horn v pacquiao wasnt close...

[Madison Boxing]

Horn landed loads of punches.

And clean hard crisp punches.

Did you only count Pacquaio's punches in the fight?

he didnt land loads of punches and no i didnt count but compubox did, and they had pacquiao landing twice as many punches. they had horn landing less than 8 punches a round lol. and from what my eyes saw its not far off the mark. i cant stand pacquiao either lol, theres no bias, but like most people in the real world i saw pacquiao winning convincingly.

He actually did though.

Every round they showed highlights of Horn landing clean crisp punches, barrage of punches on the inside, body shots.

8 punches or less a round? Yeah, sure.

i dont mean to be an arse but i genuinely dont understand what you and some of the others watched. as i said back in the real world away from the warped views of this forum everyones saying it was a robbery/fix. you simply cant make a case for horn winning that and i really struggle to see how anyone could give pacquiao less than 8 rounds.

I agree Pac should've won, I don't think it was "close & could've gone either way". Pac got robbed.

Just accept hat people legitimately thought Horn did well. I had him winning 3 or 4 of the first five. I didn't score every round and maybe PAC deserved it 7-5 but it was a close fight. Horn did better than Bradley and Vargas

That's the key. Pacquiao started too slow and let Horn put rounds in the bank.

The cries of robbery from fans and ESPN are unwarranted. It was the wrong decision in my opinion, but it was a close fight with a few swing rounds. Crying robbery does a disservice to Horn's effort today which was nothing short of excellent, and leaves a sour taste in the mouth for what was a very fun fight to watch.

What did some of you guys watch? 'A close fight' 'not a robbery' 'could have gone either way', really? To me it looked like horns shots werent landing. Teddy atlas called the fight correctly.

The old favourite 'you cant trust compubox' is coming out, yeah maybe its not going to be 100 percent accurate but what i saw on screen matched up pretty well with the numbers, pacquiao was landing and horn wasnt so its not a huge shock that they had him landing 182-92.

I think just because pacquiao isnt a defensive fighter, people dont pay so much attention to the punches that he avoids, when they are both throwing combos. They just see both guys throwing punches and think wow this is a war, horns giving as good as he gets.

And maybe in peoples minds they expected it to be so one sided that when horn had the slightest bit of success they gave him credit for it.

Lets just call it what it was, a robbery. And its another night of controversy, after the easter 120-108 scorecards and the ward low blows. Just seems as if its now an accepted part of the sport, unless a fight was a chavez canelo style whooping its like 'oh well fight could have gone either way' **** off could it lol. the 117-111 judge should be thrown out of the sport. 117-111 in a favour of a guy who got outlanded by 182-92? 115-113 is bad enough lol

Man enough of the B.S. trolling already! It was close fight, in which Manny clearly won.

[Jewish-Reptile]

when its 182-92 punch landed in pacquiaos favour, ring magazine describe it as laughable and highly controversial, espn score it 117-111 to pacquiao yeah its a robbery imo. think horn had a connect percentage of something like 15 percent.

You need somebody else's opinions to support your cases because you're so utterly insecure.

I watched the fight and had it to Horn 115-113, two judges scored it exactly the same, they're professionals and employed to score the fights if I'm gonna side with anyone like yourself I'll side with the professionals not boxing fans and publications. That said I don't need to look to anybody else, I score or myself.

It's not unwarranted, Horn shouldn't have won 6 rds on anyone's card, unless you're last name is Horn, much less be awarded the victory.The disservice to the sport was done by the decision, not people pointing it out. Jeff did put on a solid performance, but that doesn't mean he won.

Boxing needs to take a more aggressive stand against officials involved in decisions like this.
