Horn did look like a professional though. One thing I've noticed on this forum is that yall have a hard time evaluating "crude, ugly" fighters and dismiss them as bums.

Regardless, this will be Mcgregor's very first pro fight. He just won't have the experience to do much of anything.

Exactly. An example of a crude and ugly fighter giving Floyd a tough, competitive fight is Marcos Maidana. Maidana was also a world champion who had defeated guys like Victor Ortiz, Adrien Broner, and an old Erik Morales, while McGregor hasn't boxing competitively since....when? As an teenager amateur is what people have said.

Floyd's fans have very little to worry about in this fight. The best hope McGregor has is if Floyd suffers a freak injury, like slipping on a wet spot on the canvas and tearing his ACL in the process or some shyt like that.

The latest odds I've read is that McGregor is a +550 underdog, but they are missing an extra zero at the end as far as I'm concerned.

I've never seen Horn fight, but as I watch him fight right now, this guy is one of the worst kind of guys to fight if you are an older fighter.

Awkward, dirty, solid stamina, hard to time, better than he appears to be, etc.


He's definitely not on the level of a Porter, who does that rugged style at a higher level, but he's a solid WW.

This.
