Foxtel Main Event coverage starts at 10.00 am tomorrow. Gotta pay a tad under $50.00 to watch it. I coughed so I'll be watching.

I am thinking of going to one of the local clubs if they have it on the big screen for an early happy hour!

Crawford is the real deal and Horn never hurt him or looked in contention. The only chance Jeff had was to get lucky enough to knock him out.

Yeah ... the dodgy scales story is a dodgy story.

Horn wasn't in the hunt ... he got thoroughly toasted.

This what's wrong with Australian boxing ... they have hopefuls fight hasbeens or nobodies ... then send them off to the US to test their real metal .... & they get smashed.

Horn was lucky with the Pac Man.

Whose entourage also claimed he was robbed.

Jeff is a brave & tough young bloke but he wasn't in the same class.

I certainly wouldnt write him off as "not in his league" Id say that if he treats this as a learning experience he has a real chance of claiming the belt again.

Not a fan of boxing, but the little bit I saw showed that the other guy had very quick arms and fists... Horn could train and get more with it and do a comeback were my thoughts... it's like State of Origin - they go from NRL to the toughest League game in the world and it's a steep learning curve. Learn the lessons, train for it at a higher level, and come back...

1.
Horn exhibited more 'mental' prowess than 'physical' ability - which, might have proved superior outside the ring and suited the Australian Media's needs. But in the Ring, it proved the undoing. He should have forgot about being a 'Teacher' and learn a few things like ...not being 'cocky'.

2. Crawford exhibited an exceptional 'different' performance compared to his previous fights. He exhibited a fight as if he was on performance enhancing drugs. His work-rate was far higher than previous fights.

3.

TARVER

admitted to having used 'Steroids' and other Performance Enhancements' against

DANNY GREEN

of who he absolutely SMASHED around the ring. But the fight was done and dusted and just added more sting to the defeat to Green that there was nothing Green could do about it and Tarver laughed it off for being able to get away with it.

4. Australian 'Down Under' sport is an 'groveller' to USA for want of being a defiant 'convict' rebel against the UK. Roll Eyes

So little wonder USA fighters are not 'challenged' by the Aust Boxing Assoc, regarding drug use. Its all about "DA MONEY" Wink

Conclusion: Horn was too 'in his head' to be any 'physical' threat and Crawford exhibited every sign of being totally

'roided up'

like Tarver against Green.

Get him on the back foot and he opens up. Crawford worked this out by the 3rd. He knew to stay away from horns hook too, and he did. Experience paid off.
