    I watched it in Russian (a language I don't speak), and could see that there was a real chance that Horn was gonna get the win.

    Early on I actually had it for horn. It wasn't Horn being some kind of rough housing juggernaut, as much as it was many seemingly under performing from what people expected. The high guard stance that says I don't really trust my reflexes anymore and the half fleeing almost backwards jab. Manny did start to land smarter punches after he learned he couldn't out tough this kid at his age and that the kid was wearing himself out the window of opportunity was left open wider. I thought he turned it around and that the kid was ready to go. I still wanted to believe they werent going to screw him despite the very pro aussie crowd (Both fighters entered to AC/DC hahahah) The cheering every time horn connected with a flail... and of course not much of any admonishment to horn for hitting on he break, headlocks, head butts, stiff arming, or following through with his shoulder.. or the mma sweep that sent manny down. Tough crowd. With every of of these controversies, i see less and less people ponying up for Septembers ppv.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Eight years since Manny stopped anyone and closing the show against someone who looked like a young SMW on the night was never going to be likely. The ref warning he was about to stop it after Manny showing glimpses of what he used to be in round 9 but Manny was never going to stop him at this stage of his great career. Blatant head bollocks and Horns rough edges aside it was close - ish but I thought Manny took it. A case of the wideness of one the scorecards being the robbery more than the result.

    Actually was a good fight.

    Horn was fazed and started strong.

    Spence would destroy Horn and Thurman on the same night.

    Manny said in the post fight interview that he did catch a cold on arrival.

    I also noticed his shoulder was playing up in the later rounds..lol

    People are so desperate for manny to score a knockout..what's wrong in seeing him outbox opponents?!

    Stop putting this knockout pressure on him all the time!

    He knocked out a faded Hatton nearly ten years ago but since that time he has outboxed lots of quality opponents including an undefeated Bradley.
