Shocked at Robbery Claims

[Brz_Pugilist]

People are too dramatic. Every decision you don't agree with isn't a robbery. I scored it 114-114 and gave Horn the final 3 rounds. There were a lot of close rounds so I really can't fault most scores. Even 116-112 for either fighter is not crazy. Horn bullies Manny and had him on the ropes a lot. He was landing solid shots there and in the clinch.

Atlas talked himself into it, he was ignoring or didn't see Horns best momemt and then he was over exaggerating Manny's best moment. That 9th round was not a 10-8 round, Manny missed too many shots.

So sick of people crying robbery when the fight was close.

It's hard to score a fight when horn was the aggressor but that doesn't mean you deserve a decision. It's all about landing the more telling blows and I thought pacquiao did that. I had the fight for him

The fight was great, I think ESPN should have advised Atlas and Stephen A Smith to tone it down and just ride with Horn, they ruined it for boxing with their emotional outrage. They should have just praised Horn but instead they ruined the debut of a big event on ESPN boxing by their anger.

Im shocked that Teddy actually took Mannys side, the only real Pacquiao hater is that fool Kevin Iole on Yahoo, everytime Pacquiao fights he talks down on it, this fight he insulted it and said he wasnt impressed this moron keeps expecting Pacquiao to knock out everyone wtf? you dont knock out top level guys and bigger guys that easy, I knew Horn was going to be close to 170 on fight night, he already said he walks around well over 175 and I knew Horn would be trouble for an aging offensive fighter but Manny impressed me I thought he would quit after those two deep head butt cuts from the clash of heads.

Manny gassed in the 9th round and was tired, that grueling weather though, that fight was fun for real. A lot of people enjoyed it

Im surprised this many people even watched it, They said Time square in new york was jam packed with people who watched that fight on the big screens and the bars, and they were crying robbery and insulting boxing saying its dead and UFC was the king.

This was taken in new york right after the Pac Horn fight while people were leaving the bars after the decision


Thats what ticks me off UFC has some bad robberies but nobody says UFC does it again or **** ufc always with boxing they blame boxing.

The UFC is FIVE X harder to score than a sport where you are only counting punches for 3 minutes at a time .


Horn won if you had him winning the majority early rnds ( i did ,bc he did ) .

Hes only 18 fights now ,hes going to be around awhile .

Absolutely fair tonscorenit for Manny. A lot of people saw it that way. But with so many close rounds I think that it could easily have gone either way.

Last night, Stephen A Snith listed 5 rounds he gave to Horn (later changed it to 4) and the man went off about a robbery. If you can find 5 rounds to give to someone and can admit a couple other rounds were even marginally close, then you shouldn't try to claim robbery.

This is boxing, close fights can go either way, this was a close fight. Pacquiao didn't finish him in the 9th and then let Horn control the last 3 rounds. That's why he lost.

Report: 98% of people who don't think it was a robbery are flomos.

If the fight was in the USA then Manny would have got the decision IMO. Arum wants to sell boxing outside the US and this is his way of expanding his business. Like if Khan fought Manny in the Middle east, I honestly think Khan would get the nod in a fight that went 12 rounds. The location and market forces make a huge impact on decisions, always have.

I agree. I scored it 115-113 for Horn

[paulf]

I didn't keep score but it seemed like the same problem as the first Bradley fight.... Pacquiao took big sections of rounds off not throwing anything, while Horn was working working working. It's the story of Pacquiao's career, really.

Pacquiao was the better fighter but if he didn't give away the fight, he gave away the right to complain. I was surprised but not upset at all with the verdict. Let's have a rematch.

[Ham Porter]

Horn deserved the win. Pacquiao badly struggled with his with his size, awkward rhythm and activity during those first seven rounds and conceivably lost six of those rounds.

[soul_survivor]

brains not enough without knowing categories used to score a boxing fight, it's like a solving a complex math equation without knowing the formula or driving in a foreign country without a map or gps, it's hit and miss!

I think so called boxing fans not understanding how a fight is scored is a major problem.
