    WTF? You posted that NSAC already denied the lowblow, to which I posted NSAC has a habit of highly questionable rulings to which you agreed, somewhat in ze case of the TUE. Therefor...?

    Ward and Kovalev are not that well known as Manny

    I did not agree! What I said was the low blow and the TUE are not the same at all! I said the protocol for the TUE was questionable! I never agreed that the NSAC decision in the Mayweather case and the Ward case were the same. Nice try!

    Yeah but, Pac looked brilliant against Tim in their third fight, and remember this was a revitalized Bradley, who was looking like a beast, it was probably Manny's most complete performance of the trilogy. He handled Vargas who was coming off of a career best performance against Ali and near KO victory over Bradley, with relative ease, there were a few competitive rounds, but otherwise it was a complete domination, Aside from one really bad round Horn just manhandled, beat him up and walked him down, had Manny looking as disparaged as I've seen him look in some time, like he really didn't want to be there, which even Teddy in all of his nuthugging even acknowledged. This was the same Manny from the Vargas match, the Bradley match, and yes the Mayweather match, only that version had one less arm. Scorecard wise Horn just beat a two armed Manny as soundly as Mayweather did, and unlike Mayweather he did it by going to war.

    I'm so pissed I didn't put money on it either. And I laid out the reason why Horn would beat Manny and picked him.:llorona:

    People just don't know how to score fights. It's a global epidemic.

    Haven't had a chance to watch this fight, was it close or is this another drama queen circle jerk controversy.

    By the way happy Independence Day to my fellow brothers and sisters residing in the USA.

    IB had it 116-112 Horn
    I had it 116-112 Horn
    Drew101 had it a draw or one point for Horn.
    PnoyProdigy who's a huge Pac fan, had it one point for Manny.

    It's another drama queen circle jerk controversy

    Sounds close enough to warrant a rematch

    Horn missed a lot of shots, got out punched 2 - 1........................Pac won by, at least, 8 - 4 or 9 - 3...................corrupt judging.................

    Kovalev won the first fight, no doubt about it, but was cheated by the corrupt judges. In the second fight Kovalev won by disqualification if you go by the rules of boxing....................
