    Hook, line and sinker.

    Horn needs a debrief on what went wrong.

    This went as expected. Horn does not belong at this level. He beat PAC cos MP was old & he complimented his mediocre arsenal with mma & Muay Thai to get that win*! Its ridiculous that he had to do that to an old fighter! Poor sportsmanship & just quite low really. I have no idea why TC fanboys are revelling in this because in truth JH isn't top 5 at WW! & has anyone noticed how TC has started stopping fighters as he moves up? When his power at LW wasn't anything like it is now? Its because he's a more natural fit at WW, he's fully matured now. He isn't a small WW he's a natural one if not bigger. I told you all Horn was average & those now anointing him a bum are basically defecting on TC! Horns supposed awkward angles were simply poor technique not some purposeful skillset. He is Sako Bika, slow, can't punch properly & physical.

    Crawford isn't close to being a big welterweight.

    Do tell..

    I think I remember reading his in ring weight for LW Gamboa was 155lb! So I assume he's about 160ish here in this one.

    It would be interesting to find out. He was clearly the smaller man in the ring.

    Horn's trainer on what weight they were going to come in for last night's fight

    ''I think he'll be, in Australian terms, up around 70kgs maybe a tick over, but around that. We don't try to unduly put on extra weight''

    So about 154 or 155

    “I don’t believe we’ll have this huge size advantage that everybody’s saying,” Rushton said on the conference call. “We’ll have a one-inch height advantage. Naturally, Terence can’t change his height [5-feet-8]. But I think we’re gonna be not surprised because I expect Terence will come in here equally as big as Jeff.”

    I think Terence will come in here a lot bigger than a lot of people think, and I don’t think there will be a noticeable size advantage.''

    Crawhype was coming in at 157 since 2016 and he was obviously down at 140 then and he is clearly bigger now than he was when he was campaigning down at 140

    Per his S&C coach

    ''We've trained harder since his last fight, putting more weight on him - good weight - putting some more muscle on him, and just getting him bigger, because we've always know he was going to have to move up in weight eventually, so that was a big part of it - just getting him heavier''

    ''He has easily put on 10lbs of muscle all the while by maintaining speed and athleticism.''


    So he was obviously going to be coming in heavier now that he's up at 147 than he was when he was at 140, just as he did when he moved up from 135 to 140. He typically rehydrated 15-17lbs when he campaigned at both those weights.

    If he just put 10lbs back on after the weigh in for last nights fight he'll weigh how much exactly?

    157?

    Correct.

    But he's going to still weigh 157 ie. what he was coming in at down at 140 as far back as 2016, after doing all this

    ''We've trained harder since his last fight, putting more weight on him - good weight - putting some more muscle on him, and just getting him bigger, because we've always know he was going to have to move up in weight eventually, so that was a big part of it - just getting him heavier''

    ''He has easily put on 10lbs of muscle all the while by maintaining speed and athleticism.''

    And the fact that he also clearly looks bigger now too?

    OK lol

    Great work as per.. He's simply one of those freaks of nature who can cut a lot of weight. Why doesn't he fight someone his own size like Bivol for instance? LOL

    lol Thanks.

    I just want to know the answer to this

    If Horn weighed 155 on fight night

    Which is 2lbs less than what Crawford was coming in as far back as 2 years ago when he was down at 140

    And Crawford has been working hard since his last fight at 140 adding muscle, weight, and just getting bigger as per his own S&C

    And clearly looks bigger now than he did when he was coming in at 157

    How much more than 157 did he weigh? I mean he obviously weighed more

    Unless you want to ignore what his S&C coach said they've been doing since his last fight

    I predicted he'd be about 162. I mean if you're going to spend months and months doing all of this

    ''We've trained harder since his last fight, putting more weight on him - good weight - putting some more muscle on him, and just getting him bigger, because we've always know he was going to have to move up in weight eventually, so that was a big part of it - just getting him heavier''

    ''He has easily put on 10lbs of muscle all the while by maintaining speed and athleticism.''

    And you clearly look bigger than you did when you were coming in at 157 since 2016

    I think it's safe to say you're going to be at least 5lbs heavier than the weight you were coming in down at 2 years ago

    That just seems like common sense to me
