Horn is awkward as hell, but this has been far more entertaining than I expected.

Pacquiao finishing this off would be big for ESPN/Top Rank, as I'm sure a decision is the last thing they want in a fight where a casual fan tuning in probably thinks Horn is dominating (prior to that 9th).

I could see some judges having this close. Don't think they will have all gone 10-8 like Atlas did.

Is that twice the stopped the fight with ~10 seconds left? Looked like it happened in the Mosley fight too.

We all win if we get to see a rematch. Like Rocky vs Creed II

Or that'll happen...what the fuck?
Lol

I don't know what Horn was, but Manny was -550 on CarbonGaming a couple hours before the fight.

I can't believe two judges had it 115-113 but 117-111? You should be barred from ever watching any athletic competition.

I'm disgusted. What a joke.

117 - 111 is a crime but I knew it was going to be way closer than Atlas's card. Even Bradley was saying that. I had it for Manny but this was less of a robbery than when Timmy got the JD over Manny. Still a robbery, don't get me wrong.

Nope. I'd put it way higher than that because you know... Bradley had actually accomplished things in the sport.

This is bad, man. Boxing always finds a way to embarrass itself

Late, but this decision was obviously already in the tank. Pacquiao didn't seem surprised or upset in the least. Put this one on ESPN to sell more PPV buys for the rematch. Boxing is so dirty.

But people will buy it for the rematch. It's the Vince McMahon way of doing it.

I don't know, I think Atlas had 4 rounds for Horn. So 8-4, 2 judges had it 7-5 the other way. Three rounds different. I've seen a lot worse.

This announcers and fighters interview looks to be awkward.

You were trying to push him around, elbowing and butting. I hope Crawford knocks this dude out bad.

Hasn't Manny retired after almost every fight the last 5 years? He already knew the rematch was planned. When a fight is fixed, I thought they normally try to make it less obvious and make it a split decision or at least a majority decision.

He landed nearly twice as many punches, the harder punches, much higher percentage, and had the only big win round. This was not a close fight.
Why have judges if all you have to do is count punches? I had Manny winning. You can always count on judges to favor aggression. Even Tim Bradley said it was close and he was listening to Atlas all night.

Why do you keep saying even Tim Bradley? When did he become the guy to listen to? He's a novice boxing analyst. And you don't need to count punches, but when the disparity is so big, it's embarrassing. Seriously, "even Tim Bradley" didn't think he won.
