    Who aside from Anthony Mundine and Sam Soliman is probably Australia's best middle way. He's already beaten Mundine, and he'd get s*** if he fought Sam. Although I have a feeling no matter what Horn does he can't win with you. If he fought Gennady Golovkin it would be considered a cash out.

    Golovkin v Horn is my dream fight. If you lived in Australia you would understand my grudge with Horn. The media here makes out that he is a hero it really is vomit inducing stuff.

    Yeah, I get it with the sappy media narratives. They can be annoying. But I try not to let stuff like that influence me that much. And everything I've seen of Horn, he seems like a good guy to me. Oh well, to each his own.

    I think it is similar to in the UK how AJ is portrayed as some nice guy which we all know is some BS and some of the local pundits make out that he is the second coming of Ali. Horn seems like a smug douche to me but like you said each his own.

    Hey, at least he is challenging himself. Fought Manny and Crawford.
    And is not moving up to middleweight. Zerafa is no world beater, but is still a big guy and a risky fight.

    Plus Horn smashed Mundine. We should all be thanking him for that :number_one:

    I have to disagree he cheated and got a gift against Manny he was backed into a corner contractually and was forced to fight Crawford then he weight drained a shot 43 year old Mundine and had a dangerous re hydration clause for the fight Mundine was a corpse on his way to the ring. Now he is charging his adoring public $60 to watch him fight a part time male stripper in his next fight.

    Australia's got to take what it can get when it comes to world class fighters mate :). These days anyhow, probably why the media go's a bit over the top but the media here have always been totally clueless when it comes to the fight game. Extremely cringy!

    I thought he clearly won that fight, tho it was really close. The only reason so many people cried robbery is because of Atlas' biased ass.
    Mundine was a tuneup and a cash crab. And Mundine spent years jumping from 154 to 160. Jeff should get at least some credit for moving up in weight. What was he supposed to do, go up two weight classes?
    And what does Zerafa's second job have anything to do with his boxing? You hear this **** all the time.
    B-Hop was a convict. Bryan Jennings was a maintenance man. Rosado pulled midnight shifts at some warehouse. Sor Rungvisai ate trash like a bum.
    Zerafa having a second job is completely irrelevant. Horn was a teacher FFS.

    *And if Horn was such a bully, he would have dragged Zerafa down to 154.

    Not nearly as bad as what Horn was able to get away with in his backyard against Pac. Headbutts, headlocks, clinching and elbow etc. galore. That was a totally dirty and shameful performance that would have probably seen him disqualified anywhere else in the world.

    Horn is going to continue follow the Aussie blueprint more than likely. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to dig Geale up after this. He'll cherrypick domestic fights until it's cashout time. The Crawford mauling made reality sink in for him. He's simply not an elite fighter or even top 10 without home turf advantage.

    I've got no love lost for Mundine but that's extremely low. Wasn't even aware of the clause. That makes this obvious cherrypick even worse.

    The title that Horn fought Mundine for was stolen by the WBA from off of the waist of Champion Tej Pratap Singh so that Horn could fight Mundine for it. Tej won that belt and then fought Solomon for it, but was robbed blind by the ref and a bunch of idiot judges who had already filled out the scorecards before the first bell rang. Solomon should have been disqualified for all the holding he did and he got knocked down twice and was never counted. That belt is stolen property and Tej Singh deserves his right to challenge for the belt that he won in the ring and lost to corrupt as F&ck WBA Australian based officials. By the way the decison by the stevie wonder judges *one judge was the Refs wife ffs lmao) was overturned and ruled a no contest , so Tej should still be the challenger if being fair has anything to do with boxing anymore.

    The eyes of the world will be on the boxing Mecca of Bendigo when Horndog & Zerafa get it on.

    Who takes it?

    Horndog all night long, baby.

    I don't think there's a man in all of Victoria who can handle Horndog's smoke.
