Manny pacquiao about to fight on espn

[clodoveo1]

Even if Manny should have won I wish the man just stayed retired.

Not sure why Manny is still fighting. I honestly believe he is low on money after trying to bribe corrupt officials in his country. He did this to get his popularity back but might have backfired

[LightsXout28c]

I lol'd when he called out the money man with his high pitched voice. Lulz his slow ass punches wouldn't even touch Floyd

[Cre8tiveLifter]

This is probably the only time that i agree with everything Stephen A Smith is saying.

wat happened

[MSUD5]

i hate stephen a smith but he is 100% correct about this fight

[YellowOnYellow]

Honestly. No disrespect.

[xXGHOST23Xx]

maybe they counted the headbutts and headlocks?

[LightsXout28c]

Why do they keep saying the fight was free? Pretty sure I pay monthly for ESPN

He's just piggybacking on Teddy's words


I did love how he read the names of the judges lmao. Were they really all three aussie?

ESPN is the CNN of sport commentary, #fakenews! This fight was TOUGH to score, it was a CLOSE fight. There's several rounds that could have went either way, and ONLY a few rounds Manny Pacquiao clearly won. To me what is amazing is everyone is so brainwashed by the commentary that HAD NO IDEA they were watching amazingly close fight and that Jeff Horn's survival of round 9 was unbelievable. The ref coming to the corner and asking Jeff Horn to show him something or he was going to stop the fight after round 9 was a punch to the gut for those paying attention because they knew Horn was winning and then him winning round 10 sealed the deal IMO.

You know Stephen A is gonna get slack tmmw after telling people to find the judges in their home and revealing the names on live TV LOL

Their names are always public

Funny how you're the only one here who thinks Horn won lmao

Pac was the champion, you have to beat the champion in a convincing fashion in order to win. The only way Horn bloodied Pacquiao was through headbutts, Manny made Horn's face look like a crushed cherry with his fists.

Horn won 3 rounds at best, rounds 1, 10 and 12.

After every fight these "experts" crawl out acting like they understand the sport so much more than everyone else and go against the mainstream opinion.

[Cre8tiveLifter]

Bradley's first fight with Pacquiao was a lot closer than this fight. I only gave Horn 3 rounds. Worst case scenario 4 rounds. He had no business winning. Fking corrupt sport. This was a great fight until that piss poor decision. Lol, this fight on ESPN was a chance for boxing to come back to the masses. LMAO!! Not with this kind of judging!

P.S. Only reason Bradley seemed a little bias in favor of Horn was to justify his own controversial win over Pacquiao the first time, but he knows Pacquiao won by a fking landslide.

Even if you are in the minority that the fight was close and Horn barely won... Please explain the 117-111 scorecard? There is nothing in that fight that dictated that kind of decision for Horn. None, unless were counting headbutts and clinches as points now.

[mrdiets]

Like I said, there's a few rounds that could have went either way. You know the thing about judging those close rounds, it becomes subjective. Go back and watch the fight and tell me which rounds Manny CLEARLY won, I can only name one and that's the 9th and there was one other. When I watch it again, I'll let you know if my opinion changes.

welp boxing sucks



can't wait until the next big matchup of mayweather/mcgregor running in circles until judges decision

Let me explain it, that judge thought Horn won 9 rounds to 3 and guess what that isn't unbelievable. See my comment above.

Will never pay for that trash. Canelo/GGG is where it's at

You have to beat the champion in convincing fashion? WRONG. You obviously do not understand boxing if you think that, the scoring system is based on round by round- not punch stats, not who is the champ, not the other guys face or what bias commentators think. Manny only CLEARLY won a few rounds, the close rounds become very subjective and can go either way.

You're clearly a casual fan. Convincing fashion means landing more punches AND being the aggressor. Horn was the aggressor but he landed less punches AND his face was turned into a bloody pulp.

Now explain to me how he won despite landing fewer punches, winning less rounds and having a bloodied face?

Cringe

[Trapstar4.4]

Lol at calling out food
The world forbids horn from fighting Mayweather .
Woulda be the worst fight of the year

[wickedman]

Horn calling out Mayweather is so sad/pathetic. Not sure which one more.

You couldn't be more wrong on nearly everything you've posted in this thread. You are saying it's a corrupt sport, yet manny pacquiao was the marquee name and everyone involved that was backing him had something to lose. Look on the bright side maybe ESPN wins here, since this downgraded Pac man to a B level fighter maybe he'll be on their network in the rematch. Oh and 3 Australian judges? haha okay..and Bradley wanting Horn to win to justify his own win over Pac Man? What kind of mental gymnastics is that?

Boxing is far from dead, and it's a good turn of events to have someone who's old and washed up like manny pacquiao to get exposed by a no body in THIS fashion because he'll fight him again and it will be an even bigger event. While the other best in the sport all fight each other- the sport is as strong as ever look at the ratings the replay of Ward/Kovalev did on HBO.
