Well, for about half an hour until the 4pm NRL game starts. But thanks for following along today in what was arguably the greatest ever result for an Aussie boxer - nobody gave Jeff Horn a chance and he shocked the world.
We've got another big fight blog next weekend as Rob Whittaker fights for the interim middleweight title at UFC 213. See you then.
Here's that Horn quote from earlier when he called out Floyd. Brilliant.
Seriously, social media is just a waterfall of American tears right now.
Teddy Atlas basically sums up every American right now. Perfect.
"In the first couple of rounds I thought I was outboxing him."
"It's massive for the sport in our country ... I can remember wanting to be a world champion when I was a little kid." Horn is stoked as he talks to the panel after the fight.
That ninth round was pivotal. Horn was out on his feet, but stayed alive and then Manny never really threatened to put him to sleep again after that.
The vitriol coming from our friends over in the US (and elsewhere) is truly beautiful.
