    Zerafa III - Middleweight match ups with the likes of Geale or Quinlan. Where does Horn go should be decide to continue? First off he would be wise to ditch and totally thrown Glenn Rushton under the bus and start fresh with a new trainer. Zerafa III is definitely the most appealing fight on paper. After a tune up or two that's probably the most profitable fight left for Horn out there.

    I don't think his head is in this anymore. It was reported that he was eating pizza and coke during training. He should have switched trainers after pac and fought some of the other fighters besides Crawford. Not sure if he is salvageable.

    Better have a decent WiFi setup because the kids'll already be straining to hear with the state of his voice. Add in some audio drop or crackles and it's "fook this, flunk us already, we're off to play Fortnite..."

    Dump Rushton and get a proper trainer that doesn't teach billy goat style of boxing. He looked horrendous against the classy Tszyu who schooled him. I thought he was suppose to be the teacher.Rushton style is half battering ram slash caveman boxing. Hilarious!

    If he fights again he needs to leave Rushton and have someone in his corner who will protect him. Disgraceful that Rushton forced Horn to say he was done instead of doing it for him.

    A Mundine rematch once Choc beats Zerafa but this time without the Manny/ODLH rehydration clause in the contract which killed Mundine last time.

    Also, nobody should begrudge Horn if he retires.

    His style is not a fine example of the sweet science but a fighter with heart and in fairness, after he beat Manny there was never going to be anything that rivalled that accomplishment for a fighter of his level so it's entirely understandable that he has perhaps lost his discipline. Tszyu is on his way up and Horn was on his way down. Mundine said if Tim wanted to be great like Kostya he needed to win these types of fights.

    He's done, no point in fighting again after that display last night.

    Jeff needs to retire, to learn how to box at his age after years of the Rushton method is too big an ask. He had a mountain of heart and plenty of toughness, if he had a proper trainer from the beginning his career might have lasted longer with less damage to himself.

    Rubber match of course!

    This sport thrives on them.
