WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
TSZYU
“I can take a punch and I can keep moving forward. Have I been able to show it in front of the whole of Australia in front of the whole world? Not yet. I’ve let my skills do the talking.
“And you know, hopefully this fight brings something different to just skills, but it brings a beast out of me.
“I want to make it a fight. I don’t want to make it a clinic, I want to make it a fight.
“I’ve got a lot hanging [on this]. I’ve got a lot to prove,” he said. “And for me, this is the this is the beginning.
“I was there at the Jeff Horn-Manny Pacquiao fight, and as soon as it finished, I looked on my manager said, ‘Make this happen. I know I’ll win.’
“Two years later … here we are.”

HORN
“There’s a bit of spice because their team are extremely cocky and they believe they’re going to run over the top of me.
“They think they’re going to run into the future.
“Tim’s certainly feeding off his name. His dad is an absolute legend of the sport, and I can’t blame him.

“But all he wants to do is break out of his shadow.
“He’d hate me saying it, but that’s exactly what he’s trying to do. It’d be so hard having a dad who’s an absolute legend, and he’s got a far way to go to become a legend himself.”
TALE OF THE TAPE
With an expected crowd of 16,000 in attendance, Horn v Tszyu is set to be the biggest live boxing event in the world this year, while the bout will be beamed around the world to millions in Europe, America and Asia.

EXPERT PREDICTIONS FOR FIGHT
Jeff Horn will knock out Tim Tszyu.
That is the prediction of three of Australia’s most recognisable world champions, Hall of Famer Jeff Fenech, Anthony Mundine and Billy Dib.
They all believe Tszyu (15-0, 11KO) has bitten off more than he can chew in rugged Queenslander Horn (20-2-1, 13KO), who is the heavy underdog for Wednesday’s super-welterweight fight in Townsville.
The undefeated Tszyu, 25, can expect a rough night if 32-year-old Horn has a big first round, Fenech declared.

“I see Jeff Horn winning and it could be by stoppage,” Fenech said.
“If he can beat Tim Tszyu to his punches like the punches he hit Michael Zerafa with, he’ll knock anybody out.
“The most important thing for Jeff Horn is that he has to have a great first round.
“In the rematch against Zerafa that’s exactly what he did, he hurt him in the opening exchanges, Zerafa wasn’t as confident anymore and Horn took the fight off him.
“I watched the Zerafa and Horn fight over and over and saw what Jeff brought to the second fight, I’m favouring Jeff Horn.
“It’s hard to say that because I’ve got huge respect for Tim, but the more I watch and the more I think and analyse, if Jeff fights the right fight – which he should do early – he should win.
