Great here come the RIP boxing all across social media, time to ditch social media tonight.

Mayweather's in trouble then because this is exactly what McGregor could do. Look aggressive while swinging at air most of the time and convince the judges he won.

Fake it till you make it

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

LOL As if other BOXERS haven't already tried.

A guy just tried it and won...

 

[sf2fanatic]

Normally don't care for Stephen A. but he's on point this time.

I agree.




I'm not a Stephen A fan either

 

[lightskintwin]

Boxing had a chance to be relevant again but no one watching this result is going to become fans of the sport. Boxing needs to die asap

Please stop with this nonsense.

 

[dragonzdogma]

Seriously? 117-111?!?!?!? Was that person drunk and high?

In Azteca they said it was 113 115.
Lol

[loki 16]

You're blind. He clearly won those first 8 rounds as the aggressor. Manny dominated the 9 - 11 and the 12th was up in the air.

Lmao He might of won a few round but Manny was out landing him for most of the fight. This was a robbery.

 

[EdmondD]

I love when Teddy Atlas loses his shit and his voice goes hoarse.

 

[pixelation]

Wait, I'm late on this, Pacman lost?

Stupid ass people will see the "L" and assume he did. I am livid right now, i despise judges and that stupidly corrupt assed ref.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

He's wrong as usual. For one, this happens in UFC/MMA all the time. Secondly, fights like this existing are as bad for boxing as bad decisions. This matchup was a joke from the start. ESPN was selling wolf tickets with this shit.

 

[BradC00]

Closed my stream on my laptop and booted up PUBG...mr samuraix ask me if pac won and i said yea, and then booted up reddit and this thread and my mouth dropped. WTF!

 

[Vanillalite]

Twitter is amazing right now lol

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Teddy has no chill. It's the best.

 

[franknbeans]

atlas gonna snatch the belt from horn and give it to manny

 

[Officerrob]

Teddy Atlas is the best

 

[HStallion]

The funny thing about all the "BOXING IS DEAD" posts is that they don't seem to realize they actually contribute to the opposite. Its like the Streisand effect where they're just alerting people that they should be paying attention to boxing because something crazy happened that has everyone "up in arms".

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Why was pacquiao fighting this guy?

 

[lightskintwin]

A guy just tried it and won...

Jeff Horn got a hometown decision against an aging past his prime legend.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

This was one of the worst moments I can remember. This was a complete failure in competence. 117-111? How in God's name can a human with any understanding of boxing or math for that matter score this match in such a way. I thought the Andre Ward fight was bad, this is on a entire new level of shin-fuckery. What's worst is this has been a really good year for boxing so far and the fringe fans that have come back to the sport see shit like tonight and go back to whatever they watch or read instead of investing in this.


Shameful display of scruples.

 

[Farsi]

This is such an awkward interview, I’m kinda loving it

 

[Chumley]

Great here come the RIP boxing all across social media, time to ditch social media tonight.

Judges paving the way for Conor McGhost to take over boxing

Boxing is over.

 

[KahooTs]

Atlas is a clown, Bradley knew what was up but got shut down and spoken over.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Nah fam. Nah.

 

[BunnyBear]

Lmao He might of won a few round but Manny was out landing him for most of the fight. This was a robbery.

Don't be a peanut. Honestly, who had the best of the first 8 rounds? It was pretty telling.

Boxing has such a pro-big fighter bias.

The Andre Ward fight wasn't bad. I rewatched that fight and the scorecards still made sense.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Amazing seeing the difference between ESPN commentery and Boxnation.

 

[InertiaXr]

Any idea what both of these guys got paid for this?

 

[Zok310]

pffft, Floyd gonna KO CM

 

[BadAss2961]

Well Bradley knows all about getting a gift decision against Manny.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Any idea what both of these guys got paid for this?

Manny $10 million
Horn $100,000

 

[ghostofsparta]

My hate for Argentina grows!!!

 

[Vanillalite]

Cormier....

 

[lightskintwin]

Amazing seeing the difference between ESPN commentery and Boxnation.

What's the difference?

 

[NervousXtian]

Explain how Manny won. Horn won 7 or 8 rounds. The commentary was awful from Teddy tonight.

Manny was out worked out punched and deserved to lose.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Any idea what both of these guys got paid for this?

Horn got 500k +pct of the gate.

 

[Syphon Filter]

SAS comes on, TV goes off.

how come? he is great!

 

[Bsigg12]

Explain how Manny won. Horn won 7 or 8 rounds. The commentary was awful from Teddy tonight.

Manny was out worked out punched and deserved to lose.

Horn was wreckless and wild. Nothing he landed was clean.

 

[King Kovu]

Y'all need to chill out. Boxing ain't dead and it's not going to die soon

 

[Officerrob]

ESPN was biased as fuck for Manny. They called landed Horn punches for Pac.

Boxing is over.

Your whole shtick is tiring, how i wish you'd drop it.

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

Horn won this fight. It was close and if Horn gets better training, he can be something.

 

[lightskintwin]

Explain how Manny won. Horn won 7 or 8 rounds. The commentary was awful from Teddy tonight.

Manny was out worked out punched and deserved to lose.

LOL Horn put up a good fight but missed a hell of a lot of punches and got hit flush by a lot. The 9th round could've easily been scored 10-8 for Pacquaio which obviously the judges didn't score.

 

[Instro]

I would have given it to Pacquiao, but commentary was the usual dogshit Manny dick riding. The fight was a lot closer than ESPN was trying to tell.everyone.

 

[Syphon Filter]

It is relevant, ggg vs canelo this fall. Boxing is here to stay, too good of a sport.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Y'all need to chill out. Boxing ain't dead and it's not going to die soon

Stuff like this will make it look worse.


Lol 15% total punches wins a fight..

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

What's the difference?

Boxnation had Horn as the winner, and pretty much by 115-113, from what I have heard of the ESPN overage it was a robbery.

 

[Chumley]

Your whole shtick is tiring, how i wish you'd drop it.

Get a sense of humor.

 

[dragonzdogma]

You're blind. He clearly won those first 8 rounds as the aggressor. Manny dominated the 9 - 11 and the 12th was up in the air.

True, but I'm also curious to know if the penalty points were considered.
