In a match dubbed the "Battle of Brisbane," Horn has the opportunity of a lifetime to beat a living legend on home soil in front of a partisan crowd.
In a match dubbed the "Battle of Brisbane," Horn has the opportunity of a lifetime to beat a living legend on home soil in front of a partisan crowd.
Pacquiao, 38, defends his world crown against a boxer who is an unknown quantity outside of his own nation.
Pac
Man has appeared sharp in his recent outings, and a fight against
29-year-old Horn is well within his capabilities, despite the obvious
age difference.

Horn is a rising star in Australia, and with a stadium full of support to provide wind in his sails, he has a puncher's chance.
However,
Pac Man will be aware of the cauldron he is stepping in to and will be
looking for a quick and decisive victory against the younger man.
Pacquiao
remains one of the elite fighters on the planet. It appeared he had
lost his edge in recent times, but victories against Timothy Bradley Jr.
and Jessie Vargas have given Pacquiao traction and momentum, and it is unlikely Horn can fashion a win—even in his own backyard.
