Who is Jeff Horn?
Eleven years ago, Horn was a self-described nerd from Brisbane who walked into a boxing club to learn self-defence.
He read books, played board games in the library at lunchtime, and was often the victim of bullying.

Mr Horn’s idea of a thrilling Saturday night is a game of Monopoly where Mayfair is still up for grabs. He likes role-playing games. He likes a board game called Settlers of Catan where players establish a colony on a fictional island. They progress through the game by spending resources of brick, lumber, wool, grain and ore. Manny Pacquiao does not play Settlers of Catan.

Horn was outmatched by a much more experienced opponent. Kid is tough but he got beaten soundly without reservation.
#PacquiaoHorn Stats dont lie. Manny Pacquiao just got robbed for the 2nd time after Bradley's fight. 👊💪
And ESPN's damning conclusion:
Horn after:

He was working the speed bag, but the one in his trousers

The only way I see Horn winning is politics. Every single thrown/landed chart I've seen shows Pac beating him.

I am intrigued by your accusation of politics as I doubt there is any benefit to the sport by having Horn win. I think you missed the fact that this is scored like area control, not units killed. It is a bad judging system not biased judges.SuperflyTNT wrote: The problem with judges is that they have to worry about the politics too.

Nigga Plllllleeeeeease. I've been a boxing fan since I was a little boy. I'm 42 now. If politics and money wasn't a factor then how can Don King have existed?
Hometown Brisbane boy beats foreign devil in a xenophobic country. How many new Aussie fans just got made in a sport feeling massive pressure and dying sales?
But hey, don't take my word for it.
Participation Trophies
This was Manny chasing Horn, like he did over half the fight. And a rant about what a fucking robbery it was.
An analytical view on the fight including the straight up uncalled fouls.
Teddy Atlas saw a setup
And another interview showing he got robbed.
HORN LANDED 15%!!
Fuck that. The only MFs who didn't see Manny win were the three North/SouthAmerican cunts flown in to rob him.

Manny beat his ass in 8 of 22 rounds but Horn started strong.bfkiller wrote: I didn't watch this particular fight, but I will point out that judges do consider more than just the number of punches landed when scoring a round, including ring generalship
Manny never got hurt. All the head cuts were inflicted by headbutts that never got penalized. Horn nearly got knocked-the-fuck-out and looked like hamburger meat by the end. Granted, he didn't get KOed and put up a good fight but not a chance did he win. Not even by the extraneous factors.and damage inflicted.
This is an example.And sometimes fights are just fixed.
