OFFICIAL BOXING DISCUSSION

How's Kostyas young bloke doing?

 

[Newtown]

Out cold…

Lot of talk online it was a fix.... But idk.

I can't see Horn matching it with international guys like Danny Garcia or Errol Spence.... So he cna enjoy his win over an expired fighter and lose the next few when matched with US heavy hitters like Terrence Crawford

I don’t think it was fixed just the inevitable outcome of a massive mismatch. Mundine struggled with Green who was at a similar stage of semi retirement. Against Horn who is in his prime and world class it was only going to end one way.

As for Horn he needs to start thinking about his long term career and fight decent guys before he thinks big names again. Crawford looked out of his scope but Horn has improvement in him.

I can see Horn on the way out soon as well. This was a big payday at the back end of his career. He got a prison beating from Crawford and he may be thinking about his long term health. He beat Manny, how much higher is his ceiling realistically?

I don't like Horn at all…. Im with you though.
He smoked a dated Mundine.
But on the international stage he has no chance.

Over rated.

Don't forget that it was not that long ago that Horn held the WBO title.

Did u watch the Manny fight? Bias aside, I truly believed Manny was robbed.

Horn is an imposter

I’m not a big fan of Mundine but Horn got him pretty flush. If he was 32 and not 42 he might have worn it and kept going. Sure it wasn’t the biggest punch but it hit Mundine nice and clean.

You make some good points but he has made the same mistake as Jeff Fenech did by trying to stay at a weight division he really struggles to get down to

Goes up a weight division and he is a different beast altogether

Horn is an imposter

He fought, he won. How is he an imposter? Mundine was the imposter in that ring last night, he had no business being there. You just don’t like the guy because he doesn’t carry on like an arrogant tosspot in public which you seem to value for some reason…

As I said…. Manny was robbed.
And as I've also said.. I've met Mundine on numerous occasions and he turns it up for the camera but has always been good to me... And u don't like him cos u believe the media hype.
Horn is a dud and will be exposed again.

He's a dud because he lost to one of the best pound for pound boxers in the world in Terence Crawford? Horn has got a record that very few boxers achieve regardless of the quality of some of the compeition he's fought. He's a talent and calling him a dud is just dopey and makes you sound like a fanboy who plays favourites. He's never going to be an all time great but he's very competitive on the world stage.

I don't like Mundine because of the words that have come out of his own mouth, it has nothing to do with media hype. I respect the talent he had as a boxer regardless of the fact I don't like him too. He's had some great wins over his career and fought against some quality boxers like Ottke and Kessler. Yeah he lost to them but he earned a shot at them just like Horn did with Crawford.

As for Manny being robbed I don't see how you can hold that against Horn, all he did was get in the ring and go the distance and the rest was up to the judges (and the judges on the review panel after that who confirmed the result).

I'm with Nelson , you are really knocking how good Terence Crawford is by bagging Horn

 

[Demps]

😂

Let's see how Horn goes against Spence or Garcia.

Each their own fellas. I dont rate Horn.

Your ignoring our point though Demps , don't you rate Crawford ??

I reckon he would match up well with Alvarez , the extra weight and he will become a machine

Yeah TC is great.

Horn is over rated. He can't and won't match it with the big name fighters. Got lucky against Pac Man.

 

[Demps]

😂 What an event…

For a good cause.

The host and Aussie Joe are no good tho.

 

[Fade_To_Black]

Demps hits the nail on the head. How fit/committed Fury is will be a massive factor. I'd be backing Wilder all things considered.

Agree. Hopefully Fury has a good solid go. Would love to see him win, he is a real genuine down-to-earth bloke by the looks.
Wilder showed a great chin against Ortiz surprisingly. Can't see Fury knocking him out but you never know with the big-bangers. Go Fury you crazy gypsy bastard!!

I'm team Wilder with this one.
Seems like a better person and athlete.

[Yossarian]

Wilder needs a KO here

 

[Yossarian]

Final round. Fury looks well ahead.

 

[Yossarian]

Wilder knocks him down. Fury gets up. To the judges. Wilder with 2 knock downs but Fury dominated elsewhere.

 

[Tarl]

Draw?!

 

[Yossarian]

A draw? Insert disguised swearing here

 

[Yossarian]

Were they watching the same fight?

Wilder 115-111
Fury 114-110
Draw 113-113
