The Rhythm Is Gonna Get You: The Hectic Frenetic Chaotic Controlled Madness That Is Jeff Horn.

What did he do to cheat, honestly? Don't say holding, because Khan and Wlad and countless other big name boxers are even guiltier of that but you don't crusade against them quite like Horndog.

Rabbit punches? Eh, he might have gotten in a few incidental ones but again there are loads of guys that are worse.

Pretty much any infraction or foul he may have committed in the Pac fight is something you can attribute to an orthodox vs. southpaw match-up where both guys have aggressive dispositions further exacerbated by a height difference. Those fouls do not define Horn the fighter, and there is none in which he is the most serious chronic offender in the sport, or even close to it.

 

So you are pretty much just excusing all his illegal tactics because it suits your narrative? Ok cool LOL. It is your opinion that other fighters get away with worse, I disagree. IMO Horn was instructed by the ANBF that he could get away with murder just as long as he survives the 12. You think that Robert Byrd is going to let him get away with that BS?

 

He street brawled him as if he was a plastered navvy

The guy was a straight up disgrace and hopefully he gets Dongo'd next week.

 

Dude, he flat out tried to blind Pac in the 4th round.

 

Pacquiao's conditioning was pretty amazing... Having a 170 pound dude leaning on you and tossing you around for 12 rounds?

 

Ref: You know what I expect, a good clean fight... smh.

Wow, he's so ****ing skilled lunging in with a straight oh, he missed, no problem headlock m****er!

 

Both you guys are ridiculous when it comes to Horn. I'm not sure why you have blinders on and not only that you look foolish talking him up and ignoring everything else. This is the type of fanboying I expect from others.

 

I am going to be interested to see how Crawford deals with Horn's rough stuff and if it puts him off his game.

 

If Randal Bailey wasn't in his forties he would have finished Horn when he had him hurt in their fight.

 

i got to give you that, you do put yourself out there with your predictions.
i dont make predictions for all the fights, because i dont follow all fighters, and if i make a call, its because its pretty obvious to me, and so im rarely off base. for this fight, the only prediction i made was that bud would probably win, but if he struggles, then hes gonna catch his first loss when he meets spence.
the outcome of this fight isnt obvious to me because i have not seen bud in a fight with a man his size and i dont like how some of those smaller guys were matching him strength wise. i think horn is going to put him in a position that bud has not looked impressive in when smaller guys put him there. i think he has the skills to overcome that position, but how big of a factor would the size be if gamboa had been horns size?
i will probably make my final call on fight night, like i do for most fights.

 

The thing in this fight for me is if Crawford has the power to make horn respect him.

If horn can take his shots he'll be like a raging bull n come after Crawford n making it very uncomfortable for him.
I see Crawford boxing n moving n not really planting his feet n punching with power.

I'll go majority draw in a good but controversial one.

 

Spot on.

Horn's defense is vastly underrated, especially his head movement.

He IS a bit dirty, though. Still, that's boxing. He uses rough tactics & leaning, but he doesn't rabbit punch or intentionally head butt. He just maximizes his size advantage.

I think he'll take Bud to the final bell, but not much chance of his winning.

 

Here's the thing .He beat an over the hill Pac when he wasn't supposed to win.
Now if he was as good as YOU think his people would have put him in with anyone because he was the hot fighter .
But he isn't. And he and his people know it. So they look for a fight what will get them the most money because they know he's going to get exposed for what he is- a limited boxer who caught a fading legend at the right time.
