Hope horn gets pumped has turned into flog so lippy now

 

[Typical dog]

Horns trainer is so unlikable. Apart from all the headlines about how poor his advice between rounds was, I can't stand listening to the bloke

He has always been a flog, he just hid it well.

I personally dont understand how anyone who has seen these guys actually fight recently (not just highlights and reading BS in the paper) thought it was going to go any other way than it did.

 

[Typical dog]

When Horn was saying that he's going to rag doll Tszyu, did he mean try and cuddle him while getting dusted up?

 

[Gene Krupa]

Horn was gifted the Pacquiao fight. He then believed the hype about himself.

I had to laugh at the end of the fight when the announcer went through what titles Tszyu had. It was like the IBO Interim Australasian something-or-other, then a WBO one. it really sounded like some sort of made up participation awards.

You are right. Seems like you get a belt for turning up these days.

The LGBTWTF belt, the NFI, the ROFL, the SMH and the TLDR........belts that come with a Happy Meal basically.
The commentators frothing up their jocks saying TT is now a global superstar, would be very surprised if he doesn't get beaten to a pulp by the international fighters to be honest.

Yeah he's a deadshit.

I find Horn to be insufferable as well. How he carried on about the whole who comes out second thing was cringe.

Then to put up that piss poor effort, the fight was over after 1 round lol. Aussie boxing continues to deliver top quality fights.

I think they both carried on like schoolgirls re: the whole 'who comes out last' crap. It was embarrassing. Pretty sure Smokin' Joe Frazier wouldn't of given a flying fuck whether he came out first or second in his day, he was just intent on blasting his opponent to unconsciousness. Boxing really has turned to pus these days, as have a lot of sports.
And Foxtel have the hide to charge $60 for the shit that gets dished up. Did you see the first prelim fight? FMD, bloke looked like he would've been more at home in an ice-cream shop. Credit to him for having the balls to step in there in the first place but wow, it was a disgraceful example of the state of Aussie boxing.
They could of at least got Justin Hodges back in there to get pummelled again, that was mint!

I watched it all for free thanks to a stream. I would never pay $60 for Aussie boxing crap. The undercard had maybe 1 or 2 OK fights, that one you mentioned was just as dumb as you described.

Add on the horrendous "experts" like Paul Kent and Eddie and the announcer saying the main event was Jeff Horn vs Tim Horn, what a piss poor, amateur event.

ps I like Paul Kent as a journo/NRL 360 host, but why is he hosting a boxing event?

Kent likes to think of himself as 'Mr Boxing' on Fox because he had 1 amateur fight or something similar, it's pretty laughable. Why would they have Eddie on there? Moonface wouldn't knock the suppository outta Wayne Bennett's bunghole.
How about the official weigh-in, did you see that lol. As amateur as it gets, surprised they weren't running a lamington stall in the background.

No I missed that.

How can this piss poor event cost the same as massive UFC cards

I know right, it should have just been a free fight night on Fox Sports. I actually watched it at the pub with a few mates, no way I would pay to put that on.

UFC for a stacked card I am happy to put on. Actually, my friends and I usually all chuck in $10 each and that covers UFC PPV, food and drinks.

RIP Marvellous Marvin Hagler. Too young to go at 66.
What a great fighter he was and a privilege that I got to see him fight against the likes of Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard

This one should be a good fight. Tim Tszyu on course for a world title shot, and Dennis Hogan, who could prove quite a handful.
