    Steve Kim has said on his podcast the 3 knockdown rule with Mario Lopez that the Crawford Horn fight is in jeopardy as Horn is trying to back out.

    I knew it, no wonder he is yet to sign the contract and there has not been an official announcement even though the fight is supposed to be 4 weeks away. Horn is a coward he never wanted to fight Crawford as he knows he will be humiliated. He would rather fight 42 year old Mundine. He knows he got lucky when the judges robbed Pacquiao.
    Pathetic stuff from Horn and his team of scumbags.

    Kim said he was at the stubhub for the Valdez Quigg fight and he spoke to Crawford who said the fight was in doubt.

    Didn't know about this, but not surprised in the least. Horn probably wants more "minutes of fame" before getting beaten again.

    Yeah....right.... bout 5 days too late, fight contract was officially signed off 5 days ago.
    "JEFF Horn’s US boxing debut has finally been locked in. Official confirmation arrived on Friday for Horn’s second WBO welterweight title defence against Terence Crawford on April 14 in Las Vegas...... Lonergan said the long delay was simply because Bob Arum’s US promotions company Top Rank were busy and only managed to send the first draft of the contract two weeks ago. Top Rank have a co-promotional deal with Horn that expires after this fight.
    Would I have liked to have gotten this contract finished sooner? — 100 per cent but, at the end of the day, you can only work with what you’re given, he said."
    Better luck next time...

    Steve Kim mentioned this on his Monday night podcast. Are you saying he is making it up? Why haven’t any of the major websites officially announced the fight?

    Jeff Horn is trying to fight Freddie Roach instead. Sees it as a more even fight

    I'm saying worldwide media is a much better source than a dude on a podcast. I've seen it on all the major websites, your just a few days too late.

    Horn probably gets a bigger payday for Mundine.
