Comments Thread For: Pacquiao on WBO's Ruling For Horn: People Saw What Happened!

Manny needs to let it go, he is nearly 39 and it's time to retire. He should have and would have stopped Horn in his prime. with a record that's starting to mount the losses, he should graciously exit the sport and move on. He 'respected' the decision initially and he should remember he got some sweet decisions go his way in the past!

Manny vs JMM for the last time, winner takes the title "THE BEST WHINER".

Yes pacquiao people saw you lose now run along and retire you dont have it anymore you should have knocked horn out but you failed to impress once again

I don't understand how a guy cries robbery and he's 10 million dollars richer. Manny got paid, and he can get paid again. I saw what happened, zero sympathy. Manny was overpaid for a couple of bumps on the head.

why was the damn fight even close Manny??

Why didnt you finish him in the 9th??


This is all your fault

Idiotic reasoning. What if Maidana got the decision over Mayweather in their first fight just for doing better than anyone predicted?

Yes, we saw you lose.

The Pac haters luv to line up and hurl insults at the guy who likely lined their pockets for years. Fair weather friends, eh? Look, anyone who thinks Horn won is just letting their hatred for Manny show. Let it go. The guy won this one, no debate necessary. He's been in close fights. This wasn't one of 'em. 8-4 Manny.

First off, green sent.

And yup. It's sports. It happens in competition. If the underdog was supposed to lose or get blown out every time then why even have it take place? Like Chris Berman says, "that's why they play the game". We've seen 1 seeds struggle with 16 seeds in the NCAA basketball tournament. 2 seeds have outright lost to 15 seeds. In the NBA playoffs 1 seeds have lost in the opening round. In the NFL upsets happen all the time. In college football Michigan was ranked in the top five in the country and lost to a division 2 program.

But yes, to your point, just because it was waaaayyyy closer than most projected -- doesn't mean you should get penalized with a damn loss. He won the fight. It was a life & death struggle but Manny landed the cleaner, more accurate, more effective shots for the majority of the night. And I totally agree with your comparison -- these same people who have Horn legitimately winning better have Maidana winning in Mayweather/Maidana 1. Because the fights were really, really similar in a lot of ways. But Maidana didn't win -- because why? Because out-hustling a guy doesn't override clean, effective shots. The people who got Horn winning wanted to see Manny lose and are willing to overlook the fact that Horn, while extremely aggressive, was wild and missing much of the night. Manny meanwhile was much more clean and effective in that department.

He won the fight, and there's a reason why the vast majority of boxers who have commented on this fight had Pacquiao winning the fight.

Couldn't agree more, the Mayweather/ Maidana fight played out exactly like the Pacquiao/Horn fight.
