    I like that comment from the ref there--"Show me something in this round or I'm stopping the fight".

    ESPN and Teddy Atlas have gotten everything they could have dreamed and more from this fight.

    I agree. Seven years ago Horn would have been toast.

    Gotta say, despite clearly losing tonight, Horn's acquitted himself well. Showing himself to be a warrior in this 10th. No quit in this guy.

    Does he have enough left to have a chance of a KO in these last two rounds? I doubt it.

    Both guys are missing terribly. Not much being those punches.

    Wow. That Horn guy is pure guts. Also a dirty mofo. That fight could have been in the Garden in the 50's.

    Wow. Just a phenomenal fight. I'm not really a boxing fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed that.

    Impossible for me not to project what we saw tonight toward Mayweather-McGregor. That fight's not going to be close.

    WHAT???!!

    This is the kind of crap that causes people to say that boxing is rigged.

    Bradley called it though.

    I didn't see it that way. Manny landed more clean punches.

    I don't think I've ever typed these words before, but I can't wait to hear what Stephen A Smith has to say about this.

    Horn needs to get his vocal cords torn, sounds like he's on helium.
