WBO #2 Jeff Horn (16-0-1, 11 KOs) is confident he has the power to hurt and force a stoppage over boxing legend and WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs) when they clash on April 23 at a location that has yet to be decided but most likely will be the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia that holds 55,000 fans.
?I know I have the power to hurt Manny,? said Horn to Fox Sports. ?He?s been knocked down and he?s been knocked out and I?m a heavy puncher so I believe I have a real chance to bring the world title to Australia.?
Pacquiao suffered a knockout loss to Juan Marquez in 2012 but has since scored impressive victories over Brandon Rios, Timothy Bradley, Chris Algieri and Jessie Vargas. Manny dropped a twelve round decision to Floyd Mayweather in 2015.
Horn is coming off a stoppage victories over former world champions Ali Funeka in December and Randall Bailey last April.
