Crawford and I think it's going to be easy as well. Horn just doesn't seem to have real technique to me, he's awkward and herky-jerky but against an elite level boxer, he'll be made to look foolish I feel. I don't think Jeff will pose any problems to Crawford on the outside, he'll try and bum rush him, end up getting countered. Rinse and repeat. Maybe he'll try and make it dirty and rough, ala, Floyd Hatton but it's not going to do much in terms of winning rounds.
Crawford UD. Crawford for as good and talented as he is I just cannot warm to him for whatever reason, rooting for Horn but I think Crawford wins a tough UD.
Horn is tough as nails, and has vastly underrated defense. - But Crawford is on of the 5 best in the sport today, IMO. Slightly untested, but jeez just watch him... I think Horn will see the final bell, but Bud will own him for at least ten rounds. If Crawford can take Horn out, that will answer a lot of questions about his power at 147.
Yep. He has to fight inside and ugly for this fight. Crawford has a 2" reach advantage, and faster hands. But Bud is too slick to get caught on the ropes. this is a classic "matador vs bull" fight. (& his name is actually "horn." There's a joke in there, somewhere.) I really like & respect Horn, but this one won't likely end well for him.
I think this could turn our like Lomachenko vs Linares. Not the style of fight, but the way that someone actually hung with Loma and at times made him look human. Horn could be the guy to push bud to a place we have not seen him in yet, but ultimately lose. I am notthat high on Horn (that was a very clear loss to pacman), but I do think he has the style to give Bud his hardest professional fight.
Well said. Except Horn clearly BEAT Pac. Unless you count Pac constantly hitting Horn's gloves and arms as points. (hint: they are NOT points. You can look it up & stuff. )
LOL at the Aussie media they are already crying and making out that Horn is being hard done by. So pathetic.
Pac beat the hell out of Horn, but Uncle Bob's judges gave him a decision, even after the referee tried to stop the fight. I do not give points for headbutts, holdiing, low blows, elbows, etc., SOB Ward can get by with it, he could bring a gun into the ring and shoot his opponent and would be praised for it. While I think Horn has zero chance even in a fair fight, it appears the powers-that-be in boxing will make sure Crawford wins every round as they will own the judges, ref, boxing commission, and the dirty tricks about the bad gym, gloves and crap like that are not necessary, Uncle Bob does not have to cheat for Crawford........................corruption is king in boxing................call 702-486-2575 and demand a fair fight, no more corruption!
