    That was home cooking. You dont give a fight to a guy for being aggressive. Jeez. Still as biased and crooked as ever. He was almost toast there for a while.

    I bet that crowd is going to party their asses off. Every bar in a 5 mile radius is going to run out of booze.

    Manny's face is clean, no damage.

    Just one more reason why I don't like the metric system. Those scores are confusing.

    There is a reason why the Mexican fighters always go for the knockout. Never leave it in the judges hands. Never give them the chance to screw you. Always win with your gloves and not the score cards.

    This fight is exactly why people are giving a shit less and less about boxing and it takes an mma fighter like mcgregor to ignite the hype that is around that fight for whatever reason. More and more are watching mma, less and less are caring about boxing. Shits corrupt

    Did they read the scores backwards?

    I don't have a problem with the decision. There were only three rounds that Manny clearly won, the rest could go either way.

    You people are too swayed by biased announcers.

    People are leaving boxing for MMA because it's younger and more exciting. And I agree with them. Boxing has always been corrupt though. In fact in the 30's and 40's it was outright thievery. But boxing didn't suddenly go through a period of outright fair play and then get progressively worse.

    Did you see the punches landed stats? Very clear that Manny dominated.

    Some, perhaps. I personally was scoring the fight round-by-round based on what I saw, not what I heard. For one of those judges to score that fight 117-111 for Horn is absolutely inexplicable.

    Should've said upside-down with it being in Australia and all. Missed opportunities.

    Lesson 101 in boxing or mma, don't leave it in the judges hands.
