Yep 100% fake. It was rigged. Weak ass arm punching . Actually disappointed with most of the comments here on boxing scene forum. Thought that a lot of people here actually were fellow boxers and could see through this ****. But funny how many see this as a legit fight. Mac allowed to save face with May winning in end. Did May actually throw any punches in 1st few rounds? May was literally walking forward, no boxing footwork. Even my non boxing mates saw that there was something not right. 100% rigged. Mac, although a crap boxer can easily hit harder than what he was doing. May's punches on his cash cow were like that of a loving mum scolding her child.
I think Horn will be stopped within 6 rounds. Crawford got a longer reach and a sharper shooter. The horse hair gloves are just so he can get his knockout sooner than later just in case as Pacquiao couldn't' do it. Horn beat Pacquiao legit but it was very close. Only due to age, determination and size. Crawford is a couple of steps up and should easily win, and I am australia. Want horn to win but just not skilled enough
Horn ain't great he is Mediocre and didn't deserve a shot at pacquiao but he got it and did exactly what he had to do to beat an aging but superior fighter. I gave it to him but could have gone either way because the truth that hurts there were some very close rounds.
Now if anyone knew about what it means to be a queenslander fighting at suncorp stadium in queensland, they would know that this was a bad call. Fought in Melbourne or Sydney Horn might not have got close to beating pacquiao. If you know about state of origin rugby qld vs nsw and you may get some idea that a queenslander representing their state at that stadium means more than representing their country. The passion is insane.
Google fights at state of origin where Queensland has been the underdog and u will see
. Horn pulled out a superhuman effort to win but can't see him repeating it anywhere else against top class opposition.

I think horn v pac was a very close fight, it could've gone either way, much closer than people care to admit. Horn was competitive for a variety of reasons, including location, fitness, size , strength, tactics and determination.
Having said that I think Horn is being OVER rated in this fight. His physique unfortunately sticks his head out like an ostrich and he is not a good technical boxer, starting late in life. I think he will be cut to pieces and I am an Aussie. Within 6 rounds.
I want to see Kombosos win but after watching the Selby fight (which he should of lost IMO) with his short stubby arms and lack of combinations and leather thrown I can't see him backing up his words.
Watched it without bs commentary. Horn won the fight. Pacquiao very nearly stopped him in the ninth, apart from that Horn dominated most of it and deserved the decision.
Yeah nah yeah, Kombosos got the self confidence or just very convincing and very good at the build up hype. Stats show not a great difference in reach, but kombosos look like he got short arms. Wears his left low without having quite enough the lightning fast reflexes to avoid a right from a top level fighter like lopez. He also often leaves his left out for too long and low after throwing the jab, leaving himself flat-footed and *painfully* open for a counter. It makes me cringe when I see it. I can't see Kombosos competitive in this, tho would like to see him win. Well he has already won to get the payday at least, let him enjoy the "beautiful possibility" of winning in the meantime.
I didn't know Australian Aboriginals had blue eyes.

I learn something new every day.
His father was white but he has never met him, brought up by indigenous mother and grandmother within Aboriginal culture. Has legal and cultural right to identify as indigenous even if he does not fully appear Aboriginal. Just need to hear him talk and his general manner to see his Aboriginal roots.
I have watched the De la Hoya / Mayweather fight a few times and in my opinion De la Hoya won the majority of rounds and shoulda won the fight although it was close.
