    I watched the fight on boxnation and i thought horn won, was really surprised people are calling it a robbery, im beginning to wonder how bad my judgment is.
    As a pinoy, and pac supporter i've always been critical to his performances and get freak out in the middle of the fight. Might need to rewatch it.

    Pacquiao looked awful imo
    I think Manny won. I rewatched it and Horn did better than I originally thought. It was close. I think Manny should have got a two point round for round nine. He totally dominated Horn in that one. But I have to admit that Horn may not have been given credit for some if the punches he landed. Pacquiao didn't look sharp.

      I always kind of suspected this was the case

      It took a while for the commentators to realize Algieri was in the Provodnikov fight, but in their defense Algieri did almost get stopped in round 1 and was a complete unknown.

        Horn harassed pacquiao from beginning to end, appeared as someone who wanted it more, would unload everytime pac shells up, had pac hesitant and backing off most of the time. Horn was also consistent with his energy and approached all throughout the fight while pac was way inconsistent,
        Horn imposed the pace that he wanted that's why he looked more commanding and in control out there, except for the parts of 8th and the whole 9th

        Maybe its just an illusion he made, maybe there's also substance to it but one thing is for sure manny was struggling in there, that's why judges gave it to horn.

        Pac got some good hits but never really able to control the tempo, to make it his fight, to control when the exchanges happen and when they don't. Well, pac is just old so i wont even gonna criticize him with his performance.

          If bradley tumbling around hurt worse than horn against provo didn't get a 10-8 round this one shouldn't too.

                It took a long time for the commentators to catch on to what was happening in the Tyson VS Buster Douglas fight also. Douglas was fighting great but the announcers almost completely ignored it until Tyson was almost spent.

                      Yeah but two wrongs don't make a right. Thanks for posting that. I have a list of cliches I need to use up.
