Jeffrey Horn, Jr. vs. Terence Allan Crawford

I think it could go either of two ways, and they're both extreme polar ends of the spectrum. Whoever loses is going to wear a dazed & flabbergasted expression as they remain seated on the canvas while a maelstrom of semi-brogue oxfords and cap-toe derbies begin to scuff it up in the post-stoppage hoopla.

 

Top Rank slipping; amateur hour...

They have no card information finalized (or at least not published) just nine days out.

It will also be televised on Main Events in Australia...plus with so much international flavor on the undercard there's a high probability that somebody will have their home country broadcast at least part of it. (Maksim Dadashev is from Russia, Darleys Pérez from Colombia, Antonio Moran from Mexico, etc)

ESPN+ doesn't have this altogether monopolized, thankfully.

 

Yeah...please don't get ESPN+. Lots of people who already pay to have the ESPN package included with their cable subscription, myself included, are going to be unwilling to pay extra on top of that just to have access to some of their boxing content, when all of their boxing content has always been covered under just being a subscriber. If enough people don't get the app, they'll rethink the whole model and probably eliminate the extra monthly fee, and probably just make that classic ESPN & Top Rank fight library available free to existing subscribers. At least hopefully. But everyone that does pay, just enables them, and pisses off those of us that aren't going to.

 

You might be able to purchase ESPN+ separately without being a subscriber, I'd assume so, but for existing subscribers it sucks to have to suddenly pay extra to get access to all of ESPN's boxing content. It should be either/or - like if you don't already have an ESPN account but happen to be a cable-cutter or whatever, you can just pay à la carte to access the ESPN+ library and live fights...but they shouldn't be double-dipping on those of us that already pay to have ESPN like this. Many of us are going to reject this model on principle.
