Wow what a fight....but no way Horn won...PacMan got robbed!
Ref almost stopped the fight in the 9th round when Jeff Horn got pummeled.
But weird things happen in boxing when you're the homer.
I'll stick to supporting MMA,way more legit! IMO

See post above on my opn. Boxing is a disgrace.....there is no reason for me to watch the sport anymore....this fight just proves it...big Guy pushes the pace, yet connects 15% of his punches, holds, rabbit punches, leads with his head....and gets the decision......it's despicable......the fight wasn't good either! Other than push the pace, he did nothing to win that fight.

#Boxing is overrated

My wife stayed up late to watch the fight. I went to bed.

So she comes to bed, I wake up and ask, "how was the fight?" She said it was a controversial decision. I replied, "Aren't you glad you wasted 2 hours of your life watching it?"

It's not worth tuning into imo. The last PPV boxing match I bought was Tyson versus Holyfield when Tyson tried to bite off Evander's ear. I said never again. What a load of crap.

I refused to make a bunch of corrupt promoters even richer, and have stayed true to that ever since.

That corruption still exists... rest assured there will be a rematch, and even more money to be had. It has become the biggest sham in all of sports, even if it doesn't cost $49.99 to watch it on PPV.

And honestly, I feel the same way about Mayweather vs McGregor next month. It'll be an absolute joke, with all of the so-called "excitement" happening in the "buildup" the next few weeks leading up to the event. I'm sure it'll get great viewing numbers, but I won't be watching/contributing to the payout.

    I almost DVR'd it but decided not to because I do not care all that much about boxing anymore. After seeing the result I am glad I decided not to watch it. Boxing has always been more than a bit crooked with the results already set before the fight begins.

    PA-PLAYA this seems to be a push to get boxing back on the map with more high profile "free" fights....ESPN seems to be the one at the forefront to broadcasting several of these in the near future...I was excited to see it as a non ppv...and I thought Manny fought a far superior and tactical fight....and on top of that out landed Horn 2:1 and was the one with more power shots. I like the direction they are headed....MMA has many free events and it keeps my interest as a result....you can't fix poor judging...MMA has to deal with it's fair share. I prefer the old PRIDE format with a 10 minute Rd. And then a 5 minute Rd. It's much easier to judge a winner based on the bigger picture vs. rds. Won....and there still is no way Horn won more rds. Than Manny.
