Teddy also said that Pac Bradley 1 was a draw too. You also said this rescore was going to be justice.
This is now officialy worst than Pac Bradley 1 and Ward Kova... Manny just needs to take the damn rematch and get this over with.. if he wins then he proves everybody wrong.. If he loses again thn retire.. no shame hes had an amazing career and has made a looot of money
Hey! So I provided a mainstream British perspective consitent with the American, are you going to show me how the world saw this differently or admit you were full of ****. America and Britian are the collective boxing media.
WBO talked up transparency, but the 5 judges are anonymous. They're not gonna bury themselves and say that the judges messed up. Not when Pac has 1-2 fights left.
Yeah. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know how to score a fight period. Like how you avoid my whole last point and this is your rebutta bro. Says a lot.
I can blame the ref and judges. Judges can't score and ref can't ref. And yes I was here commenting about the klitschkos, corrie sanders, hasim rahman etc. Yes the fouls there were bad but were less frequent and the refs more often broke up the clinching and grappling. Here horn was pretty much given a free pass to foul. He headlocked, headbutted, elbowed pac more times than mayweather cinched. He was also lacing pac a few times crikey
Surprised by the results but hey, scores have to be respected at this point. PAC wins the rematch. Horn won't be able to foul all night in Vegas.
This is so strange, can't believe we're still talking about it. I like Pac and I knew little about Horn. I scored it with the volume down, 115-113 for Horn. It was close but Horn was in front throughout, it wasn't actually hard to score. There wasn't really an argument for a Pacquaio win, he never looked in control at any stage bar the 9th round. But that's just one round. Horn won the 10th. The WBO have no motive to re-score the fight in Horns favour. I believe they've done this with the best of intentions and should be commended for doing so. Anyone still saying Pac won, do yourself a favour, drop your own bias and re-score the fight with the volume down. You'll soon find out Horn won the fight.
Once more, I'm so sick of this "volume" nonsense. I'm not a Teddy Atlas fan and his non sequitur commentary no more influenced me than Max Kellerman's "I'm against Lampley's guy" one sided drivel. Here are a sampling of Pro Pac press scores...was everyone in the US and UK hypnotized by Atlas rambling about flooded basements and what the fighters could be doing better?

I see a lot of 115 to 113 scores in there. 2 swing rounds isn't a lot. What makes these people or any fan qualified to score a fight? There also seems to be a lot of peer pressure out there to say Pac won. Also you have to consider no one wanted to see Horn beat Pac. Horn is an outsider.
The names on that list are a bunch of non-entities. The most recognizable is Dimwit Doug Fischer who has always been a B-level guy. Al Bernstein & Nigel Collins have some gravitas. How did they score it?
