WOW, Another Boxing Robbery! Manny Pacquiao Loses Unanimously To Jeff Horn In Austraila! (Original Blog)
Since many people don't even know who Jeff Horn was before the Pacquiao fight was made, I couldn't find any gifs of him and had to settle for a Ricky Hatton one. Pacquiao hasn't scored a Knockout Win, or Forced Stoppage TKO Win in over 7 and a half years, but in the 9th round of this recent fight, it looked like Jeff Horn was about to go down, even the Referee after the 9th round told Jeff Horn that he believed Jeff had taken too much damage, and if Jeff didn't show him something in 10th round, he would stop the fight. The Referee clearly said to Jeff Horn that he was looking out for his health and well being, yet Jeff Horn lasted the remaining three rounds to the final 12th, and it went to the judges score cards.
Me and my wife were completely shocked, like the rest of the sports world all over, when the judges announced a unanimous and completely biased score card in favour of Jeff Horn. This means that Team Pacquiao definitely won't be securing any type of rematch with Floyd Mayweather, but rather a redemption revenge rematch with Jeff Horn.
Pacquiao loses his WBO belt to Jeff Horn, and although it was a competitive fight, I had Pacquiao winning the majority of the rounds and Jeff Horn, although aggressive and relentless, wasn't effective and very sloppy in many areas.
He showed heart but Pacquiao showed style, footwork and accurate punching.
Did any of you watch the fight? I feel like this was set up, and of course since Pacquiao came to Jeff Horn's turf/territory, he knew that things like this were possible, but you always need a KO win to avoid Judges robbing you of your victory when you are a foreigner/stranger at another man's hometown, with given advantages.
Time for Pacquiao to get back to training for this rematch. I believe after this fight, Pacquiao may retire, or attempt one last match, before returning to his full time position as Senator in the Philippines

My very own wonderful gif logo provided to me by the generous and kindhearted @papa-pepper Thanks again very much!
Woah, cant believe he lost.
It was so bad... I couldn't believe the judges' scorecards. Manny clearly won, and many big Youtubers and media channels are covering the Boxing Robbery.

That's crazy. I didn't get a chance to see the fight. I didn't even know the fight was going on. I like Manny, and that's unfortunate. It's not the first time though I've seen something like that. UFC has had a few fights to which I've been like "wait...what???"
Yeah we can't be invested emotionally in these "business" fights, it's pretty saddening though
Its sucks when officials or judges become the story . Thanks for writing about sports!
Yeah it does, but Manny Pacquiao should've not let Jeff Horn come back alive after the 9th round, especially in Australia. I'm looking forward to the rematch for sure! You're most welcome thanks for checking in.
