    I had it scored for Horn 115-113, I could see 114-113 Horn if you give Manny a 10-8 round for almost taking Horn out.

    It feels that way but that's because I've been paying more attention the older I've gotten. When I watch the old tapes there are tons of robberies.

    Nope, not even close. Since I was the one that pointed that phenomenon out on the RBR, I was cognizant of it then, and I was cognizant of it the night of Horn and Pac. I never fall into that trap, also it's not like I had all the pro-Horn commentary swaying me, and I predicted Horn would win, so I was expecting what I saw. Which probably gave me a clearer head to be able to more adequately process what was happening. Kind of like how I predicted Sor Rungvisai's victory, an processed that in the moment better than most. And no, none of that is confirmation bias, because the official judges, who had zero reason to agree with me or take the side of the underdog, agreed with me.

    Those who scored it for Horn never get to cry about robberies.

    How was he exposed? Was Mikey Garcia exposed when he moved up to fight a man two division north of where he should be? That's irrational thinking fueled by hate, nothing more. You always say you want weight bullies to move up to their rightful division, because you want to see them lose, well he did, he moved to 154 for Mundine, but then moved up one more, which was a bad idea. Once again, nothing more.

    The judges are girls. You score like a girl.

    I've seen you ***** about far less than the BS Horn pulled that night and cry robbery In far less controversial fights that went against the guy you picked. The Horn underdog pick clouded your judgement and you overlooked all of his cheating.

    Pretty much this. Anyone who scored it for Horn is pro cheating tactics. Don't ever cry about that **** again.

    Yeah, that's exactly why I scored it for him.:rolleyes:

    Now remind me, why did the official judges, and then he majority of the panel they brought in to rescore it go for Horn as well? Did they all pick HORN BY UPSET too?

    :lol:

    Want to post the odds for both fights here? And lol. Zarafa isn't even close to being elite or top contender. He was picked because he's local and viewed as an easy fight. It was a cherrypick gone horribly wrong. Horn was supposed to win this fight but he got his ass kicked. Where were all these concerns before the fight and why didn't the odds reflect them?

    It was a close fight in my eyes, much closer than most here, but I had Pac winning. But, Pac has gotten some decisions his way vs Marquez so it all comes around.

    Cheating or no cheating, Horn still worked over Pac, it's as simple as that. What? Should we go back and DQ or overturn the results of the majority of Hopkins and Ward's wins? They cheat.

    Yeah, neither was Pablo Cesar Cano or Andrzej Fonfara. Featherfists often become power punchers against smaller fighters.

    Bradley kicked Marquez's ass, I couldn't believe the judges had that fight scored close.
