Not related to Pacquiao vs Matthysse fight but I think if I mention the Jeff Horn at least that rings a bell. Well Jeff Horn had a title fight today with Terence Crawford. Unlike Jeff Horn's fight with Manny Pacquiao, this fight ended in the 9th round with Terence Crawford raising his hand in victory. I guess the only way to beat a boxer with 3 judges and a referee behind him is knock him out.
Anyway, going back to Pacquiao vs Matthysse, I heard the the ticket price is expensive . Starting at $125 USD to $4,900 USD considering that there are no titles on the line and fight is not in Vegas. I'll just wait for it in free TV of someone will try to broadcast it in Facebook live.
That TKO win by Crawford silenced Jeff Horn's
"special" staff behind him.
If anyone remember, Jeff Horn's trainer/manager said that if Yuriorkis Gamboa
(former opponent of Crawford) could hurt Crawford, the much more bigger and strong Jeff Horn clearly could hurt him too and even stop or TKO Crawford. The resulf of that fight is TKO by Crawford. Also the reference of that trainer is, Jeff Horn able to matched Manny Pacquaio's power in close combat but again, Pacquiao is already 38 yrs old back back then and there was an accidental cuts on Pacquiao’s hairline and over his left eye. And the result, a questioned decision.
Too much confidence at it's finest.
