    There's definitely 7 rounds you can give Horn.

    Going into the second half of the fight, Horn became the bookies favourite to win the decision. There's a reason for that.

    Close fight. Clearly!
    Yeah, people were live betting on Horn winning after seeing about half the fight. I did notice that, and could see enough rounds for Horn to understand that perspective.

    It was way more competitive than the announcers are trying to make it seem.

      Manny is looking much older now and should just retire. He struggled with an handpicked, over matched, overachieving and heavy underdog opponent whom he was expected to knock out and mop the floor with but failed.

      This was a very tough and grueling bout for the soon to be 39 year old Manny Pacquiao and we don't know just how much he has left in the tank after a fight like this and overall career which has spanned over 22 years.

      I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if he gets knocked out in the rematch.
      I'm surprised he didn't get knocked out tonight.

          I had Horn ahead going into the second half.

          Pacquaio's experience turned it round and made it very close down the strech. But even those last few rounds were competitive.

          A lot of close rounds.

          Pac was tired after failing to get him out of there in the 9th.

          Great fight but sad for the Pacman. Got to hang them up now.

            Rooting for the Pacman though.

            I think the best thing to do in regards to punch stats is not pay attention all together. Clearly a flawed system.

            And those ones seem pretty far off in my eyes.
            At the end of the day, one fact remains, Pacquiao Is nowhere near what he once was. He needs to retire now.

                Can't complain with a rematch.

                But man, Pacquaio didn't attempt to even throw combinations.

                Manny Pacquaio. No combinations.

                Sad to even say.

                      I had It about 7-3, with 2 even for Jeff Horn. No robbery. Even Manny didn't disagree. JH Won A Close Fight. Good decision. I like Teddy's analysis, but he is wrong.
