"I'm just excited, man," said Mundine afterwards.
"I'm like a lion in a cage right now, I'm ready to eat it."
Mundine had received heavy financial penalties if he had not managed to bear the weight of the fight and said he was not afraid to weigh less than 75 kg during a pre-fight weigh-in on Friday.
Horn said that he felt good and attributed his opponent's aggression to the frustration of having to lose weight.
"He has to fight to gain weight with the push there," said the 30-year-old.
