Why do the majority of American boxing fans still think Pac-Horn was a ROBBERY?

Canadian here. Pac won

Close fight, thought Horn edged it personally. Most of the people screaming robbery can't have watched the fight, was a close fight.

Pac clearly won, please dont hype up horn coz if crawford beats him badly, it wont be a top 5 win for crawford as expected. But underdogs can win. :boxing::fu2::fu2:

Im from nigeria but live in america and i thought horn won but pac had the cleaner work so i can see why some would argue for him. It was close

You only call the compubox numbers garbage because they don't support your statement that the fight was very close. Compubox may not be perfect but they are neutral and just write down what they see. They didn't see this even fight you saw. One judge scored the fight 117 to 111 for Horn. That's 9 rounds for Horn and 3 rounds for Pacquiao. No honest judge could possibly give Horn 9 of the 12 rounds.

Any close fight where the favourite loses is a robbery on NSB.

I am a former army boxer and long time fight fan and I score my own fights and pay no attention to the commentators. That fight WAS a robbery and Pacquiao deserved to win by many points. Hell, the the punch counters had Pacquiao landing 180 punches to only 90 punches landed by Horn and they just count punches and don't care who wins. That's an average of less than 8 landed punches a round for Horn compared to an average 15 punches a round landed by Pacquiao. Horn only wins if you give him extra points for headbutts, headlocks, choke holds, holding while hitting and mauling and tripping. It's not just Americans who think Pacquiao got robbed. The world knows Pacquiao got robbed. The commentators called it a robbery because it was a robbery.

Close fight, could have gone either way. Ugly fights are harder to score.

American here, I thought Horn won.

Didn't really get all the pacterds that complained that Horn got robbed. Same thing with Bradley. Bias'd commentary people can't think for themselves. You can say it was a close fight but robbery is just silly. Pacman got pinned against the ropes and bullied by the bigger fighter. Glad that doofus Atlas got taken off of commentary. So disrespectful with his hateful bias'd interview to horn.

Yes, people are influenced by commentary. A big reason why idiots still think Wilder got special treatment in the Ortiz fight because the commentators, Al Berstein and Paul Malianaggi, were ignorant of New York state commission rules. So idiots keep pushing that fake news. Jim Lampley will call out "big right hand" to single to the audience their favorite fighter has landed a significant punch, despite it not actually landing. It's part of the game that we should not accept.

american? you mean boxing fan's? pac clearly won, if fights were scored on headlocks, headbutts and elbows then yeah Horn would of rightly won. And this is coming from someone who was saying Horn would not be blasted out early and was tough and skilled when everyone said he was a random bum.

I had Pac winning. Can't remember my card, i think it was 8-4 or something like that.

Ive only watched it the one time but I thought Pac clearly won the fight.

I don't think american fans were the ones calling it a robbery, I saw the fight just based on the rumours and didn't even think it was close to any recent robberies.

I noticed that anyone who likely watched the fight on ESPN still call this fight a robbery. When the rest of the world saw a close fight that could have gone either way. Are people still influenced by commentary? You would think that the majority of us being hard-core boxing fans wouldn't be influenced. The compubox numbers for that fight are garbage. Horn's work wasn't always neat or technically great, but he was seriously effective and landed clean hurtful punches in the majority of the rounds. Yes he was very physical, overly at times, and used that to his advantage, but that shouldn't come into the scoring, it's a separate conversation about tactics, the only thing you can argue is whether a point or two deduction would have influenced the score. This fight was NOT a robbery. I see Horn brings handful for any WW, his physical strength, chin, durability, and heart are elite, and for that reason he is underrated. Stop trying to throw American fight fans under the bus. How you came to that conclusion is beyond me. Bud is going to whoop his ass like he stole something. You won’t have to worry about this fight being close lol...
