    Did he really lose the Manny fight? After all he gets a lot of smacktalk I've noticed. My question is, who is responsible for spilling the beans? We all know Pacquiao has a character of humility when people beat him. So in this case he didn't stand up for himself, it was teddy atlas who made a big thing out of it.

    Who's responsibly the hero here? Was it teddy atlas for opening his big mouth and crying robbery for pac?
    Was it Pac-Man for staying so humble?
    Was it horn for just doing his job? Or was it Timmy Bradley, the only fighter on the broadcast to say Manny got robbed? Let's put this topic to rest already. Teddy was even fired from his job for doing that. Or was it the ref/ judges who were appointed official s who counted the fight.right? (In other words did Jeff horn win?)

    Your thoughts?

    Some fans blamed Jeff Horn for accepting the win with pride. I remember when the fight happened literally 90% of people on social media called it a robbery. I am certain they had some professional judges rescore it in their free time and a lot agreed Pacman won

    One of the most blatant and outright disgusting examples of corrupt officiating I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing. Absolutely disgraceful.

    Horn. :pipi

    It's clear horn won from watching it. The judges agreed. I think it was re-scored by five judges because of Manny's bitching, and again it was scored in favour of horn. Far from being a robbery, horn just straight up beat the tar out of a very arrogant pac. Like Manny's fight against Mayweather, Freddie was as quiet as a churchmouse in the corner. He had no clue and didn't do his homework with regards to horn.

    No, not even close. The judging in that match was fair and square and I really wish everyone would grow the **** up and move on. The best Manny did was maybe get a draw, that's it.

    Horn won fair and square - in my view.

    Was he rough and aggressive? Yes. Manny simply did not take it seriously enough. Paid the price.

    They call him the Jeff Hornapotamus. Not because he's fat, not because he's got birds on his back but because he's horny. He's horny!

    Pac was roughed up and beat up in a fight that had no business even being close. He should have beaten the **** outta horn but he didnt he struggled and lost a decision to him.

    I’m a big pac fan but I had him losing on the night. I think pac seriously under estimated him probably expecting another Rios kind of fight, whereas horn came into the ring with the eye of the tiger.

    If one keeps looking back at this fight then time to move on. Robbery happens all the time in Boxing and in our daily life.
    Besides, Paquiao had many , many other much more defining championship fights than this one.

    I look at this as - Where is Manny Pacquiao now and where is Horn now ? Who is more relevant?
    I say Manny RULES the day :campeon:

    I think a lot had to do with how Teddy Atlas handled the broadcast.

    And then it´s Manny. Remember when Bradley got the W? The internet went nuts. But the strange part was that most were acting as if Manny had absolutely dominated Bradley, which was not the case.

    It was a close fights and a dirty one, so it's easy to see how so many Manny fans would be so vocally upset. Rarely ever do you get scorecards posted. Just people shouting robbery!!!!

    Lets put this topic to rest by opening up a new thread about it:duh. Atlas was the instigator, very hard to tell people who dksab that Horn won the fight when an alleged expert commentator has been stating the opposite for 12 rounds. Atlas was pro pac that night because Pac was finally fighting on espn and Atlas wanted to make up for years of calling Pac a drug cheat.

    Close fight. Horn edged it. No robbery.
