shyt i was saying...the younger WW cats were not about their business...i kept on saying one of them should go after old man pacquiao..he had a title..should have accepted whatever deal and try to get that recognition

Broner shouldve took that fight. It would've sold huge numbers. As a huge Manny fan, he looked old sad to say.

I thought it was a close but clear decision with Pac winning. Horn had it close but he wasn't controlling the fight. I feel like manny punches had more effect than horn punches. It ain't like horn was visibly hurting manny. Horn fought like a poor man Shawn Porter so Pac should've finished the clown. Porter would have mauled this version of Pac.I was actually rooting for horn to pull it off once I seen he was "Trying" to win and I still couldn't give him the fight. Either way it go we did learn that Pac finally hit he cliff and he should never be brought up again as a top 147 fighter. I can name like 10 fighters who would've beat his Pac. Time for a new era

I would like to see more of Jeff Horn to gauge how good he is.

The style that Horn has is just a problem for older fighters period. Pac's team should have targeted more of a traditional boxer, but in their defense, they saw the money & some film & probably didn't think much of him.

No different than how you have people on here who pick against Porter every single time he fights, because they hate the way he fights.

Details bruh! :ohhh::ohhh::ohhh::ohhh::ohhh:

Atmosphere was crazy, especially when Horn was announced the winner - the stadium erupted and people were losing their goddamn minds! My seats were slightly farther back than I anticipated, but from my vantage point is seemed like Horn edged a tough, competitive fight. I'm seeing a looooooooot of people screaming robbery though, so I'm going to have to sit down and watch it in HD some time this week. All in all was a great event, and was great to see a future Hall of Famer and ATG fight live, even though he is a faded version of what he once was.

I say go for it, you never know if you good at it if you dnt try. The worst thing that can happen is you get your ass whooped during sparring and then you realize it ain't for you :yeshrug:. Regardless you can just try it out, it won't hurt.
