The only advantage Horn has..

The 5-feet-9 Horn weighed in at 147 pounds for the biggest fight of his career, a welterweight title shot at Pacquiao on Sunday afternoon in Horn’s hometown of Brisbane, Australia. The 5-feet-6 Pacquiao weighed in at 146 pounds, one beneath the welterweight limit of 147.







Horn hasn’t beaten a welterweight contender in his prime since he turned pro in March 2013 and will take a steep step up in competition

This fight probably ends somewhere around the 5th or 6th round.

Horn will be game for a couple rounds, then Pacquiao will cruise to UD.

Wow Pac's head is about twice the size of Horn's. Looks odd, un-natural.

I guess that is an advantage for Horn: more surface area to hit.

Does the offical weight include Manny Pacquiao's mobile phone. Apparently he never parts with it and will be allowed to use it inbetween rounds.

He obviously enjoys Trump's tweets

Lol. I hope Horn puts on a good performance, he should probably drink some covfefe before the fight, it could help.

I just watched Horn on youtube knockout some guy. Horn looks like a big target with little defence for the 38 year old senator Pacqiao. I hope Horn puts up a fight, but I sense a wipe out here.

I watched a couple of his fights the other day. Both of them he was dropped but they were very entertaining and he was stepping up significantly. Well one he was sort of dropped, his hand hit the canvas and he was hurt. He has heart, comes forward and seems to have decent power which might make this an interesting Manny fight but I feel he stays to long in the inside and takes to long to wind up punches when hes in that close. If manny can capitalise on that, well good for him. And yea can't see much of a defence. Hopefully though, he wins, I'll be rooting for him. It's our biggest international fight here since Roy Jones Danny Green.

The fact that Floyd is fighting Conor makes Horn seem like a top three welterweight.

yea only way Mayweather fight has any interest to me is if Mayweather decides to do UFC.. Even then really just a circus act.

Yeah right, that makes this fight ok? Get a grip dude.

War horn!

Will Manny be allowed to take selfie's on his way to the ring again? Will he be able to check his text messages in between rounds? Those are the things I am most concerned about...

Amazing, probably the biggest fight ever to air on ESPN and they have an mls game run into the coverage.

Yeah. They insult the sh*t out of Boxing all the time.

Sugar Shane kid just lost a close decision in a decent fight on this under card...this broadcast definitely good for boxing.

Teddy Atlas

The bell rang prematurely at the end there. I doubt it would've made a difference, but considering he needed a KO to win that's f*cked.

I like Teddy but it's like watching a high wire act, feel like guy might come off the rails any second.

Hope this guy Jarret Owen doesn't get hurt here against Conlan , why they hell have a mismatch like this/

Teddy's got Timothy Bradley with him. Maybe Teddy will behave tonight.

There is nothing Teddy can do to avoid being the worst announcer in history. He's oddly quiet tonight, hopefully he's sick.
