    I didnt have that fight that close, if they had given it to Leonard i would have considered that quite a scandalous robbery

    Pac v Horn.

    Even as an Aussie I thought Pac won a close fight. The decision wasn’t at all controversial though and Horn fought unbelievable…but it was close and could have gone either way. The fight being in Australia probably helped Horn but Pac was certainly the A lister and could easily have got the result.

    I did score the first Spinks fight for Spinks. Yeah the rematch was something else. But I think the judges did get call right in the first one.
