    Tough fight for Pacquiao. Ate a lot of elbows and headbutts.

      Or could he have been jet lagged? I don't know the ins and outs but I feel like manny was way off on his timing and stamina compared to other fights
      Manny didn't half train. Roach even admitted before the fight being frustrated with Manny not seeming to take it seriously. Then Manny on his phone texting during the presser and completely dismissing Horn as a threat.

      Manny's strategy was obvious - he wanted Horn to gas out and then take him out late. That's been his strategy in every fight since Marquez 3. Problem is, Horn never gassed, Manny started landing, but then let him off the hook in Round 9 because he wanted the ref to stop it. That was a BIG mistake and the reason I think Spence beats him - Manny doesn't go for "the kill" anymore.

      Look at his fight with Keef. That was WAY too close. Vargas - he dropped him but refused to take him out.

        Im am a big fan of Manny’s, but I thought Horn won that. Both guys got the crap beat out of them. That was a brutal fight that took something out of both of them. It’s shocking to see how Pac has fought on in these last 10 years or so considering the brutal wars he’s been in. I don’t know if there’s ever been another fighter who’s had such an amazing career.

          Horn is awkward like Sam Soliman was awkward, hard to look awesome against an uncoordinated fighter.
          Crawfors made it look pretty simple.

            Crawford made beating Postol look simple too.

              My theory is manny slacked off in training then got his azz handed to him by Horn

                  Lots of close rounds in the first 5. Gave Horn 1,6,7,8,10,12 Don't know how Atlas gave Manny rounds 6 and 12. When Bradley was trying to say it was close Atlas was shutting him down. From before the opening bell Atlas was on Manny's ****. Disgusting commentary.

                    Seeing one of the greatest fighters of all time in Manny get manhandled and thrown around the ring by Jeff Horn, an Australian schoolteacher with 17 fights, was truly a sight to behold.

                    Pacman had a smug smile before the fight, but that smile soon disappeared when Jeff Horn came on him like an Octopus.

                    While I believe Manny edged it out, Horn fought his heart out and both men were bruised and blooded at the end. He showed more heart than Keith Thurman.

                    Pacman was growing content in his career, this loss lit a fire under his belly and now he is back with a vengeance.

                    Underrated fight tbh. Loved the Australian sun and crowd.
                    One of the more spectacularly obvious robberies in boxing history

                    Horn was a dirty MFer

                    Horn was busted up by punches
                    Pac was bruised up by headbutts and shoulders.

                    Glad his 15 minutes were actually more like 7.

                      vs Agapito Sanchez - another fight that was like Horn, except Sanchez was DQ'ed

                      Sanchez was always a handful, better than Horn

                      I don't think the Spence fight will play out like these two fights but if Spence has Manny going, he might get physical yeah
