Look at these stats lol, Pacquiao landed almost double. All boxing fights should be free since they are all fixed. I gotta say I do love Teddy for being honest as all hell lol.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Well that was a fun fight regardless. See you all again the next time Boxing dies.

 

[plainr_]

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.

I think they actually fell asleep that round.

 

[lightskintwin]

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.

Well I thought the fight was close, but I thought Manny was the clear winner.

 

[Ryhian]

The one thing I do like when these types of decisions come down is seeing these commentators go off on the decision. While this whole espn production tonight has been pretty C level, Teddy is the man.

Rofl teddy talking about not having to pay!

 

[King Kovu]

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

Horn gets the brakes beat off him by the other top 10 welterweights easily

 

[Vanillalite]

So PAC vs Horny 2 - The Screwing Continues ? LoL

He actually spitting truth

 

[Ninja Scooter]

SAS is such a no-nothing dipshit.

 

[SYNTAX182]

A close fight usually goes to the champ, Horn didn't do enough to earn that belt. Well, at least there's GGG vs Canelo next, fuckery in boxing is too deep =/

 

[lightskintwin]

I think scoring 5 rounds for Horn is a stretch but there's no way I can see 6 rounds, yet alone 7 or 8.

Milo yiunoppolis tactics calling the judges out allowing them to be targets

 

[Soapbox Killer]

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.

ESPN was selling Manny hard, no doubt. I think that really only effects the perception of the amateur fan. Those of us who watch boxing can make our own minds up and see whats there.

 

[KahooTs]

What's the difference?

They use their eyes and don't play to the blind bat's script.

 

[Turin]

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.

I agree to an extent but Top Rank getting it's biggest names on ESPN isn't a bad thing and the fight was......

Well that was a fun fight regardless. See you all again the next time Boxing dies.

Well, there you go.

This is nothing we've never seen before. Our favorite zombie sport is having a livelier year.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Do people like Manny again now?

 

[BLOODED_hands]

The stats proved it. Manny outworked Horn everywhere. This was a robbery!

Horn offers nothing for the top 5-10 fighters of his respective weight classes. He gets murked by them easily.

 

[EdmondD]

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

When Bradley agreed with him he shot a thumbs up and then patted him on the head like he's a freaking kid. Dude is ridiculous.

 

[HStallion]

They should have the rematch in the Philippines for both sides fuckery.

 

[Officerrob]

Do people like Manny again now?

No, people hate awful decisions

 

[BunnyBear]

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

Yeah I'll admit that was a bit dodgy, the ref should have called it.

But overall to portray this as a robbery is unfair to Horn, who had a big say in those first 8 rounds.

The Yanks clearly swallowed the ESPN commentary.

 

[lightskintwin]

Boxnation or ESPN?

 

[RBelong2Us]

Yoooo Bradley knew something !

One of the judges was Argentinian 😮

 

[polyh3dron]

Best poll, not enough people voted for the 3rd option though lololololol

Stats don't lie. Tale of the tape shows pacman landed double the punches of horn

 

[Jake.]

i didn't watch this live due to work, but i remember the mayweather v pac fight and the majority of dudes on here saying pac was 'robbed' when it was obvious he wasn't.

 

[webkatt]

One Argentinian judge. Rigged confirmed

"I didn't watch it but I'm going to make some pointless comment anyways"

Thank you, Jake. Very insightful.

Um no and this wasn't the same thing at all

 

[Chumley]

No

 

[sf2fanatic]

How did the American female judge give it a 117-111?

 

[Moze]

Don't see how this is bad for boxing. Pac is bad for boxing. Taking a trash mandatory and losing, fucking up his legacy even more.

 

[Ryhian]

Espn couldn't have asked for a better outcome. People actually tuning in to this show after the fight and a rematch.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

"I didn't watch it but I'm going to make some pointless comment anyways"

That's correct, Jake. Watch the fight and check the stats.

 

[lightskintwin]

Stats can be misleading though, because Boxing is scored by rounds and not overall. However I'm pretty certain if you saw the stats per round that Manny would've won that as well.

 

[Darkman M]

Crazy... but I'm glad to seeing boxing back on TV for free, and the next couple of fights look nice.

 

[HStallion]

PacMan Vs Horn 2 as the undercard for MayWeather V McGregor.

 

[PR_rambo]

I'm eternally indifferent about Manny, that has nothing to do with this terrible decision.

 

[BunnyBear]

One Argentinian judge. Rigged confirmed

You realise Horn is Australian, not Argentinian yeah? There's a difference. I have to ask because this is a Yank-heavy forum.

 

[perfectchaos007]

How did the American female judge give it a 117-111?

She was infatuated by Horn? I can't come up with anything...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the amount of post-fight mileage ESPN is getting out of this is making me real suspicious tbh

 

[polyh3dron]

Interesting twist of fate for Tim Bradley and Teddy Atlas to be calling another fight where Pacquiao got robbed.

 

[MastAndo]

Yoooo Bradley knew something !

One of the judges was Argentinian 😮

This rabbit hole goes deep.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

good decision, the Australian guy won

 

[Ryhian]

Oh god. SAS going overboard as usual with his insults. Time to turn it off.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

[Farsi]

I’m very happy how ESPN handled all the post fight stuff. That was great stuff.

 

[TraBuch]

Bradley must be feeling awkward as fuck talking about Pac getting robbed.

 

[pixelation]

I hope Pac does NOT go for a rematch with this dirty ass mofo, fight an actual boxer not some pig with gloves.
