Comments Thread For: Jeff Horn Involved in Car Accident, No Injuries Suffered

[OCPancho]

Exactly, people forget it was a TR card with Manny Pacquiao in the main event, I am a huge Manny fan and of course wanted him to win but he just didn't, what else can I say. I didn't think the ref was that bad at all, Manny just didn't pull the trigger like he used to.

Sorry, Horn did not win 7 rounds.
And that ref should have taken a point away.
At least .

I had a 5000 lb beam fall on my legs and was pinned for over a minute with my calves crushed. Took an ambulance to the er. Was walking again the next day. Horn will be just fine.

A day is too soon to tell he isn't injured. I have a permanently ****ed up lower back from the most innocuous car accident a few years ago, and was "perfectly fine" for at least a week.

I don't know. History has shown us, when a boxer turns a fight into a dirty scrap, it usually ends that way.
John Ruiz , Chuck Wepner and Mustaffa Hamsho come to mind .

Wow. Mustafa Hamsho...Now that's a name I haven't heard in awhile. Respect bro!

And I know Horn doesn't feel any pain now, but those car accidents usually have delayed effects. Thurman said he didn't feel anything until days later and then he started losing range on motion in his neck.

They need to start quarantining these fighters before big bouts.

This isn’t a big bout. No sports book, online or otherwise, offers competitive odds. Behind the ESPN app paywall hardly anyone will see the fight.

this accident is going to be horns excuse when he gets beat by bud!

Horn is really going to look bad

If he steps in the ring with Crawford, it'll look like a train ran over his face.

Not doing so hot on the ol' reading, are we? That says THE JUDGES IN AUS (short for Australia). NOT the Australian judges.

Did you watch that fight and see Horn winning? The ref even asked Horn's corner after the 9th or 10th if they wanted to continue at one point when Manny had a huge round prior. I'm not even a Pac fan--at all, but that fight was another bad look for boxing judging.

I'll do the due diligence here...

Here's your final punch stats:
Pacquaio:
Jabs thrown: 193 Landed: 59 (31%)
Horn:
Jabs thrown: 197 Landed 19 (10%)

Pacquiao:
Power punches thrown: 380 Landed 123 (32%)
Horn:
Power punches thrown: 428 Landed 73 (17%)

Manny landed 62 and 86 punches to the left and right sides of Horn's head respectively. Horn only 32 and 31. Manny 20 and 15 punches to the left and right sides of Horn's body respectively. Horn only 18 and 12 to Manny's.

Horn landed just 15% of his total punches and one judge had the fight 117-111 for Horn. You can explain away, but whatever you're selling, I'm not buyin'.

Why are people still repeating this nonsense?

The three judges at the Pac-Horn fight? None of them were Australian.

The ref? Not Australian.

The five judges who reviewed the fight? Not Australian.

Horn winning the fight against Pac had nothing to do with the fight being in Australia - except for the boost that he might have got from having a home crowd.

People talk like there was some massive dirty Australian conspiracy to rob Pac - but how does that work with zero Australian officials?

I seen videos on their driving down under it’s pretty pathetic you would think they just found out about motor vehicles I’m not surprised.
