Horn’s camp have admitted they may have to talk about retirement if their charge suffers a second loss to Zerafa.

  • Bitch plz! You got KTFO by light hitting Zerafa, a rematch will only cement that you don’t belong @ Middle weight.

  • Yo Roy, for your info that “light” hitting Zerafa would punch you so hard your mans thong would give you a wedgie EASY!

    • Poor argument, Gene. Even a #500 rated pro boxer would KO most commentators here.

      Compared to other middleweights, Zerafa is an average puncher – neither great nor bad.

      • Nah, there are some people in here who just down vote everything, especially if its not popular or they don’t have enough brains to understand it. Their problem really.

  • Horn did what he did. He came in as a kid with brains. Got an enormous opportunity. And it worked out. He was then silly enough to think he was world class. It’s all now about ego and health degradation. Sad.

    • its not sad he was genuinely sick on the night of the zerafa fight I was with him, its a very tough game thats it

  • Not sure why Horn is even getting this rematch unless there was a rematch clause. It was pretty much a one sided beating.

  • Horn reminds me of the little pesky kid on the playground that gets on your nerves! He never stops getting in the way until you lay him out once and for all………

  • Horn needs to give it up and RETIRE!

    He’s a C level fighter at best and his 15 minutes of fame are over!

    He’s gonna end up with brain damage if he doesn’t stop immediately, it might already be too late.

  • Horn had is chance with Zerafa. But Zerafa is not making sense bringing up a fight with Rivan Cesaire (the 1st fight) vs Jeff Horn as a draw. It was a technical draw. It was in round 3 where Horn headbutted the guy and opened a cut. Zerafa said he was there and it was a draw, so how can he think he is someone. Horn was a fighter from 2014 to 2017. And his time is past by. Horn is known for leading with his head and causing a cut on himself or on the opponent. Horn may be legit at 154, but he wants to make the money at 160. If Horn was offered good money to fight Carlos Adames (top 5) of Top Rank in the states, he probably knew he would lose that fight. Horn must not want to fly to the states, take a loss, and then try to chase the Zerafa rematch with back to back losses.

  • I been with Jeff Horn and this guy can really crack,
    I think thats middleweight is approaching his limit probably better at jnr middleweight, most of the commentary is rubbish little boxing knowledge shown, he fights a certain way and he is a good fighter period
