Crawford believes Pacquiao-Horn was NOT a robbery

[Da Pimper]

Saw an interview with Crawford where he says that after watching Pacquiao-Horn again he thinks Horn really did win, says that everyone was biased for Manny and weren’t counting all the shots and good stuff Horn was doing. I haven’t watched that fight in a while but was it really a robbery or a close fight? Pac was 38 at the time btw.

[SouthpawRight]

Close fight

using the same logic used by many boxing fans you’re credited for coming forward and activity

these fans make up their own rules and put that over clean punching

Them down under judges loved shots that came close or hit elbows and shoulders and ropes
A similar set of judges were there for the May vs Maidana fights
"Let's give the cavemen more credit than they deserve ."

It was a blatant, yet beautiful robbery !

[Damn Wicked]

I've always thought Horn won that fight. Too many people were busy listening to Teddy Atlas going crazy at the verdict. Even Tim Bradley seemed to think that a win for Horn wasn't farfetched.

Straight up robbery in the 1st degree

Only watched the fight once, live, but I didn't think it was a robbery either.

As I remember it, Horn's physicality made the fight ugly but it also seemed to throw Manny off his rhythm. I don't think he was expecting such a gruelling fight. I saw a clip recently of round eight or nine, when Manny hurt Horn, and Manny looked ragged and dog-tired, uncharacteristically so. By the end it had swung closer but I remember being unsurprised at it going Horn's way.

Worth noting that I wasn't watching ESPN broadcast with Teddy Atlas. It wasn't until a day later that I realised there was even supposed to be any controversy.

How do judges score rough housing and illegal blows

[HisExcellency]

Robbery of the century...according to CompuBox, Pacquiao outlanded Horn 182-92 overall and in 11 of 12 rounds!

Crawford's just saying that because he HATES Pacquiao and to legitimize his title win against a fighter who should NEVER have been champion having benefitted from some serious hometown cooking.

Pac s greater than bud even with loss to horn. Pac s tougher than nelo, ask Shane mosely
