Comments Thread For: Crawford: Is Ref Supposed to Let Horn Head-Butt, Hold & Hit?

[IBOX4LIFE]

Nah..........

True, but AB still puts azzes in seats. He's probably made just as much as Crawford and he hasn't performed nearly as well!

AB has made way more money than most of these current boxers. Remember he has his own promotional company. I believe TBC is getting close to 3MIL for this fight. AB has done that a few times!

remember Crawford called Ward p4p n1, the guy who based his career on head-butts and holding and hitting, so you better dont bring any excuses, just go there and fight, btw Crawford isnt clean himself either, watch all the rubbit punches and punches behind the head to push the guy down against Postol

[Boxing Logic]

Yes, he is. Those things are allowed in Vegas! Didn't you watch Kovalev-Ward, Craw??

Horn's only chance is that Byrd comes down with the flu and Tony Weeks steps in as replacement.

Did you forget - like many others - that Robert Byrd reffed Kov/Ward 1?

Please don't be like the Lomachenko naysayers who pick against him emphatically and then refuse to give credit afterwards.

Crawford will toy with Horn.

At the end of the day may the best man win, I'm just a boxing fan if Bud does the business good on him, you can't not give credit where it's due.

The ref will hopefully stop the fight in time to keep Horn safe. Horn is going to take a prolonged beating of the sort where it's hard to know exactly when to stop it.

I didn't see a problem with the ref in that fight, did you?

The judges were the issue from what I saw.

Horn fights dirty. Glad Crawford is drawing attention to it now instead of after the fight. If you points things like this out after the fight, you come off as a whiner. It's just the truth. Horn fights very dirty and basically tries to impose his size advantage on you.

You didn't see a problem with the ref? Seriously?

In addition to questioning the judges' decision in Kovalev-Ward 1, many people (this writer {Thomas Hauser} included) felt that referee
Robert Byrd had interpreted the rules in a way that allowed Andre to lead with his head and grapple rather than box for much of the fight.

True words...and expect the same fight from Horn this time around. TC just has to watch out early and not get caught. He needs to expect Horn to come out aggressively like he did against Pac. Too many people forget this is a styles game.
