Bud may not let this go the distance.

Horn is shît! Straight up!

I think it's harsh to say he's poo - his heart and toughness are world class.
Bud is a VERY special fighter.

Credit to him. He did show good heart. DIdn't want to give up and kept coming forward even with no gameplan at some stages. Ref stoppage was fair. Bud a level above him.

Spence has spoke. Well kinda.

Crawford is special - Can't wait to see him vs Spence.


Fair play to Horn - he's a school PE teacher who somehow turned himself into an elite-level gatekeeper - that's impressive.

In other news...
How many times have late-night BN fans heard..,
"My real name was Adrian, but I needed a hard-sounding name" while you're coming down from coffee and the fight before bed ?

Just watched it now. Horn was totally outclassed as I knew he would be, but disappointing he couldn’t even last the distance. Crawford is probably my favourite fighter to watch right now, absolutely brilliant skills and very aggressive to boot.

I just watched it as well. Crawford was brilliant. He's no 1 for me at the moment. Can't wait to watch him again next time out. Hopefully a unification

Good call from the ref to step in, it was getting to that time, Crawford was opening Horn up and although a lot of what Crawford threw missed at the stoppage the ones that were landing were hurting Horn who took his lumps tonight, there's plenty of title fight when a guy is totally outclassed but doesn't try anything to make something happen and freezes but Horn tonight was totally outclassed, lost every round but never gave up trying to land something, he caught Crawford with a couple of nice single shots but never hurt him

Crawford was on another level as expected, fought southpaw all night and nailed Horn time and again with clean lead left hands and he done a good job of avoiding Horn's wild lunges, Crawford's countering was on point as well and once he started to visably hurt Horn in the 8th, it was only a matter of time before he opened him up, Crawford's a thinking fighter, very patient but once he lets loose, his speed and accuracy are too much to handle, excellent performance and looking forward to seeing him in some big fights up at Welterweight

I agree, the stoppage was at the perfect time.

Glenn rushton made a proper dinlo of himself the way he carried on before the fight

They rattled Crawford tho, they knew they were up against it so any thing they could do was justifiable.
Terence is a proper special talent, best out there right now.

From what the US comms lads were saying about Crawford in the weigh in he was fuming and wound up like never before.
So many good fights at 147 now if they can get past the politics.

From what I've read about Crawford and what I've seen of him in the ring, he seems like the kind of guy you shouldn't even be trying to rattle. Hank Lundy tried it a couple of years ago. Crawford beat him up and gave him the sort of look after the referee jumped in that said that's what you get for talking shitt about me. Nasty man in the ring, love watching him.
