Jeff Horn loses to Michael Zerafa

[Alexandoy]

Fighting as a middleweight, Australian champion Jeff Horn suffered a big upset when he was knocked down by Michael Zerafa in the 9th round. Horn was dropped twice and that ended the fight for a TKO win by Zerafa. It can be remembered that Horn defeated Manny Pacquiao in 2017 by a unanimous decision. Zerafa now has a fight record of 27-3, 16 KO while Horn suffered his 2nd loss against 19 wins, 1 draw and 13 KOs.

Why would Jeff Horn deviate from his routine if it has been working?
He went off his diet (binging on junk food) in preparation of his first higher weight level , but that clearly backfired! His trainer, Glenn Rushton, should share the blame too. He should have known better.

I agree with what Rushton said, if Jeff Horn is going to be fighting at Middleweight then his body structure needs to change and that doesn't mean eating pizza and drinking coke.

Jeff Horn went out on it the wrong way, i.e diet-wise. But I have to side with Hova here. Where was his trainner when all of this was taking place? Jeff should definitely learn from this - let it come as a lesson.
