Pacland's Philippine Boxing Forum

“Well, you know, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the type of tactics that he uses in the ring,” Crawford said. “But if [that’s what Rushton said], that’s his word on how his fighter fights. Of course he’s gonna back his fighter up with whatever his fighter’s doing in the ring.”

When Horn (18-0-1, 12 KOs) upset Manny Pacquiao last summer, two clashes of heads, each ruled accidental, opened cuts on Pacquiao’s face July 2 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia, Horn’s hometown.

The first laceration opened along Pacquiao’s hairline in the sixth round. The second cut opened in the seventh round, over Pacquiao’s left eye.

Horn later overcame severe trouble during the ninth round and won a controversial unanimous decision (117-111, 115-113, 115-113).

The Philippines’ Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38 KOs) was criticized following his surprising defeat for not retaliating when Horn repeatedly roughed him up. Crawford assured Tuesday that won’t be an issue for him if Horn begins bending boxing’s rules during their fight.

“Oh,” Crawford said, “he’ll find out come fight time.”
