    That is flawed logic. 4.4 million people viewed the fight and I doubt many of them were there to watch Jeff Horn Fight. Peoples view of a fighter skews their view of their scorecard also. If you poll 100 people who say pac won the fight and asked to see their score card the rounds Manny won will vary greatly. Just like the GGG Jacobs fight. The fans of Jacobs scorecards were so all over the place. GGG's fans cards were also I am sure. Boxing judges jobs are difficult.

    It's not flawed logic at all. You are now getting way into the philosophy of fans scoring fights.

    When you have 80% of the media scoring it for one guy, that speaks volume. I don't care who was tuned in to watching who fight. The world wanted Oscar De La Hoya to beat Felix Sturm so he could face Hopkins. Doesn't change the fact that ODLH got a flippin highway robbery decision there. That is a perfect example because that was a fight most people saw 7-5. I thought that was as clear as day a 7-5 win for Sturm. It doesn't matter how close it was, the wrong guy won....therefore a robbery.

    It's flawed logic without knowing how the rounds were scored. All those that that had Pac 7-5 almost certainly didn't have him winning the same 7 rounds, that's the kind of fight it was.

    I don't put nothing past Oscar when it comes to Canelo.

    I understand that, but that is not my overall point. By your standards, if 997 out of 1,000 scored for Pac while 3 scored for Horn, but the rounds are all over the place, therefore Horn has an argument because he could very well have collected 7 rounds. I disagree. a vast majority scored for Pacquiao and we witnessed a poor decision.

    The overwhelming majority would have been watching ESPN & therefor influenced by the awful, one sided commentary. I had horn winning 7-5, the same is fine for pac, it was a close fight. In no way did I witness a robbery that night.

    These mean nothing! Most of them snobs brainwashed by Atlas. I'll believe my own eyes! Horn won that fight.

    Arum definitely shafted him.

    Pacquiao should have left him ages ago. But you get the impression Pac is a nice guy. Very charitable. Easily persuaded etc. Arum don't give a **** about PAC.

    You're right, opinions mean nothing. But if they favored Horn you would be saying "see! I told you!".

    Horn missed over 80% of his punches and none of them seriously hurt Pac.

    That's called ineffective aggression. The casuals and newbies here didn't see the many
    Pac counterpunches after a lunging missing Horn arm throw. I can understand the judges
    going for Horn...they were paid off....but people on a boxing site that supposedly know something
    about boxing....smh.

    lol nah
    You sound like your deluded with silly punch stats! **** loads of people all over the world had Horn winning. Barry McGuigan , Peter Fury had Horn winning. Theres a poll on boxrec forum 60% in favour of Horn, yep it's not a dream many had Horn winning! All the yanks and these press scores are brainwashed from the espn Atlas travesty.

    A proper robbery is like Brandon Rios vs Richar Abril where no one had Rios winning.

    How many of those people watched the fight via the ESPN coverage?

    Regardless, the best judges of those listed had it very close.

    It's true that most people that think Pac got robbed watched the fight on ESPN and listened to Atlas. The best way to score a fight on TV is to turn the volume down so you don't get swayed by commentators opinions, crowd reaction, etc. You score a fight with your own eyes, not Atlas' in this case, and you score it by what you see happening in the ring. Not by punch stats in the days after the fight. Fair enough, scoring a fight can be subjective and different judges/fans like different things that can sway them one way or another, but that's boxing and it ain't gonna change.
