    Well for it to be a hometown "robbery" wouldn't the judges have to be from the hometown or at least the country they are in. Apparently the judges were : two from the USA and one from Argentina. So it's not like any of the judges were from Australia and all 3 judges had it for Horn.

    That's different than A Floyd decision win when all 3 judges are from Vegas or something.

    It was close fight. Judges may have been swayed but it wasn't like PAC had an easy night. Horn applied lot of pressure and came back in round 10 after nearly being out. I had it for PAC but boxnation had it for Horn. Close fight. I can't call it a robbery. To me Holyfield Lewis I was a robbery Kovalev Ward I was a robbery. PAC Bradley I was robbery.
    This wasn't. Or at least wasn't nearly as bad

    2 USA judges (one giving 117-111 lol) and one from Argentina on a top rank card which Manny is one of their marque fighters..

    It wasn't a home town decision....

    Horn edged it by 1 point in my view.

    I thought the all but one or two rounds were easy to score.

    I stand corrected not hometown judges but maybe influenced by the hometown crowd. i thought PAC won but I've seen much worse. 117 is terrible though.

    Manny should have finished the fight in the 9th but gassed out. Didn't see any real flurrys. They've been fewer and shorter of late but he didn't have any tonight. He missed his shot in the 9th tho thats for sure. And Horns clinch saved him.

    Right because as we all know its the judges place of birth is what determines hometown, not where the fight is actually held and whether that has any bearing for advantage for said fighter. Duh!

    The problem is that it seems the commentary in the US seemed biased for Pac (from what I've read), I watched the Boxnation one and they were thinking after 5 rounds was probably 4-1 Horn. Also they didn't note when PAC hit horn at times it would stop him dead in his tracks

    Horn put up an excellent fight and excellent comeback he did start to gas but was carried by the crowd and his determination and grit.

    There was en excess of fouling from him though and other fighters would have been docked a point. I mean at times he repeatedly headlocked manny I counted 3-4 times in a minute of one round. He also used his size to lean on Manny which probably tired pacman out more

    A rematch would be interesting

    If I give Horn the benefit of a doubt in every close rds, he maybe could have won 5 rds. But rd 9 could very well be a 10-8 for Pac.

    On a fair card I think Pac wins by at least 5 pts, which is also reflected in that Pac landed three times as many punches and almost the double amount of power punches, and that Horn missed many more punches.

    But he did look his age last night. He should settle this in a rematch and then retire. If Horns doesn't agree to an immediate rematch I think it's better that Manny retires rather than wait for him.

    Horn won the first 6 rounds. Ended up 8-4 to Horn. Not even close on the cards. Manny had to stop him in the 9th.
