Would of ought it and watched it IF it was a reasonable price , but $69 foxtel can stick it up there ass. AJ -- rUIZ WON'T BE THAT EXPENSIVE . Its a matter of principle , could off said to mates , stick a tenner in the jar and we will split it , but fook that , invite people around you can't expect them to pay , and 70 bucks is ridiculous ,,, local pub would'nt put it on manager said they wanted $3500 , and it would draw 20- 30 people

Bit of shocker. Horns no middleweight though.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Michael Zerafa def. Jeff Horn — via 9th round KO

After dropping the former WBO welterweight champion in the second round, Zerafa outclassed his more-fancied opponent throughout, before finishing the job late on to claim the WBA Oceania middleweight title.

Behind a stiff left jab and a thunderous right hand, Zerafa made Horn’s jump from welterweight to middleweight look rather unwise.

Zerafa was hurt at times — including a third round that saw Horn mount a comeback of sorts — but ultimately just had too much.

Horn looked sluggish and without rhythm as Zerafa picked him off on the counter time and time again.

[Lairdy]

Correct. Zeraffa fought a brilliant fight.

Ring rust and sluggishness aside, I think Horn did alright.

Could Horn be a handy middleweight, yes. Did he make a mistake fighting Zeraffa straight up, yes. I don't understand why they skipped light middleweight; Horn has gone from being a monster at welterweight, to a small middleweight.

Zerafa fought Brook at 154. Don't see why this couldn't be either.

Bad ko

What the fook was wrong with that referee , did Horn shag his wife or something , could'nt stand up straight , wobbling , his corner on the apron wanting it stopped and he still let Horn take more , needs looking at.

And why the fook did'nt Horns corner jump in the ring and make him call it off , If i was Horn i would have a serious look at that tape and see just who is looking after who

Full credit to Michael. The over hand / straight right worked a treat. I think many overlooked him based on the brook fight.
Middleweight May have been a bridge too far for Jeff. Good luck whatever is next for the hornet
