None of that matters.
Make as many threads as u can.
Could generate more traffic to the site.
Potentially making it more profitable.

I thought usually the fighters feel each other out for the first one or two rounds but Horn rushed in while Crawford sussed him out. But I can't box so only guessing. I box with my mouth instead

Highly recommend you watch the Joshua - Klitschko fight, one of the best fights of the modern era even though Vladimir was 40 by then.

I don't like to see anyone lay out cold on the canvas and Choc brings the game to life. He lives a clean lifestyle so I appreciate that. On one occasion I spoke at length with his dad so can't dislike his children without solid reason.
I'm backing Choc.
Hes a good bloke. Had the pleasure of meeting him a few times. All the contraversial stuff is just to garner interest and sell tickets.
Horn is a nerd. Got gifted a win against Manny - didn't deserve it. Then got punished by TC.

Mundine is a goose.
It's not a bad idea to throw some controversial statements to sell tickets but, unfortunately, he hasn't got enough intelligence to know when he's gone too far.
Has always been been trying the Ali way - but without the boxing or talking skills.
His dad is the polar opposite…and was a much better boxer who people respected.
@ said:
Yeah man, I see both sides of the coin…. So I respect your opinion. I know why people dislike him but having spent some time with him on a few occasions... He's totally different when the cameras are off.
Believe it or not he's quite the gentleman and willing to do anything for the boys. Does a lot for charity and the idiginenous communities all over Australia.
All that aside though, he is a super talent despite getting on in age... He said this will be his last fight. Three weight class champ? Great boxer and was a great league player too...
BS aside, one of the best "athletes" to ever come out of Australia... Debatable but imo the best indigenous athlete of all time.... Happy to hear other opinions and feel free to disagree but that's how I feel.

I think one of Aussie's quickest boxers. shame when he lost his first fight I think he got over confident. Then he was sidelined from USA due to 9/11 so missed the biggest opportunities. But over the years it has been reported that he has helped big time when needed, just like Willie Mason so good on both of them. I have all admiration for Horn as well, the reason why he took up boxing and he was only a part timer. (in chess I have knocked a few pros off in spite of being only a part timer so love them)

Exactly, I was a punter at the Harold Park greyhounds about 1975 where he was doing a promo gig. My mate's dog won that night, hope I gave him the tip.
@ said:
Gotta agree, Choc has carried boxing in this country for ages, I realise his mouthing off is all for publicity, but he badly needed someone in his team on occasions to settle him down.
As far as an athlete, Mundine is right up there, if Mundine was 10 years younger he would have given Horn a boxing lesson, but at 43 I think Horn will just get him.

The old man and his brother saw him fight Steve Aczel twice at Festival Hall , met him after the fight in 1975 from memory
@ said:
I'd love the see the old boy pull off an upset. Then retire with a win.
Horn isn't anything special tbh. As a boxing fan that's my view on him.
