Pacquiao looked tentative and confused against Mayweather. He had 2 good flurries in 2 separate rounds but he lost the fight. Pacquiao was flailing around like an amateur against Horn. However, Horn was swinging at air and smashing his overgrown body and head into Pacquiao the whole fight. Pacquiao hurt him bad in the 9th but couldn't close the show. Mayweather's win was a lot more convincing than that awful match we saw between Pacquiao and Horn.Comment

Jeff Horn has bigger balls and is more man than Mayweather going toe-to-toe with Pac like that. Hell, Orlando Cruz is more man than Mayweather.Comment

watching and scoring (sound off of course. and remember the saying ''your hands are free. work it out''. might be TL/DR
)
1-h
2-p
3-p
4-h
5-p
6-close but pac. yep, horn ripped a beaut of an uppercut early and ''rang his bell'' with a nice straight right near the end. not enough to win the rd.
pac 4, horn 2
clash of heads, pac is cut above his hairline in the 6th. no biggie and no one is to blame. for real. horn has oodles of energy and pac matches it but you can tell he wasnt expecting it: ''when is this guy gonna tire, when is this guy gonna tire ??!?''. the roughhousing up to this point ? meh. you have to remember, horn is in a pool with a shark. he wasnt supposed to still be here. hes going to do what he has to do to make to the next rd. also, pac is probably the shortest guy hes ever fought. when pac bends over, horn has no choice but to lean on him. and when horn bends over, his head is at his opponents chest. here its at pac head level.
pacs been headhunting too much when horns bod was wide open. horn bounces around a lot but he never covered up his body. body shots could have slowed horn down, instead pacs wasting punches reaching for the harder target. horn is very busy but missing a lot while pac is def landing more. pac also doesnt like to bend at the knees. doing this could have prevented him being leaned on.
7-h (another clash of heads, pac cut again on the other side of his hairline area. rough rd. horn using height/weight. who wouldnt
).
8-p
9-p big...BUT pac was VERY wasteful. swinging and missing wide to the head. i guess if you throw enough, something will land. something did and cut horn over his right eye. too much was made of this rd. horn was more tired than hurt. NOT a 10-8 rd.
10-very close but h. even though he spent most of the rd leaning on pacs back, he had more moments. NO RESIDUAL EFFECTS FROM RD 9. dude just needed a breather.
11-p FINALLY bending at the knees and often makes horn miss by miles. so far the cuts are no issue.
12-h (horn needs multiple kds or ko to win. it didnt happen so i stopped watching and give it to horn just because he made it this far )
p3, h3(p4, h2 wouldnt be unfair)
overall
7-5 (8-4 if pac won the 12th). pac should have won. wasnt as bad as pac vs timmy 1, imho.
pac did much better the 2nd half but didnt take advantage of horns body or the times horn moved right into pacs wheel barrel, so to speak.
those who picked horn caught a break. he lost that fight. but like teddy said, his effort got him the w. rocky balboa was alive and well in there.Comment
