Horn-Pac Man fight

[jedwar]

Manny got completely screwed. One judge 117-111 and two at 115-113. Should've been the opposite.

Atlas says Horn got a trophy for just trying hard. The punch count stats are so one sided it's laughable.

 

[funKYcat75]

Yeah. That was some hard core home cooking.

Word is one judge's name was Higgins.

 

[jedwar]

Man I used to love boxing in the 80s. It's just a joke now. Crap like this will keep boxing from ever being good again.

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

Not too hard to look at the boxer's faces post fight and see who won.

 

[MojoYamamoto]

That fight wasn't even close. Pacquiao clearly won that fight. Judges are the biggest problem with boxing. They never seem to see the same fight as everyone else.

That was a very entertaining fight though.

SMH. It's about the money for PAC now. Horn showed heart, but that was home cooking to the extreme.

 

[jedwar]

That was a very entertaining fight though.

Yes it was. But screw jobs like this overshadows it badly.

 

[Lempface]

Those scores are wild. I thought for sure those were the scores for Pac winning as they were being revealed.

One of the wildest things I have ever seen.

 

[Comebakatz3]

By the way... anyone else notice that they technically stopped the fight 8 or 9 seconds early?

 

[BoxterS]

Was blown away by the judges decision. Was incredibly impressed with Pac's graciousness

Vince McMahon loved the booking of this match.

Any sport that is judged to determine the outcome is flawed. In the case of boxing, they should just go until there is a knockout or the towel is thrown in. It would be much more brutal, but isn't that what people pay to see? Take the decision out of the hands of the supposedly impartial judges. To easy to let bias get in the way. Also, gambling likely has a major influence in these decisions.

It was awesome to see a fight like this on ESPN instead of PPV. Unfortunately, it showed millions of potential PPV purchasers exactly how crooked and flawed the sport of boxing can be. Horn put up a good fight, but no way in hell did he win that fight.

And both fighters get drilled by top 5 welterweights right now.
