Manny Pacquiao vs. Jeff Horn

[Huge]

Pacquiao defeated Tim Bradley and Jessie Vargas last year who are both very good welterweights, particularly Bradley. Horn is definitely world class. And he's only had 18 pro fights which is not that many in boxing terms. He'll come on enormously from this fight.

Perhaps you're right. He is the hunted now. Time will tell now that people are waiting to blow the horn....yeah, terrible I know

The thing I like about Horn is how tough he is. Some other fighters would have folded in round 9 last Sunday. He's got a great chin and is tough as nails.

He certainly was underestimated. Pac's probably an honorable fella, surrounded by too many questionable people in his ear.

Problem with re -scoring the fight is ; the people rejudging aren`t sitting on one side of the ring . They will have the TV view . That`s not the same as what the judges saw .
I have never heard of this re -scoring BS before .

Pac is just a big star and people pander to him basically.

 

[Super Freak]

If the new judges declare Manny the winner then it really shows a flaw in the system.

Why are they still sitting ring side when there is a much better way to do it?

Yes, they can rescore but they can't change a result. It's just a way to mollify people so that what's perceived to be a bad result can at least be highlighted publicly.

Judge #1 ; 8/12 rounds to Horn . Judge #2 ; 7 / 12 Horn . Judge #3 ; 7 / 12 .

Horn started fast and aggressive . Pac tried to rally . Had a good 9th round . Gassed himself trying to KO Horn . Horn comes back last 2 rounds . Fair score IMO .

I just saw those scorecards and two of the three judges gave the first 4 rounds the way I saw them too. I only point that out as I've still only seen those 4 rounds.

Hey @Huge maybe you can gove an sssessment of the rematch .

I don't get home till Tuesday night and then I have afew days to normalize after 7 12 hour night shifts. I also have my eldest brother having a quadruple bypass in a few hours and my mum has just been admitted to a different hospital so things will be turbulent for some time. I will get around to seeing the fight, I'm keen actually.

The re-score is in. The independent judges have Horn winning 7 rounds to 5.

Can you imagine if we had an independent reviewer go over just one NRL game to see how accurate the officiating was?

Put that in your pipe and smoke it Teddy Atlas.

What's the badge?

Its says Judge .
It was to illustrate where the Judges score the fight from .Ringside .
Not a TV camera angle from above and metres away from the ring . With a biased commentator adding his 2 cents .

Pacquiao is still refusing to accept he lost the fight ... lol

and he also reportedly hasn't paid his trainer.

I am very quickly losing all respect for Pacquiao
