So I don't know to much about fighting but I like watching occasionally. Should I bother watching or not? Also e
what time Aus time does this actually start?

Fox are saying the main event starts around 12:30pm but it can vary depending on the undercard fights.
They usually drag it out a bit too, telecast starts at 10am.
Definitely will be one worth watching and hoping for the Aussie upset.
Big day for fight fans with a few Aussies going at it in the UFC also if you're into that, Robbie Whittaker is defending his title in the Main Event.
Gonna need a few TVs to keep up with it all!

How’s that? He beat Pac-Man fair and square.

The result was not well received outside Australia, home down decision.
Pacquiao outboxed & outlanded him for the majority of the fight.
But winners are grinners so who cares!

Wasn’t well received purely based on reputation, the judges got it right as did the recount. Horn won more rounds and the fight.

Watched the fight earlier, gee that Crawford is a great boxer. Had our boy done from the first round. Very impressive. This is a guy that got shot in the head and drove himself to the hospital. Tough bugger.

I disagree, Pacman landed way more and at a much better strike rate.
Horn didn't get going til late and after the ref was about to call the fight off.
Just my opinion anyway.

One thing for sure, Horn is 1 tough SOB. He took a pounding today and just kept swinging!
Would've liked to see the ref let it go a bit longer, he was gone but wasn't giving up.

No Horn wasn't disgraced but he came up against a champion today. Was out of his league.

Many people think Crawford's the best boxer in the world (not me - Lomachenko).

Hopefully we see the heavyweight match-ups this year: Joshua, Wilder, Fury. I'll back AJ to beat Wilder, Fury to beat both of them.

Id back AJ too, if I trusted boxing.

Met and had photos with Mike Tyson last week, my guess would be his around 5/9 which is amazing considering the size of the champion boxers he defeated, however the thickness of his neck or lack there of and his chest and arms were massive, he was like a big bull. Was a friendly chap , was certainly floating like a butterfly
