    There were some close rounds in the first half and overall it was quite a close fight, So I'm never one to scream robbery when it's a close fight.

    I thought Pac won narrowly but can see how some of the rounds I scored for Pac, will have been for horn

    Not sure how long horn could last as champ tho!

    No way did Pacquiao outland Horn in total. I don't care what "Top Rank Punch Stats" says. Probably only really as close because of that 9th round anyway.

    Pacq looked like crap and is a spent bullet, but Horn still won a fight by butting, mauling and hitting him on the arms for 12 rounds.

    They can be off a bit, but do you really think they would be off to the tune of 2 to 1? That seems far fetched. That's a 90 punch swing. I don't think they are that far off. That tallies right with what I saw at home. Horn missed a lot, and even though Pac barely swung at all, when he did he was more accurate.

    Agree. I wasn't impressed with Pac at all other than the 9th round. Doesn't mean he didn't win the fight though.

    People are mad because Pac didn't do anything flashy. He was effective without looking like a demigod. Meanwhile, if you go off the stats, Pac was avoiding a greater percentage of Horn's punches than Lomachenko avoided of Sosa's. They call one a masterful performance and the other ****. He made his opponent miss 85% of his shots, but they are saying it wasn't solid defense. Without anything flashy happening, the difference in connect percentages for this fight was wider than in Lomachenko/Sosa. Maybe, he should have showboated more? I mean Lomachenko got hit by 23 percent of Sosa's shots. The difference in performance seems to be largely one of output. Pac was seen to be inactive so even though he doubled his opponent in connects he didn't look busy enough. Meanwhile, when Lomachenko beat Sosa he outlanded him 3 to 1 instead of 2 to 1. He looked busier, took more chances, and got more credit. Pac took no chances, he conserved his energy, so people thought he looked ineffective.

    It was a close fight that was only made to have Manny look good! Wether Pac lost, won or draw, he looked awful! He looks old and slow. Horn is a decent boxer but nothing spectacular, just decent. Any other WW tonight would have probably KO Pac or beat him decisively. Crawford, Spence, Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Brooks, even Khan would have won tonight.

    It's time for Pac to call it quits. Scumbag Arum is only getting richer by putting Pac's health at risk. Pac is an ATG already no need to continue fighting.
