Pac vs Horn..do we care?

[Ron Swanson]

I thought Pac won comfortably but whatever. I've seen worse scores in other fights.

Pac was the more effective puncher.

Although to his discredit, he had the gall to mention the headbutts during the fight, accidental as they may have been.

He'll probably need close to 20 stitches on each side of his head.

And a cold

And a cold too?? Boy... to add insult to injury. That Pac stops at nothing to make excuses, don't he?

The gall of mentioning that the headbutts may have bothered him.

Two matching 6-inch gashes on both sides of his head? PFFT..... suck it up, son.

After all, how distracting can it be to have your heads crashing every other exchange during a boxing match?

Some people have no intestinal fortitude.....

Those stats were a joke. I don't believe for a second that Pac outlanded Horn 2:1. I never trust compubox. It's an awful way to judge anything. They are basically worthless.

It was a close fight, no doubt, but Pacquaio deserved the win. I'd have it 6-6 with the 9th being a 10-8 for Manny. 7-5 for Manny is also very reasonable. A few rounds were nearly a toss up. Horn was big, dirty, and Pac showed his age. Sad to see. I'd say Horn is rough and all heart, but he'd be hard pressed to beat guys like Collazo, Berto, or Algeri.

[THE THIRD MAN]

The Atlas commentary was probably one of the most biased and turgid i have ever heard in a boxing match, he hated Horn from round 1. It certainly has influenced some of the ridiculous comments made by celebrities who were wrong ( Samuel L Jackson and Kobe Bryant who are screaming robbery ). Lennox Lewis should know better. There was no robbery here, Pacman got old and Horn was too tough for him. No way compubox got those stats right. Horn was with Pacquiao all the way in that fight except for Round 9. I'm surprised Horn won, i'm surprised he even went the distance, but then again i'm not surprised Manny Pacquiao is done and dusted at age 38. 115-113 seems fair to me.

Bob arum is behind all of this..he makes me sick.

He loves a rematch with Top rank fighters..he is milking it for all it's worth.

Even though I thought Pac won I'm most bothered by the punch stats. The suggestion Horn only landed 92 punches is absurd. That's not even close. That's less than 8 punches per round. It doesn't reflect the fight at all.

This was not a good defensive fight by either. It was a clumsy slug it out war. The punch stats should reflect that.

Because these numbers and the scores are wrong instead of talking about a clumsy exciting battle we are talking about punch stats and robbery.

The night should have ended with Pac having his hand raised and later saying in the press conference he doesn't really have it anymore and he will retire. Then people interested in fighting the best could fight for that belt.

A rematch doesn't do anything for saying who is the best at 147. That's what championship fights should be about, who is the best. Not a lifetime achievement award, not an award for effort.
