Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Horn Investigation: WBO Backs Scores, Explains Why

[chirorickyp]

WBO and Arum back the scores. Now that's a surprise. I thought the guys who rigged the fight would expose themselves

[devildg]

well i guess the WBO should no longer be held in high regard....should be on the same level as IBF and IBO, a fringe title



If blocked punches and rabbit punches score for points, then YES, of course Horn won.

Totally agree with the judges. I said in a previous post this is the hype of the people not believing Horn could get the job done. People don't want to admit they could be wrong. This is an absolute disgrace and the lack of respect shown to the young school teacher who did good is shameful. Step back you all and take a good long hard look at yourselves in the mirror. You cant accept it then call for a rematch or demand one. See if the Pacman has the courage to go toe to toe again. Somehow I don't think it is going to happen. I will have to wait till Horn's next fight until the boxing public start respecting him. That's ok. He will get the job done just as he has in his past 18 fights......oh yeah...all the 18 bums he faced apparently. As I have said before find me another current fighter with the same sort of resume that he has faced in his 18 fights and I will call his opponents bums. But find me that fighter first yeah?

You might want to relay that to the Floyd fans on this board who used compubox numbers to justify Mayweathers win over Pacquiao. There were many.

not me, it was obvious that Mayweather won

It's not about scoring only, it's about the REFEREE...

It's very unfair to focus it's investigation on the scoring only, it's about the officiating REFEREE that affected the fighter's performance and the outcome. A fighter can't execute his usual plan and dominance if the fight is infested with fouls & dirty tricks. It's very obvious & clear that Horn is a very dirty fighter , throughout the fight he consistently head-locked, neck-gripped, head-pushed down, elbowed, head-butted Pacman that resulted to 2 cuts both sides of the head with 7 stitches each but in disgrace the REFEREE is insensitive & no reactions whatsoever & did not even caution or warn Horn. Something fishy going on, the REFEREE is paid and supposed to be fair to both fighters in this case, he's clearly with Horn.

I don't know much about Horn and It sounds like you have followed his career. Other than Pacquiao who stands out on his resume?

He did seem to show plenty of heart and had a solid chin.

I thought boxingscene scored it correctly

What was there score?

[woodywood]

Mute point really when your corner stands outside the ring and doesn't actively get involved.

[loui_ludwig]

The WBO panel could have given it to Pac, it won't change the fact that Pac got robbed. The majority of analysts and boxers have Pac winning.

So in other words Horn used veteran tactics to defeat Pacquiao...
