KAHIT kontrobersiyal ang kanyang panalo kay Pambansang Kamao Manny Pacquiao, naging hambog na si WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn na sinabing ang laban nina Floyd Mayweather Jr at UFC champion Conor McGregor ay isang “circus” at kapwa niya tatalunin ang dalawa.
Muling sasagupa si Horn kay Pacquiao sa kondisyong sa Brisbane, Australia gaganapin ang laban at itinakda na ang rematch nila sa Nobyembre.
“It’s definitely a bit of a circus,” sabi ni Horn sa Omnisport hinggil sa Mayweather-MCGregor. ”Unfortunately, these guys are getting paid massive money and others are getting paid a lot less and they’re a lot better fighters.”
Ani Horn, magaang na laban ito para kay Mayweather na dating pound-for-pound king sa professional boxing.
“Mayweather is a legend of the sport and he should take the fight down easily. It’s not a must-see fight, that’s for sure. If you’re interested in UFC or boxing you want to see your sport win,” diin ni Horn. “I know a lot of people don’t want to see it and are not interested because it’s such a circus but I’ll definitely be tuning in and hopefully boxing will win.”
Gusto ng Aussie boxer na makaharap si McGregor at tinawanan ang pagpapanggap ni Mayweather na hindi siya nito kilala.
“I’d definitely consider fighting McGregor, I’d beat him and he wouldn’t be able to bully me in there. I’ve got the boxing skills that would tear him apart,” dagdag ni Horn. “I’ve got the boxing ability to be able to beat Mayweather.
They’re calling me my wife’s name, my wife’s Jo Horn, she can beat me in a fight, that’s for sure!”
