Manny Pacquiao vs Jeff Horn Thread Discussion

[champion4ever]

This was a tough fight for Manny Pacquiao. I congratulate and give all props and tip my hat to Jeff Horn on a hard fought victory. While, he was game and put up a very spirited effort; Yet he did not win this fight tonight but Manny Pacquiao did.

Manny is looking much older now and should just retire. He struggled with an handpicked, over matched, overachieving and heavy underdog opponent whom he was expected to knock out and mop the floor with but failed.

This was a very tough and grueling bout for the soon to be 39 year old Manny Pacquiao and we don't know just how much he has left in the tank after a fight like this and overall career which has spanned over 22 years.

I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if he gets knocked out in the rematch.

Steve A. Smith ripped Tim Bradley a new ****** jahaha

Bradley is trying to justify Horn's Win, because he got a gift like tnat too. lmao hahaha

Horny...I mean Horn is corny....props for going 12 with a declined ATG though....Pac won that imo

[ChampBox@PR]

Stephen A. Is going HAM on the judges. Now he's going off on Tim.

Does Tim understand he is supposed to be towing the company line?

Steven A ripped Tim a new one lol

Few and far between though. He didn't pull the trigger.

Horn landed his fair share of clean punches aswell.

No where close to a robbery.

Yes it was a robbery because I don't see how you can give horn 7 rounds. Even the second round looked very close

Bamboozled by these comments.

One of the cards were bad but the right man won for me.

Clearly a very competitive, either way fight.

Absolutely, Horn won that fight.

I'm a Pacquiao fan but Manny lost this fight. These Boxingscene ******s don't know their @ss from a hole in the ground. I can't believe all the idiots who thought Horn was an easy fight.

The stats seem pretty out there to me.

Can't see how they can be accurate.

And the fight was definitely close, IMO.

I thought Horn put up a great fight, but I just can't see how anyone could have had him winning. 116-112 or worst case scenario 115-113 for Pacquiao.

I am not directing this toward you because you seem like a decent unbiased member here, but the majority seem to agree with the punch stats when the numbers favor their fighter and disagree with the numbers when they are against their fighter.

You don't see it but I don't think you are thinking rationally.

There's definitely 7 rounds you can give Horn.

Going into the second half of the fight, Horn became the bookies favourite to win the decision. There's a reason for that.

Close fight. Clearly!

I disagree because I had Horn winning.

Rooting for the Pacman though.

I think the best thing to do in regards to punch stats is not pay attention all together. Clearly a flawed system.

And those ones seem pretty far off in my eyes.
