This is the major reason boxing remains a marginal sport with only a few stars. Pacquiao clearly won, but the media and "boxing community" think they are protecting the sport by justifying these bad decisions. This same bs happened with the Bradley fight, Whitaker v. Chavez, De La Hoya v. Mosley II. Everyone of those fights there people actually justifying the decision. Other than Lewis v. Holyfield I - I don't remember where there was a consensus of a robbery ever in boxing... Pretty shameful actually...

I like Hatton but he does talk a lot of bollocks. Pac's been in decline for years, we've all seen that.Comment

To those who know how to properly score a fight, including 6 of 8 independent judges, Jeff "The Hornet" Horn beat Manny Pacquiao fair and square 7 rounds to 5.
That's NOT a robbery, it was a close fight because the rest of us were paying closer attention to how Horn was bullying the hell out of PacMan over 12, and keeping him after school to write standards on the board "I will not disrespect underdogs" 100 times.Comment

Pac's fan base is gonna get him seriously hurt in the ring, last month it was "he'd ko Thurman", and "he's still the best WW" but lets just say for sh|ts and giggles Pac won a close fight.....IT STILL IS A CLOSE FIGHT WITH A SCHOOL TEACHER! His time is up, if he continues to fight he should maximize his ability to generate as much money as he can. Leave TR, Fight under his own banner Pacquiao promotions and fight i.e. broner vs mikey winner or loser, Khan. His 401kComment

I'm a big fan of Ricky but out of respect I will just say that Pac really beat Horn and even if he didn't look like his old self, he's still better than when Ricky lost his last fight by a body shot KO of all things.Comment
