Pacquiao vs. Horn Weigh-In: Results and Twitter Reaction for Pre-Fight Event

The next step is the ring for Manny Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs) and Jeff Horn (16-0-1, 11 KOs) after Friday's weigh-in.

According to Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports, Pac-Man checked in at 146 pounds, while Horn was one pound heavier. They will square off for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia, on Saturday in the United States and Sunday local time.

Mark Zambrano of GMA News in the Philippines tweeted a look into Friday's weigh-in:

On paper, Horn has some advantages.

He checks in at 5'9", while Pacquiao is 5'5½"; however, he only has a one-inch reach advantage. The Australian Horn is nine years Pacquiao's junior at 29 and will have the hometown fans behind him.

Still, Pacquiao has the significant experience edge and is accustomed to headlining marquee fights. This is a step up for Horn, although Pac-Man praised him coming into the fight, per Gilbert Manzano of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, saying, "We wanted to give Horn a chance. He's undefeated. He has earned it."

The undefeated record for Horn didn't stop Brian Campbell of CBS Sports from saying this "feels like a legitimate step down in class" for Pacquiao, pointing to the fact Horn has never fought outside of Australia or New Zealand.

The opportunity is there for the challenger to make a name for himself, but he hasn't fought anyone near Pacquiao's level in his career.

According to OddsShark, Pacquiao (-650) is a comfortable favorite over Horn (+475).
