I've been going over Twitter for the last 30 minutes or so reading all the comments from fans about Horn-Pacquiao, damn its depressing just how mind-numbingly stupid people are. I'd be okay if they were saying, well it was a close fight it could have gone either way, but no, they're all literally enraged screaming it was an easy win for Pac, it was the robbery of the decade, (I guess they all forgot about Pac-Bradley1 and Pac-Marquez3) and look at Horn's face, look at Horn's face, and what about round 9, what about round 9. Ughhhh such a-holes.
Sadly, it appears that way, I actually I did a post on the RBR about that, and my disgust I feel at the reaction. Here it is. Teddy Atlas and Stephen A. Smith work for ESPN, ESPN has recently made a big time deal with Top Rank to carry HBO and PPV level fights on their channel, therefore Smith and Atlas are company men and shills. They had a hell of a lot riding on this card, which most tuned in for to see Manny win by highlight reel KO. They then in one of the most self defeating acts I've ever seen, assumed the result beforehand, basically bashed the fight and ran down the unknown, untested question mark Jeff Horn and his resume non stop in the pre fight coverage, thinking Pac winning was a sure thing, in the process Stephen A. made himself look like the casual loudmouth that he is. Teddy did his typical biased bloviating and as always seemed to miss everything the guy he was rooting against landed and credited the guy he was rooting for with missed punches. Tessitore and Atlas tried their best to control the narrative selling the idea to people that what they're seeing is but an illusion, that Horn isn't coming close to winning, causing most fans to question their comprehension of the sport and some their sanity. Then in spite of all the horse**** they were shoveling trying to bias the audiences view of the fight assuming Manny had won by robbery and in spite of the fact that this was their maiden voyage with Top Rank and they are now ace Top Rank shills, justice was served, Horn rightfully won, the judges for a change got it right, and they all had egg on their faces, and looked like the buffoons who DKSAB that they are. So instead of getting up on television, being humble and saying that they underestimated Horn they ****ed up and got it wrong, they proceeded to throw a butthurt temper tantrum and blame everyone on planet earth for the "robbery" and keep pushing this intellectually dishonest narrative in an attempt to make themselves look and feel better. What you saw was basically a two hour microcosm of what the Democrats have been doing since losing the "sure thing" election that they made no effort actually win. Is this really where we are as a species? The rich disinterested bigoted cash cow shows up to collect a paycheck, and gets upset by the humble small time working class school teacher in the Rocky like feel good story of the decade. And we as a collective take the side of and have a **** fit about the corporate backed privileged fat cat losing fair and square against the rugged individualist scrappy kid who put his nose to the grindstone and busted his ass for every second of that match and earned every point on those scorecards that he got. No wonder we're as ****ed up as we are.
What annoys me the most are everyone having a b*tch fit when Manny accepted the result and was a complete gentlemen about the outcome.
are we really gonna vote on Mayweather against a guy who is making his pro debut and was not an outstanding amateur ? i respect the decision of those who make the list they put a hell of work into this thank you for that but this is utter ridiculous this is no personal attack on anybody it is just sad that we no longer pick only on competitive fights .
That's the sole reason I included it, I figured if someone was as brave as I was with Pac-Horn, let them have at it, I for one won't be brave with this fight. Because at least I could see a path to victory for Horn, the only way Conor wins is by an early lucky punch.
Tbh I don't even think Conor thinks it's going to be close. He just has to last a few rounds, collect his cheque and go back to kicking butt in the UFC.
