What’s everyone think of that stoppage?

What’s everyone think of that stoppage?

I thought it was a bit soft at first. But the guy had a big cut (or two) and he said after the fight that he couldn't see the punches coming, so don't mind it. He was well down on the scorecards, too.

Horn with the win in the 11th.

Reading forums online gee Americans give Horn a hard time. They hate him because they had never heard of him and now theyll just continue to hate on him because they're all to stubborn to change their views or think for themselves. Good on Jeff. Doing Australia proud. You can only beat who's in front of you.
Bring on Crawford. Win or lose, he's having a crack.

I think people hate Horn because of how arrogant he's been after beating an old man Pacquiao in very controversial circumstances.

Instead of calling Floyd out, he should focus on beating Bud.

I can't say I've noticed the arrogance. I just think the judges' decision wasn't overly popular, and horn is copping it from that.

I reckon he's being told to be more brash to drum up attention. Look at his demeanur during interviews, he's still a very awkward guy

On tomoz

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Saunders gets it done.

Their saying Wilder vs Ortiz next year. For mine Ortiz wins that. Wilder has his speed, reach and right hand power... Ortiz will be much better than Wilder opposition. Outside of his first victory against Stiverne.... Wilder has faced moderate or aged opponents his whole career.


Ortiz is a southpaw with a big amatuer background, better movement than other Wilder opposition and will get on the inside and land his own powerful shots.

No way Wilder vs Ortiz goes the distance

Keen as hell for that. Can see Wilder winning with a trademark windmill knockout.

I'm praying that Ortiz doesn't fail another drug test.

Does Wilder v Joshua in 2018?

 

[whiskeytown]

Does Wilder v Joshua in 2018?

Maybe in 2nd half of the year. Joshua vs Parker first. And looking like Wilder vs Ortiz first. Add to that Lucas Browne vs Dillon Whyte... winner to become Joshua mandatory challenger.

Lots of big heavyweight fights in the first half 2018

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Hopefully can catch a bit of next weekends fight.. It's a ripper...

 

[Tandy]

I'll be watching Spence v Peterson. Might support Peterson as the underdog. Hoping for the Horn fight to be announced by the end of the week.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Both guys are dudes. But I'm on the Spence bandwagon, hoping the 0 stays.

More importantly, when does Mrs Mundine fight again?

Did Mundine win a fight against a former contender for a featherweight! title in a middleweight bout , then went on to say that Horn is only praised because he's white.? Mundine must be scrounging for money or promotion.

His whole career seems to be about being mouthy mediocre, and quite useless up against serious first class opponents.

Any experts out there might comment on this statement , I would regard Mundine as not just a step on the ladder lower than Horn.
But more than that , not even in the same hardware store?

I suspect he may one day in the pursuit of money and hero worship, get seriously hurt.

This new Australian "real" world champ Horn would kill him , yes / no?

I'm continually amazed at this unpleasant bloke who seems to hate everyone.
