawford is the bigger guy, hilarious. Walk around weight is very different to fight weight. Crawford could still make lightweight if he wanted too when he's fit and in shape, he's a natural lightweight. Horn shreds 5kg 24 hours before weigh-in, he's the much bigger dude, he's always the bigger dude even against natural Welterweights. Considering I've never seen Crawford even fight a good pressure fighter, let alone a big physically imposing natural middleweight like Horn, I think people are living in imagination land if they think this is going to be anything that resembles a boxing match. Like Pacquiao, the much bigger Horn is going to show no respect for Crawfords boxing ability, hell turn it into a dog fight. He'll be in Crawfords face, trying to beat him up, roughing him up like a rag doll non stop from the opening seconds to the final bell. This isn't going to be a test of Crawfords boxing skills as in previous fights, but his endurance, stamina, durability, heart and chin against a big guy who's going to make him feel very small and like he's suffocating. 50/50 fight IMO.

 

Horn is like a welterweight Bika. Rough, awkward, big, won't beat the top level, but nobody really looks good against him (the only guy who ever really did was Bute)

I don't expect Horn to win, but I am expecting people after the fight to overreact when Bud doesn't look like a million bucks in victory. It's an ugly matchup and I don't anticipate it being fan friendly.

 

This, but I also expect ppl to be surprised since Bud won't look great against any of the top 147 contenders since they all weight near 180lbs pre-camp weight just like Bud. The difference is that these guys were not or could not cut down to a crazy 140lb class giving them all sorts of advantages vs smaller men.

 

Thanks bro

 

Fair point
Horne is about as nasty as they come IMO

 

I could see that happening. I'm baking in some improvement from Bud not having to drain so hard, too.

Between Horn and whoever he fights next, I'll have a better sense of whether having to fight full fledged 147 pounders will outweigh the benefit of a less severe cutting regime. He's basically been a welterweight with exceptional weight cutting ability up to this point.

 

Crawford has been beating up untested or over the hill fighters his entire career. Long may it continue ...

 

Just watched ten minutes of the Pac fight, Horn is made for Crawford. He's a big, tough 147er but way too basic, Crawford will light him up.

 

Horn will be blown out.

 

Horn will bounce Dud Crawford harder than a basketball in the celebrity all-star game.

 

Just more evidence that Horn's team have the judges in hand whenever he fights at home.
