Spence and Thurman young will destroy horn

[Combat Talk Radio]

Atlas influenced a lot of gullible people in to thinking Pacquiao was clearly winning.

Not just that, but also CompuBox. Who also went on record specifically saying NOT to use them alone to score fights.

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!

For this part you can blame Mark Nelson threatening to stop the fight. Had he not done that, I doubt we'd have seen so much anger. It's not like Horn wasn't responsive. He just took a round off after punching himself out. It happens.

Okay don't use compu box for the first time watch it again where are the devestating horn shots landing? Did you see the ninth round what did you see landing without response? Horn lost stop the shi$

Correct.

The 117 score was too much but I watched leve and replay and thought Horn won.

Was it close? Yes. Could it feasibly have gone Manny's way? Yes.

But it didn't!

Manny failed to capitalise in 10th and Horn finished stronger in the 12th.

Horn was awarded the decision, get over it.

Take the rematch, or don't but stop whining!

You called out 1 round. That's cool - let's talk about the others. Because they both were taking shots, BUT who was the aggressor? It was Jeff Horn. Who was walking backwards? It was Manny in all but two rounds. Where was the quickness from Manny? 1 round. Where was the volume? 1 round.

Nobody's saying Jeff blew Manny out, it was a close fight, but Manny failed to get the job done in round 10 and it cost him. He got demoralized that Horn wouldn't quit, backed off, and let Horn keep bullying him around the ring. Period.

Manny Won, rematch is just Bob's Agenda!

Just to remind everybody Pac is not a success in PH politics, he was exposed as a dumb politician. "peeleft:

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.

Yea that looks like Horn was likely his last fight. My assumption would be his contract would have been extended for not fighting twice in 2015 thus making Horn the 5th fight of the 1 fight deal he was in + the new 2yr, 4 fight deal he added on.

And that says why Manny has been treated un-Manny-like this time around. I'd assume Manny was offered another extension with the Horn offer & he declined. TR was like "well f#ck you too then" from there as promoters tend to do. Thats likely why there was so much bs involved early on with this fight being here, there & everywhere & why Arum put the fight where Horn had the best chance to win if it was close/competitive + had the most upside for TR.

This is a sketchy ass business lol. We all know it, but I bet if we saw more behind the scenes sh^t it'd be shocking how much f#ckery goes down.

Manny's fans keeping making excuse after excuse! The reason he lost to Floyd is because of his shoulder! The reason he lost to Marquez is because Marquez was using PEDs! I had Manny winning the fight by two rounds watching it live. It was far from the beat down most people was expecting. The fight was close & Manny's fans refuse to accept it! If I recall, the same people who's complaining was the same people claiming Manny would DESTROY Horn & put him to sleep before the 4th round. Because most people never seen or heard of Horn refused to give him a puncher's chance! SURPRISE!!!!
