Nothing worth trumpeting about Horn

Australian Jeff Horn, who shot to fame three years ago with his upset victory over Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao, is contemplating on retiring from boxing after recently absorbing another crushing defeat.

Horn was bamboozled in eight rounds last week by Tim Tszyu in a junior middleweight (154 lbs) contest. The unbeaten Tszyu, the son of former world junior welterweight (140 lbs) king and Russian-born Kostya Tszyu, knocked down Horn twice and consistently battered him until the referee decided to stop the fight at the end of the eighth round.
