Horn vs Pacquiao was a home country robbery with a ref that let Horn fight as dirty as he wanted and that was pretty damn dirty. It was a robbery with nothing to debate. Pacquiao landed over twice as many punches as Horn. He almost KOed Horn in the 10th round. How did he lose?
Biggest robbery of 2017 in your eyes?

Damage cuts/bruises are irrelevant when scoring a fight. There's no standing 8 counts in pro boxing. Headbutts need to be deemed deliberate to be punished.Not only was Pacman the champ but he did the most damage , he also had him out in that round 9 or 10 can't remember . Ref should've at least gave him a standing 8 count which would've gave pac the W or draw forgot scorecards . What really upset me was all the headbutts and elbows he was nailing Manny with and got no warning or point deduction !! One of the worse home cookings ever, Top rank and Bob Arum really ****ed good .. Manny manager Khonez such a snake acting like he have his best interest like trying to pull that Amir Khan fight was just a set up to give Arum something to hold on team Pac !! Scum
Was a close fight. That Horn edged.Comment

He lost because people that weren't listening to Teddy Atlas or were biased towards Pacquiao saw a different fight. America saw a robbery the rest of the world didn't.Horn vs Pacquiao was a home country robbery with a ref that let Horn fight as dirty as he wanted and that was pretty damn dirty.

Everytime Pacquiao loses there's excuses, excuses, excuses. The way his fans talk he never lost a fight legitimately.

All the headbutts and elbows does affect the scorecards by deducting points and yes there is standing 8 counts in pro boxing depends which governing body and state you fight in ... Like I said I thought it was a draw worse case scenario split for manny cause he is the champ !! For a guy that came in the ring over 170 Manny hurt Horn numerous times .Comment

Pacquiao cherry picked Horn and lost. Deal with it.Comment

Yes absolutely the guy and even his own trainer said they might drop the at 147 cause he can't make wait .. the guy is 5 10 very big I don't need to GTFO buddy , you need learn more about your fighter before defending him ... Everyone knows he walks around over 170 all the time .. next right is against Anthony bM.Comment

Breh, you know I got mad love for you for our shared affection of Gremlins, but that fight was NOT a robbery!The one that sticks in my mind is the Horn fight. That was a matter of reading body language more than the boxing itself. A lot of others I saw as close fights that I didn't agree with (both Golovkin fights come to mind) but they weren't so off that I would call them robberies in any way. Judging is subjective.
Pac did NOTHING for the first 8 rounds of the fight - he won a round here or there, but aside from a few rounds towards the end where Pac definitely won, it was hard to give him 2-3 rounds.
It wasn't so much that Horn WON the fight, as Pac gave the fight away by not doing anything.Comment
