Jeff "the Raging Koala" Horn blames Foot Blisters for his Loss amd demands rematch in Australia

He does deserve a rematch as former champ.

And I said before he couldn't generate off his back foot, it was apparent during the fight which is why he was lunging in throwing wild punches.

No doubt it was from injuries and scars sustained from the car accident that hadn't fully healed.

 

Horn doesn't deserve ****..... Fight wasn't competitive at all and he was lucky to win a major title to begin with.

 

The Princess should rematch the Hornet in Australia. Lets make it happen Bob.

He said the blisters on his feet bothered him leading up to the fight and affected his preparation and ability to spar but he said they didn't bother him during the fight once the adrenaline kicked in.

I mean we seen what happened when Haye had a broken toe vs Wlad. The guy couldn't even plant and it greatly affected his performance. Footwork is crucial to a boxer, if there's something wrong with your feet it can affect your performance.

It's obvious that Horn was not 100%. I mean he was in a car accident, he had blisters, he couldn't spar, he was fighting in America for the first time, he was struggling making weight. I mean Horn had all kinds of distractions going into the fight. It could be a whole different story with a full fit Hornet in Australia.

 

Foot blisters? Taking out an excuse from Pacquiao's book? lol

 

Team Horn has no idea how to handle a loss with dignity. They should watch Holyfield’s interview after the first Bowe fight and then Bowe’s interview after the second fight. Give the other guy his props, say you tried your best and you’ll be back. It’s not complicated.

 

He gave Crawford all the credit in the world.

But wants a rematch. That's the attitude of a champion, they wish to right a loss.

Horn got embarrassed he does not belong at world level

 

Getting harder & harder to respect Horn, who did not make a fool of himself in the ring. This is truly sad.

But WTF with this idiot trainer? Besides not having a clue how to vary Horn's offense:

1: They get a non-air conditioned training facility, and then just USE it? They couldn't bring in portable units, or, you know, just go to another facility? For this alone, he should be fired.

2: Now he claims a "mishap" with the shoes? For this, he should be sent to the expanse, and then spaced.

 

Hilarious. I know footwork is the absolute key in boxing, but blisters didn't prevent him from moving his head. He's never had good head movement.

Blisters didn't make his hands slower than Crawford's. Blisters didn't make him eat left hook after left hook.

 

This is the worst case of post fight excuse making I've seen by a fighter and his fans since David Haye blamed his dire performance against Klitschko on a damaged toe.

 

David Haye wasn't in a 3 car head on collision. How many of you laptop tough guys have walked away from such a horrific accident and then started training a few days later?

The blisters which he speaks of are most likely six inch wounds inflicted from the scraps of broken jaggered metal from the vehicle he was in from the sheer impact, which would have pierced the flesh from the soles of his feet.

 

Yes the wrong pair of boxing shoes but he would have needed his own custom made ones which would have been designed to mitigate and cushion the injuries. Which is why he wouldn't have been able to just pop into the nearest foot looker and buy any old boxing footwear.

Blood, pus and liquids were pouring out of his feet while training in a 130 degree heat fueled gym. Add in

• Jet Lag
• Whiplash
• Delayed Concussion
• Six inch deep gash wounds disguised as blisters so the the fight wouldn't be cancelled
• Being boiled alive in a 130 degree sauna like hell oven gym without any windows

When we analyse the conditions and other factors Jeff had to contend with, I think we can honestly say, that really the poor boy never stood a chance.
