Originally posted by boliodogs View PostI though Pacquiao beat Horn by a mile. By actual count he landed 160 punches to Horns 80 punches so how could he not win? He almost KOed Horn in the 9th and should have recieved 2 points for that round. Horn was allowed to fight a very dirty fight and got a home country robbery. Get Horn out of Australia where he has to follow the rules and can't maul and wrestle and use headlocks, chokeholds trips and headbutts and he isn't very good. Horn is slow enough that Broner can hit him hard and often. On neutral ground I think Broner can beat him.

Originally posted by Madison boxing View Postyeah it was one of the worst robberies ive ever seen. it taught me that people on here dont pay enough attention to fights and actually bother to see if punches land or not. they just saw horn mauling forward and that means he won, 'he dictated the pace, he roughed him up' yeah but he didnt actually land punches which is quite crucial in boxing.
One round was a swing round that I gave to Manny.
Outside of that, Horn imposed his will and won a close fight that shouldn't have been allowed to get close.

Originally posted by Madison boxing View Posti know horn is your man but he landed half the punches of pacquiao according to compubox and his connect percentage was something abysmal like 10 percent. compubox isnt always right but it matched up with exactly what i saw, he was missing literally 9 times out of 10. i didnt watch the fight live and when i watched the replay i couildnt believe people were making out it was a close fight that could have gone either way.
Who was getting walked down? Manny.
Who was on the backfoot half the fight? Manny.
Who was busted? Manny.
Who was getting tossed around? Manny.
Now, the thing is, Horn didn't dominate Manny, Manny didn't dominate Horn. It WAS a close fight IF you pay attention to factors other than punches. Horn's lateral movement was superb, Manny couldn't barely put punches together. A pot-shotting Manny doesn't look impressive. Horn, while not accurate, was aggressive, and most judges score for that.
The fact of the matter is this. Manny Pacquiao should have walked through the guy. But he took him lightly, didn't half train like he should have, and judges made sure to let him know.

Walking people down scores points in boxing? I thought it was clean and effective punching.
Pacquiao was on the back foot half of the fight? So Horn was on the back foot the other half. How does that contribute to your argument of Horn winning the fight? Even though you don't lose points for being on the back foot.
Pacquiao was busted up because of head butts... Or did you only look at pictures and saw Pacquiao bleeding and assumed it was from a barrage of punches?
I didn't know being tossed around scored points in boxing. I guess these are new rules I wasn't aware of.
Horn had lateral movement? I must have missed it. Pacquiao couldn't put punches together because Horn smothered him, not because he had "superb lateral movement." Pacquiao landed almost twice as many power punches as Horn, so if he was pot shotting wtf was Horn doing?
Pacquiao vs Horn was a clear robbery, almost as bad as the first Bradley fight. Pacquiao won the majority of the rounds. I'm actually surprised the referee allowed the fight to go on in the 9th round. I've seen fights stopped on much less punishment. Horn looked like he got hit with a baseball bat upside the head after that round.
