    I think Crawford is ''unknown'' at this weight vs a naturally bigger man. Crawford has never been ''roughed up''. It's an interesting fight in how Crawford will react. I'm not super convinced he will stop Horn.

    I think it may be a more ''aggressive'' version of the performance he gave vs Postol in the sense Horn will make it more ugly coming forward.

    Make that 3 times he'd have to knock him out.

    Even then, if Crawford is knocked down, the ringside doctor will appear on the apron to beckon the ref who will then turn his back to get distracted, leaving Terrance with enough time to beat the count and recover until it goes to the scorecards for the judges to do their work.

    I mean it could end up as some ''virtuoso'' performance by Crawford beating up a weight drained Horn.

    It could, or it could be yet another p4p king projection (a'la Chocolatito) turned on it head when the mega-talent bites off a little more than he can properly chew moving up in weight after having looked phenomenal in lower divisions.

    Garcia, Mayweather, Matthysse? You've lost me.

    It's simple, many of the people that were talking Postol up as a great fighter and picking him to win refuse to give Crawford any credit for beating him. Horn will be the same old story.

    I'm very much looking forward to this fight and somewhat surprised at the lack of build up and hype for this event.

    I believe and I may well be wrong, but strongly feel that Horn will simply be too big, too strong and just too pure for the craweightbully to deal with.

    I'll paraphrase some quotes from Angel Garcia

    Terrace Crawford ain't ever fought an Australian in his God damn life. He never fought an Australian hungry like Horn

    The key to beating Terrance Crawford, is going in there and beating the ****ing **** outta him.

    That's gonna be the Jeff Horn king gameplan

    Crawford is simply a better fighter all round and wins thus by stoppage. Horn doesn’t strike me as the type of person to ‘land a lucky shot’, tough but too cautious.

    Horn already is a bum I fully expect Crawford to take him out within 3 rounds.

    Wonder how long Horn will be in the hospital? Horn is not on a professional level, Pac beat the crap out of him, but along came Marsa Bob................

    Farmy, you do know that Pac is pushing 40 (going to have that many candles on the cake this December, in fact) and started at light fly, right?

    What exactly will it take for you to accept that he's slipping enough to at this stage be run close or even legitimately defeated by guys who, though solid, are p4p levels below what he was in his prime? Matthysse putting him in the hospital with a brain-bleed?

    Pac won that fight.......................I agree with Teddy Atlas........................and most others......................Horn could get seriously hurt in the fight with Crawford, this is a very dangerous fight for him, he has zero chance.....................

    Crawford will beat horn anywhere and stop him. If horn tries to get dirty Crawford will rough him up on the inside aswell.

    Are you going to be shocked if Pac is KTFO by LMM?

    A bit easier to spin a cockamamie denialist take on a close points loss than having the chickens of reality come home to roost when your fave has to be revived with salts...

    Simple, as far as ESB spin doctoring propaganda goes... Postol is probably one of Bud's best wins, based on his win against Matthysse, I'd argue otherwise, I think that would be Diaz. But there was a narrative pushed by Garcia and by default Mayweather fanboys, that all had some bizarre agenda that I didn't understand then or now against Lucas. Most FMJ and Garcia fanboys loved to defecate on La Maquina before and after Danny's best win, so if he sucks and is so average, then he must not be a great win for Postol right? Postol became a bum after he lost to Crawford, because his best win according to a lot of you is a bum, so he had nothing but a bum on his record and a loss, so therefore Postol is a bum.

    Pacquiao one could argue is FMJ's signature win, and he was handily beaten by Horn, and I'd argue, Pac was NOT shot in that fight, after all, you don't go from convincingly beating Vargas and Bradley back to back a few months earlier, and slide into being a mediocre shell that quickly, usually people at least show signs of slippage, and there were no resounding alarm bells, leading into the fight. So... Horn beat a more than decent version of Pac, so by implying Horn will become a bum if Bud beats him, you're implying Pacquiao is Matthysse level. Pac is no bum, Horn is no bum, I think its you who belives Horn is a bum, and that the match will be a walk in the park for Crawford, and you're projecting.

    Pac landed more punches, Horn wrestled, headbutted, low blows, elbows, pushing, etc., but Pac won the fight. However, Horn is not as good as Matthysse. Matthysse is a very dangerous fight for Pac, he won't have as much speed as Pac, but he has power to spare. If he lands a clean punch on Pac it could be over, just don't know how much either fighter has left. Matthysse is better than Horn by all means, but can he land the big one? He will be up for the fight, but Pac will probably be kind of down, could make the difference. I expect Pac to win by speed, but will not be surprised if Matthysse lands the big one, difficult to do, but if Pac has slowed down a lot then it's possible...............
