See its this sort of dillusional idiocy which prevents me from taking horn fans seriously. Im not, nor have I ever been a "fan" of pacquiao. I appreciate his achievements but i don't have any emotional attatchment to him. Going into the fight i knew he was finished, he's been on a steady decline for about 6 years now, I also knew he was fighting a bigger man in his hometown in probably the most corrupt boxing nation on earth. Frankly, i expected a robbery. Thats exactly what we got.
I had PAC beat horn too. Had he legitimately beat Pac, I would have given him more of a shot to beat Crawford. As it is, this is a tough fight for Horn. But I'm rooting for the school teacher!
So let me get this straight, was Horn winning 5 out of 7 rounds on your scorecard and every other person who scored it for Pac, part of this Luciferian Arum plot as well? Did Arum or anyone else think Horn could actually win that many? Honestly? Did they know something that no one else knew? Since most picked Manny to win by easy peasy stoppage in a walk in the park. Wait! Was Manny himself in on that plot? Did they really think "robbing" a world renown legend drawing the ire of every boxing fan on earth and mountains of hatred and condemnation down on the head of poor Jeff, be some kind of boon to Aussie boxing? That that would open up the Aussie market? Did Old Scratch Arum really think a fight between a much maligned and hated fighter like Horn would make for a more profitable fight against Bud than bonafide PPV superstar Manny Pacquiao? Goddamn, that's impressive, decrepit old half senile Arum had the Mephistophelean vision to know in advance that Horn would manage to win 5 rounds off of Pac, mwahahaha, close enough for a robbery, mwahahahaah, and not get stopped, and of course in the process of going 12 hard fought grueling rounds and not getting stopped, show how "easy to beat" he is, and how "vulnerable" he is, and how he's an "accident waiting to happen" by going to war, roughing up, manhandling, beating down, and weathering a sustained 2 minute storm of power punches from a guy who managed to drop Bradley and Vargas in his last two matches, without going down, would be an easy fight for Bud. That is what I call hell of a lot of forethought right there. If stretching logic to its breaking point, you can only cobble together 7 measly rounds, which is precariously close to a draw, the absolute best you can give Pac, in a fight where almost every round was 55-45 close, that's not a robbery my friend. It was a close fight that Horn outhustled Pac in, and Horn is not an easy fight for a guy who's never fought at Welterweight, based on styles, Pac is actually the easier fight of the two. Horn won, it was close, but no robbery here, and no nefarious Satanic plots, get a grip. You and all of the other butthurt conspiracy theorists literally sound bat**** insane, just stop it.
Your conspiracy falls apart on many facts, not the least that not one official in the bout was Australian. So how do you get a hometown decision when the officials don't even come from the same country? Australia the most corrupt boxing nation on earth? Your talking utter shite.
Just the length and Australia is not only the most corrup boxing nation but the most corrupt SPORTING nation. In quick succesion you had the horn robbery, the steve smith ball tampering and lucas browne drug cheat. Australian sport is rotten to its core
So a boxing bout with no Australians involved, a boxer popped on a ped and a completely unrelated sport we don't give a **** about is what you offer.
No, you scored that one incorrectly as well. I'm a huge Linares fan, honestly I couldn't say who I liked better, and I genuinely didn't care who won. Lomachenko won almost every round of the fight.
My understanding is that home team advantage isn't just getting the benefit of friendly officials. It also includes the influence fans have to persuade officials that their favorite is doing well by their loud cheering. But I don't blame Horn getting the nod on "home cooking." Unlike many people on here, I don't believe that boxing is riddled with corruption. I think it's just filled with incompetence. For instance, the same chick judge that gave Rungvisai his first victory over Gonzalez also gave Horn his victory over Pacquiao. She like Adelaide Byrd, C.J. Ross, or Julie Lederman has no business being anywhere near a ring.
People who live in glass houses, dude. We all make our share of errors. Is anybody in Kirk's league batting higher than 80%?
