Not sure if I spelled these correclty but Stephen A read a list of the judges names, as he is disgusted as most of us. I appreciate him doing that.

Judges - Waleska Rolden
Chris Flores
Ramon Serdan

That was the RTARD who only gave Manny 3 rounds??? Surprised got at least round 9 correct.

Scored it 117-111 for Horn. Incredible.

Yup! Took some serious $$$$$ for that card. She needs to be BANNED from BOXING.

I mean in general. Like, here we had a free tv fight that was available to millions to watch. Maybe to finally turn some of them who are completely on the MMA train or have the stigma that boxing is rigged, robbery decisions, corrupt, etc. etc.

I had a few buddies over to watch the fight and the first thing out of one of the casual watchers was, SEE, I told you guys boxing is so corrupt. I'm like, oh god, I'm not even going to argue with this. Yet still, it's times like these where bad decisions make the sport look bad filling the notion of what people believe boxing is all about.

3 rounds for Pac??? WOW!!!!

I don't subscribe to this. There are far more examples of an educated boxer beating a weird guy than a weird guy beating a boxer.

I understand that, but it is never easy beating a weird guy. When you're an educated, well school boxer, you expect certain things that your opponent should do. When an awkward boxer comes at you, it can throw you off your gameplan.

I still think Pacquiao won, but I understand that he didn't look good winning. He had a lot of problems in there and if this fight happened 3 years ago, I think he would've stopped Horn late.

I just don't really see neither Horn or Pacquiao beating any top guys in the current division. It's just too deep for them. Maybe in a weaker division, but not in the welterweight.

horn is so open for the uppercut when hes lunging in and i cant remember once that manny threw it

[richardt]

I like Pac, but there is a reason that he didn't face the top guys in the division. An unheralded Horn gave him some work and got the gift. Any of the top guys would humiliate Manny at this point in his career. Why do you think Mayweather is fighting an MMA guy with no pro boxing experience?

Better to lose to a Thurman or Spence at the top of the ladder than the unknown Horn at the bottom and Pac paid for that mistake. The top guys wouldnt be a humiliating loss cause people would say he was too old but this setback last night was humiliating because he wasnt supposed to be fighting an unknown to start with. Pac set himself up for this setback and like making his bed, he now has to lay in it. Now he has to rematch a guy he had no business fighting in the first place.

it's just business.....

pacfans..........


immediately following the 3rd Pac/JMM fight.....


when Arum leaned over and whispered to Marquez..... "it's just business".....


..... you guys should have found that unacceptable



just saying

[Strategic1]

Box nation analysis was off..The fight was a little closer than what ESPN had it. More in line with what Tim Bradley had to say about the fight.

I watched through an Australian feed and it was freakingly annoying how they were overly biased towards Horn.

What matters is that pretty much all the respected analysts we know in the industry scored it for Pac.

Judge through your own eyes. Don't give a $#it what Box Nation had it.

Pac won this ..close but clear 115-112.

[aboutfkntime]

blame the WBO.....

When so many were criticizing Pac for making this fight, not Thurman, Crawford, Garcia. I said that a proven long time champion should have the option to pick his own fights at some point in their careers, give a new comer a chance and a chance for the Rocky and Cinderella Man story to happen. I viewed it unbiased as a fan of the sport. I like everyone loves a true Rocky out come but this wasn't it, I had it 115-112 Pac; 10-8 9th round. The judges hurt boxing, again. The kid (Horn) is a real sport but lost the fight, I just wish judges and referees would quit ruining good fights with bad decisions.

I agree

let's blame Pacquiao and let the WBO off the hook

I understand that Manny will be copping flak for some of his earlier cherry-picks..... and rightly so..... but at this stage of this career he should be able to select whoever he wants

but sick and tired of hearing fans blame fighters for the absurd rankings of the IBF, WBO, etc.....

and just as sick and tired of hearing those same fans justify a **** selection by using CLEARLY **** ABC rankings..... like pacfans did with Horn..... and like Golovkin fans did with Wade..... etc

so..... a **** selection from a fighter CAN damage his standing..... but a **** selection from a sanctioning body can be happily ignored?

wtf..... ?

not by me.....

..... I have remembered every single ridiculous ranking made by every single ridiculous sanctioning body...... which is why I can happily remind everyone that none of them should be taken seriously
