Boxing Betting Tips
As great as Crawford has been there is something about Horn’s recent performances that stands out. When he defeated Pacquiao he garnered considerable credibility in the fight community. Beyond all of that the price is ridiculous on Crawford. Sure, he is a proven champion and an understandable favorite. But Horn is by far the superior value and getting much more of a price than he should based on his ability.
