I noticed that anyone who likely watched the fight on ESPN still call this fight a robbery. When the rest of the world saw a close fight that could have gone either way.
Are people still influenced by commentary? You would think that the majority of us being hard-core boxing fans wouldn't be influenced. The compubox numbers for that fight are garbage.
Horn's work wasn't always neat or technically great, but he was seriously effective and landed clean hurtful punches in the majority of the rounds. Yes he was very physical, overly at times, and used that to his advantage, but that shouldn't come into the scoring, it's a separate conversation about tactics, the only thing you can argue is whether a point or two deduction would have influenced the score.
This fight was NOT a robbery.
I see Horn brings handful for any WW, his physical strength, chin, durability, and heart are elite, and for that reason he is underrated.
