How do you even watch this fight, it's not on ESPN. It's only on ESPN+?

Look at some internet feed sites. You might find something.

Either that or dish out $5/month for ESPN+ (assuming you're in the US). There's a 7-day free trial.

The constant money grabbing for watching boxing on television is very annoying. I can't imagine it does any favors towards growing the sport either.

Listening to Box Nation talking heads trying to build up Horn is pathetic.

When the best they got is "He was a school teacher" you know it's gonna be a blowout.

Horn knocking out Crawford would be an extraordinary upset.

Wow. Close first round. Better second round for Bud. Horn moving forward looks good but didn't land much other than a heavy right.

I can't see Horn winning either. I don't think he has the endurance or defense to win rounds down the stretch.

A KO can happen in any fight at this level but looks particularly rare here for Horn, he's just not a massive puncher.

Horn is awkward and feints well but I think Crawford lands some big stuff soon, he's too fast and sharp.

great start

horn looks like he could actually deal some damage, just not sure he will remain conscious long enough to land a big one

Yeah it's over. Horn looked super tentative towards the end of the third.

As soon as Horn loses his energy and stops moving he'll be picked apart completely. That's if Crawford doesn't beat him up too badly before then.

That's already happening.

Bradley comparison to May/Hatton is apt imo

Horn gassed. Think this gassing happened during Pac but never seemed to completely run out.

He gassed vs Manny but Manny didn't have it in the tank to completely finish him.

Manny won that fight that he didn't properly train for though imo (and most observers), Horn got a big break there.

Manny Crawford would be nice, Manny still has great hand speed and angles. People act like he's done, he beat Horn without a real camp/didn't take him as seriously as he should've. He cakewalked Vargas before that. Give him a full camp vs a top fighter like TC and I think it's a better fight than most believe.

Horn is coming in from the same angle now each time. Waiting for the uppercut to come from TC and land clean.

surprised he stopped it right there, but it was over a long time ago. not sure he would have lasted another 20 seconds.

Good stoppage by Byrd. Horn was one punch away from getting ktfo.

Horn lasted longer than I thought and does have a great chin. Unfortunately, he's got nothing else.

I'm guessing that is the end of Horn then. He can certainly take a punch though - too bad he couldn't make one today (not that it would have mattered as he simply does not have the power).

He's better than a journeyman and with the dilution of belts he probably isn't the worst welterweight champion ever.

Heavyweight world titleholder Deontay Wilder has agreed to the terms offered by Anthony Joshua's camp for them to meet for the undisputed title later this year in Joshua's home country of the United Kingdom, Wilder co-manager Shelly Finkel told ESPN on Monday.
