One of the most funny and underrated fights in boxing history.

Seeing one of the greatest fighters of all time in Manny get manhandled and thrown around the ring by Jeff Horn, a rugged Australian schoolteacher with 17 fights, was truly a sight to behold.

Pacman had a smug smile before the fight, but that smile soon disappeared when Jeff Horn came on him like an Octopus.

While I believe Manny edged it out, Horn fought his heart out and both men were bruised and blooded at the end. He showed more heart than Keith Thurman.

Pacman was growing content in his career, this loss lit a fire under his belly and now he is back with a vengeance.

Underrated fight tbh. Loved the Australian sun and crowd.

I'm no Pacquiao fan, I thought Manny did more than edge it, I mean that one round; was it 9, they could have stopped it and nobody but the Horn family would have complained.

Horn is awkward like Sam Soliman was awkward, hard to look awesome against an uncoordinated fighter.

Close fight. The cries of robbery were hilarious.

Did anyone think maybe manny just didn't feel right in Australia or the time he fought or possibly diet out there? Just curious

Or could he have been jet lagged? I don't know the ins and outs but I feel like manny was way off on his timing and stamina compared to other fights

That was a weird fight. I thought Horn deserves it. But that fight was the one that I thought meant Pac was done. He allowed Horn to bully him. But he has reinvent himself, coming back to beat even younger guys with more experience than Horn.

Damn put the fight on youtube and Teddy Atlas ignoring and talking over everything Horn does.

Everything is a robbery in the boxing world. The real robberies are often forgotten(fights like Larry Holmes vs Maurice Harris when Holmes could have very well lost 11-1 or 12-0 , but won) but every close fight that could go either way is a "robbery". The funny thing is that close fights in which there are split decisions 7-5 with swing rounds, these same idiots are crying because their favorite fighter lost..

I didnt score the fight because I expected pac to knock him out when I watched live, but as time went on, Horn was actually winning a lot of those rounds.

Horn starts the rounds strong (which is when Atlas is ignoring the fight and running through his lines of nonsense), Pacquiao finishes strong.
