    Not sure bad calls even out so much as just cancels out in the eyes of fan or detractors. A guy taking an iffy loss early in career is far far different than a guy coming back or rebuilding after one near the end of career. With Oscar-Tito it was a tail of two fights and has been knocked back and forth ever since. But Oscar put himself in that negative light at the tail end. Fans will instinctively hold a guy literally running and disengaging against them but still had that as extremely close I believe right down to one point. Briggs v Foreman and Casa vs Santa Cruz were outright robberies.

    Manny doesn't complain? He just isn't a loud complainer. He lets Roach do that for him. He also makes excuses for every loss.

    Pac was fortunate to get that draw against JMM. JMM easily outboxed him just about every round. The third fight was a complete robbery. No way did Pac win that fight.

    The Bradley fight was an awful decision. I'll give you that one. Last night wasn't an awful decision. It was plausible even if you thought Pac won. JMM beat Pac much more clearly in their third fight than Pac beat Horn last night.

    Those two were terrible. Toney-Tiberi was another.

    I am somewhat surprised about the decision but more surprised how Manny struggled to easily destroy a journeyman.
