    I think Dud Crawford will wobble against Horn like a Rolf Harris musical instrument.

    Excuses? Excuses for Jeff Horn?!":lol:

    No one really gives Horn a shot here, he's a commonwealth fighter, a teacher LOL

    I'm not even convinced he'd beat a shot Pac again in a rematch let alone a prime Crawford.

    Horn's not on the same level as Crawford. He's not even on the same plane of existence as him.

    It’s not tough to bully a guy when you are 5 inches taller and have 30lbs on him fightnight and all you came to do is rough house cause you got your ass kicked in the fight.

    Horndog is ready to open a can of whoop-ass on Dud Crawford's head.

    Crawford by stoppage around the 11th.

    Always substantively difficult to move up and fight for the very first time at a new (higher) weight FOR a championship (even if the "champ" is less skilled). Crawford will take a couple rounds to analyze Horn, a couple rounds to adjust, and then he will (catch Horn with hard counters in combination) hammer Horn until he hurts him, drops him, and finishes him.

    Crawford is a man now not a growing youth. He hasn't had or needed a size advantage to win. In fact, even at 140, he was the smaller fighter in 4 of his last 5 fights and 5 of his last 7 covering a span of the past 3 years. Crawford will not be a giant welter or what would be considered huge or most optimal today (above 5'9" up toward 5'10" and perhaps even 5'11" in some future young welter who can make the limit and put on considerable pounds overnight). But, he is a solid (-ly built) welter at 5'8" in which his strength is going to be demonstrated as more than sufficient to compete with the very best in class. Horn is a rugged fighter with a modest size advantage that will be proven to be irrelevant (even in Crawford's very first fight in a higher weight class - and as said, against a champ).

    Horn is going to be beaten to the punch all night (after the first few rounds) and met with a superior and more natural offensive talent. He is going to take a lot of punishment. Don't think he sees the final bell.

    I get LOLz when some fans bring up Crawford getting rocked by Gamboa. Gamboa was fast and explosive if he tags you clean it's going to hurt.

    Totally agree. It is going to be apparently obvious from the very first round. Horn is a deluded clown and is in way over his head.

    Crawford in a Burns type UD. Going to be very dominant.

    Without a lucky shot against a way past his prime Pac he wouldn't even be known by anyone.

    I'll be cheering for Horn but I can't see him being victorious.

    When it comes to speed, power, accuracy and defense, Crawford is a level above in each category. Rough housing and being aggressive will only get you so far with an elite talent like Crawford.

    Crawford UD.

    Well that is the great unknown here, we don't actually know yet if that 7lb gap between super lightweight & welter is where Crawford bumps his noggin on the ceiling beams. That's what makes it exciting that he's jumping in with Horn instead of taking a tuneup in his 147lb debut. It could be a masterclass for the smaller man if Horn's size and rough awkward style prove no big deal in the face of superior athleticism, versatility & boxing skill - or he could get mauled if they don't.
