Most likely a repeat of the Zerafa versus Kell Brook fight, where a game Michael went the distance, but took a lot of punishment.

But they are beating the drum to get the good folk of Bendigo to lob, and to start the dollars flowing into Mainevent with a bit of publicity sniping:

So the rematch is on. Seems to be some comments from Zerafa's camp criticising Horn for excising his right to a rematch - cant see why, it was in the contract and he's got the right to a rematch. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. Did Horn take the first fight for granted and not train as he needed?? I think these excuses/comments take away from Michael's victory. I look forward to it.

Agree ,,, Seen something on facebook , today , argument between Horns trainer and Zerafa ,,, Rushton says Zerafa , cost Horn a couple of million bucks , cos he lost the fight , what a wally , Zerafa , gave it right back put him in his place , told him we can see now why no one likes you , said he taking the rematch in Brisbane cos he's gonna do the same again , He told Rushton , there was a rematch clause but not for Brisbane , but he don't care cos the same result will happen ,, Rushton says to him you got famous cos you won one fight , Zerafa gives it back and so did Horn .

This Rushton really does come across has a silly fella

When Rushton mentioned a fight with Canelo after getting hammered by Crawford Jeff
Should have jumped ship.
The fight zerafa v brooks showed zerafas right hand
And Brooks is a lot better than Jeffs previous opponents other than Crawford and Manny.Pacqio.Jeff has been dropping his left hand and also overstetching with his right hand.Rushton is avery game trainer all the best

In hindsight, I think the signs were there quite early in the first fight that Horn may have cut corners in his training. I thought he could've been having a 'flat' day, but his comments afterwards confirmed he hadn't applied himself right for the fight.

Added to this, I think Zerafa fought the fight of his life. I also think a refocused and recalibrated Jeff Horn will stop Zerafa in the rematch.
