Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: It Was Close, I Thought Manny Pacquiao Won

[guadia12]

Manny Pacquiao showed to the world last night why he is considered a legend by most boxing experts. he genuinely won the fight against a scrappy tough as nails challenger Jeff Horn.. what we can all agree here is this was action -packed fight from beginning to end. why would anyone in their right mind think Manny should retire after convincingly defeating his opponent ... unless he gets pummeled to a pulp , he ought to continue with his illustrious career. Roy Jones jr. still fights late in the game and one is calling for this head......

bob arum taught don king the business! also his ***ish roots keep him from getting exposed by major media companies that are majority *** owned businesses! espn bashes haymon but does business with their fellow crooked *** like arum....

I'm Italian, unfortunately we have the Mafia. The Mafia ruled boxing in the 40's 50's and 60's. Unfortunately movies have glorified this part of our culture. The ***s are the chosen people unfortunately they have people like Bob Arum who make them look bad and amplify the stereotype. Bob's days are over soon. Race and stereotype aside ultimate power corrrupts and those in positions of power take advantage. That's just a human flaw. These low lifes are in all races.

i agree about low lifes being in every race... espn needs more content because they might be losing some sports because of the new tv deals expiring soon... boxing is a cheap alternative for espn thats why they hire arum again... i wish they would have brought PBC back they have wayy more talent and could give wayyy better fights.. oh well

No. It's you that didn't actually watch the fight or don't know what you're seeing, you bringing up the punch stats proves this. So you just roll with whatever a network like ESPN tells you.

I also thought those punch stats seemed a lil dam fishy. Also was it me or teddy atlas gave horn no credit for all the good work he did. None! He rode Manny **** the whole night lol so I'm very curious how Tim felt. Teddy scorecard was bogus. Rounds horn Clearly won he gave Manny. I had it the way the Tim had it, tough close unanimous decision for Manny. 115-113 or 116-112. **** after first round I knew n Manny knew horn was there to fight. He lost but was close rounds in there.

No, you can't win a fight by landing 10 punches per round without a knockdown or hurting your opponent. Obviously you weren't watching the fight. Since you don't know what your seeing just base it on the facts. Here they are
Less than 100 punches, 15% connect rate, 10 punch avg per round, none devastating. You must be drunk if you think that's a winning performance. That's about as strange as those people who thought Maidana beat Mayweather, or Holyfield beat Lewis, or Chavez beat Whitaker or Ramirez beat Whitaker.
You don't know what your seeing, you see the guy who beats the hell out of the other guy even though you don't want him to win, is the victor. Unless the majority of the world is wrong and your right.

Learn bout boxing. Maidana, Chavez, and Ramirez won and were robbed, just like JL Castillo vs Mayweather. Stop using the black agenda.

Um Chavez was given the W, so was Ramirez given the W. Ramirez lost every round similar to Marquez getting shut out by Mayweather. Last time I checked Lewis is black and was raised in Kitchener Ontario Canada where he won a Gold for Canada. What the h@ll are you talking about with this black agenda crap. I'm not black and I'm not a far left *******. What I learned about boxing in my youth was that the object is to hit and not be hit, and the guy who hits the other guy more often and with bad intentions tends to get the victory. You don't seem to know that part very well. Therefore you don't know boxing. This isn't the ******* agenda where you get a Participation trophy.

While I agree with the fight being action packed and Pacquiao winning. He didn't look good at all.

He was slow, his foot work was not good, he was exhausted and he was throwing more wild missed punches than I can ever recall.

Why should a future HOF fighter stick around waiting to get "pummeled to a pulp"

Any links to that announcement? I didn't see that!

manny always seems happy after he gets robbed! Makes me think he is in on these things because now he can do a another big rematch in australia infront of 50k people and get his belt back like he did with bradley! Top rank gets richer and manny gets richer and they get to duck crawford for another year.... Manny is one of the best politicians i have ever seen! He is a great actor in my oninon....

be sure to remember that when the discussion turns to his shoulder injury

you can't have it both ways

[aboutfkntime]

um dude WBO is pretty much Bob Arum INC...They will order a rematch like they did with the bradley scam bro.... They all get rich again like i said and crawford and spence and thurman keep getting ducked! thats the goal and the plan is going as planned.....

Pac either..... could do little to stop/deter Horn

or.....

he was in on the fix

I wonder which is true..... and I wonder which is worse ?

right..... ?
