      Pacquiao lost this fight but Floyd beat Maidana the first time. GTFO Larry.

      Pacquiao looked shot and he still won.

        I had it 116-112 Pacquiao.

        I had four close swing rounds (rounds that could have went either way) in the fight: 1, 4, 6, and 7.
        I gave 3 of those 4 swing rounds to Horn.

        And, I scored the 9th 10-9, not 10-8.

        In other words, giving Horn pretty much every benefit of the doubt I could, I still couldn't get closer than 8 rounds to 4.

        Yet 2 judges had it swung 3 rounds the other way and one had it 5 the other way.

        That's 3 folks not seeing reality or seeing it the way someone paid them to.

        That's a robbery in my book.

          Man that shit was sad.

          That's not the man who destroyed Cotto, DLH, Barrera, and Morales so easily.

            I'm still shocked. Father Time is so cruel.

            Can't believe this is the same man who destroyed Cotto, DLH, Barrera, and Morales so easily.
            It's crushing, we have seen this time and time again with our favorite fighters over the years and It never gets easier.

              It's because you are a boxing fan and not some nut hugger like Larryxxx, Robbie Barret or Dosumpthin whose main objective Is to stir the pot and troll as opposed to having decent boxing conversation. Just like In your case, you don't have to be a fan of a particular fighter for their decline to affect you, but since you are a fan of the sport, It did affect you.

                  I think the definite thing is that he's not the same fighter. It's been a gradual thing that now seems to be accelerating.

I have never seen Manny throw 1 punch at a time and just try to load up on single shots.Fight was close 117-111 was a strange card but alot of those rounds were swing rounds
                      I agree 100%
