Comments Thread For: Top Rank VP: Pacquiao-Horn Was Close, 117-111 Created Issue

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank Vice President Carl Moretti believes the scorecard of 117-111, issued as part of Jeff Horn's upset win over Manny Pacquiao earlier this win, created the bulk of the issues with the fans and critics who were angered by the outcome. Horn (17-0-1, 11 KOs), who was a tremendous underdog, won a twelve round unanimous decision over Pacquiao before a crowd of 51,000 fans at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia.

8-4 for Manny would have made way more sense....

I had it 7-5 Horn scoring live in the rbr thread. Even made a thread talking about pac turds making excuses about the loss after round 5 or 6. Atlas influenced a lot of gullible people in to thinking Pacquiao was clearly winning.

Why are people still butt hurt over this fight? For those of you who think this fight wasn't even close knows nothing about boxing! If I recall, most thought Manny would DOMINATE Horn which was the farthest from what actually took place! Manny had ONE dominating round! The 117-111 score was crazy but the others wasn't far fetch! I have always enjoyed watching Manny fight but its crazy how his followers make up excuses every time he looses! What makes it even crazier is before every Pacman fight, his super fans claim Manny will dominate, KO, destroy, beat to a pulp his opponent but makes excuses when none of that happens! Manny hasn't done any of those things in over 7 years! Its OK to realize Manny will never be the same fighter he once was! It happens to them all!

117-113 is ridiculous! No sense in defending that! 115-113 wouldn't be an issue, if it was 115-113 for Pacquiao! I still can't see where Horn won 7 rounds! Still waiting to see if Pacquiao accepts that he's still under contract with TR.

May 21, 2014:

Superstar Manny Pacquiao, whose contract with promoter Top Rank was due to expire at the end of the year, signed an extension with the company Tuesday, perhaps killing any hopes of a showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr. during the term of the deal.

The two-year agreement, announced by Top Rank chairman Bob Arum, extends Pacquiao's pact with the promoter through Dec. 31, 2016. The deal is also with Pacquiao's MP Promotions, which co-promotes his fights...

The new deal means Pacquiao will likely have at least five more fights, one this year to finish the existing contract and two in 2015 and two in 2016 under the new agreement.

Your in with Arum fight was not close 8-4 is not close 8-4 mirrors double everything he did what he landed

[bronx7]

Manny landed double the punches 50 more power punches 5/1 jabs 33% to 15% 15% record low punches landed even Floyd opponents land 18%

[bronx7]

He outlanded horn in 11/12 rounds you and Arum want a trilogy like Bradley scam in house double dip promote both fighters

[bronx7]

Because he didn't ko horn means nothing you score each round seperate 8-4 manny horn bigger than we thought stronger rough and tumble but ineffective aggression 15% low
