Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs. Horn Scoring: Mitra Received Final Explanation

Absolutely wrong. And this is the problem. A fundamental lack of understanding how fights are scored. Punches are ONLY ONE OF FOUR criteria, scored equally. When you fail on the other three, which Manny did, you deserve a loss on the record.

That's what I saw, that's what everyone here saw, what everyone who watched it including the independent judges saw.

That's funny that you mention others having a fundamental misunderstanding of boxing scoring while having a fundamental lack of knowledge on how fights are scored yourself.

The 4 criteria to score a round are not equal. If you think that a fighters defense is weighted as much as clean punching in a round you dksab.

First they blamed the judges
Now their blaming the referees
Tomorrow they'll blame Freddy Roach

The ****** thing was that Manny was hurting Jeff whenever he threw, and even had Jeff almost knocked out in the 9th(?). But Manny was only fighting 1 minute of every round while Jeff was in there all 3 minutes.

That's what I was thinking lol. If what he said was true boxing would be full of defensive wizzards able to win rounds with just two landed jabs

... in there all three minutes and looking like a wrestler for 2 minutes and a clumsy swinging oaf the other minute. Never fight in Brisbane for a title, = Las Vegas corruption with a multiplier.

As for the second WBO scoring - farce! This is why in the real world independent external investigations are demanded and granted.

Pac got ride or die fans

Oh bullsh@t!

The judges scored the fight on thrown punches and not connects. Horn didn't land half of the punches Pacquiao did and there was also a 10-8 rd for Pacquiao. No way Horn won that fight.

Unfortunately it won’t overturn the robbery.

WTH the hell is that island going to do when Pac retires and, eventually, dies? The whole place might just sink into the ocean.

Remember how pac fans used to complain how Marquez was a sore loser. Well here we are with pac and his fans refusing to accept his loss to mayweather, refusing to accept his loss to horn, and still making excuses as to why Marquez ko'd him. Tbh, with drug testing in place, pac is a completely different fighter and overall is overrated compared to what his fans believe he is.

Point me to ANY credible source that weighs anything higher than anything else.

I get it, you're salty that Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn walked Manny down for seven rounds and won. Don't change the fact that he won based on three of the four criteria.
