Comments Thread For: Roach: Horn Used His Head, Pacquiao Doesn't Fight Well With Cuts

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach believes Jeff Horn intentionally used his head in the fight with Manny Pacquiao last weekend in Brisbane. Pacquiao suffered two severe cuts during his twelve round decision loss to Horn - an outcome that nobody could have predicted. Horn captured Pacquiao's WBO welterweight championship with scorecards of 115-113, 117-111 and 115-113 at the Suncorp Stadium.

Always found this one weird.

A warrior of the higheat calibur in Pacquaio struggles with blood. Well, his own blood.

Okay, we're done with this sht! This is passe now, Roach, Pac, fans, everyone, stop dwelling on it! Move along little dogies, fight is over, lets see the rematch. Tomorrow is another day.

I'm pretty sure no fighter does.

I watched the fight for the second time just yesterday. It was an ugly mess. Horn missed more punches than he landed, and Pacquiao was the 30% of himself.

Are we sure that fighting at 2:00 PM hasn't affected both fighters? They sure look to have been sweating quite a lot under the Australian sun, they were both dead tired and less than precise in their action.

You actually make a pretty good point. Curious as to what the temperature was on the day of the fight.

ok.....

Roach forgot to mention Manny has "cold" on that fight.
Why do you want a rematch to the dirty guy who gave you two bloody headbutts?

Manny's so old even Filipinos didn't have a fight party for this one.

Pretty much accurate comment ... the blood was not really going into Pac''s eyes, it was controlled to a great degree... he just fought poorly but he still won the fight...
