Did pacman get robbed?

*dumber, Pauline. You can't mess up when you are calling someone or something stupid. Now that we have that cleared up, go over to Ireland and slap Mcgregger around with head gear on for a few K a week.

 

TOOT TOOT! Hear that folks? Yes that is the sound of Jeff Horn's coming out party. Dont be tardy for this party.

TOOT TOOT! Sounding off the Horn again making sure you remember, and hear loud and clear.

TOOT TOOT TOOOOOOOOT!!!! Smell that? Smells like victory gas to me. You were all left in a cloud of the Hornet's ass gas as the final Horn sounded. All aboard, whose with me on the triple T. TTT = TOOT TOOT TRAIN

 

I thought the fight was close than TA & SAS made out to be but still 8/4 Pac for me. He either blew his wad in round 9 or coasted thinking be was way ahead. This is a perfect example of why I feel open scoring is the single most important change any sport could ever make.

If Pac knew be would lose if be couldn't win rounds 10-12 do we assume breed coast just the same ? I feel he'd of let it all hang out down the stretch. This way nobody could cry robbery every single half decent fight. Pac (for the first true time) showed his real age. He looked and fought old, even older than he is.

Spent force. Horn made it very difficult for Pac but he was there for the taking after round 3. Pac couldn't dig down, thought be turned the tide in round 9 but a single dominant round during the entire fight leaves much to be desired.

Now McCracken needs to put forth the same rough house tactics to have a shot

 

Horn did enough to make it LOOK like he won, but I thought PAC should have got the nod. Horn's roughhouse tactics, fouling and agreesion overshadowed Pac's more efficient work. It didn't feel like a robbery too me, but it it was, it was more of a misdemeanor robbery than a felony.

 

If we're all being completely honest, someone of Pacquiao's talent should have completely blown Horn out of the water and then we wouldn't have to listen to people claiming it was a dubious decision. I had Pacquiao winning but that was a close fight so no-one can moan that Horn got the nod.

I don't think Horn would fare too well against Thurman or Spence and although great fighters, I believe Pacquiao would have blown both of them out of the water in his prime.

He looked great against Bradley and Vargas but I think it's time to hang the gloves up after a fantastic career. Father-time is undefeated.

 

Eh, it's fun to troll each other on these forums, but in the real world we're killing the sport.

Every single individual in mainstream media is taking a dump on the clown sport of boxing due to the judging. The last thing boxing needed before TWO huge PPV events was for the biggest night of boxing ever on ESPN to go down as a "fraud" by everyone in the media. I've never seen the collective media as up in arms over a decision as they are today. Boxing is getting absolutely skewered on SI, ESPN, CNN, Yahoo all making this out to be no better than pro wrestling. Unfortunately i think too many casuals tuned into this mess last night.

If these two PPV's are letdowns things could get bad for boxing. Budgets might get cut even further at HBO, SHO, ESPN.

 

People need to stop using the facial damage as an indication of who won.

 

Trying too hard man...

 

Pac is 38 years old and conceded every physical advantage to the younger man. A blow out just isn't realistic in this scenario. How many fighters in their late 30s or older blow out men with reach, height, and weight advantages?

Moore vs Lavorante in the 60s..lol It don't happen too often.

 

They're too used to doped up 40 yr olds looking like they are still 30 yrs old.

 

Even then, Mayweather was roughly the same height as Maidana and Canelo, and had a visible reach advantage.

And Pac can still dominate men his own size like Bradley, but these guys coming in 10-20 pounds heavier with gigantic reaches and several inches in height...nah. It's going to be a hard night for an older guy, win or lose.

 

They wanted Pac gone to clear the way for guys like Thurman, Spence and Crawford. LHW prospect Salamov got robbed on that card as well!

 

I think that has something to do with it. I also think they want to expand the market to Australia.

 

Rewatched the fight on my iPad and scoring it round by round and tried to be as neutral as possible. I did take into consideration that the fight was in Australia.

That being said I came up with a draw 6:6 rounds. After the first 6 rounds I had it 4:2 for Horn. By the 8th I had it even because paceman came back. Round 10 I originally scored for Horn because he came back but when I rewatched it I was leaning toward paceman but still gave it to Horn on this score card.

Round 11 was really hard to score could have gone either way or even an even round.

Round 12 I gave it to PACman because his punches were hurting Horn. Again close round.

Final decision 6:6

They need to rematch. Fun to watch and I want them to do it again. I think pacmans punches were hurting Horn more than what Horn was doing to pacman. I am a pacman fan but good job to Horn for bringing the fight. It was messy, it was dirty but that's the on,y way for Horn to win.
