but nikkas already know how I score I prefer clean shots over just random aggression :manny: and while Horn was the aggressor Manny was landing the cleaner shots.

I feel the same way, that Manny landed the cleaner shots, however IMO there's more to scoring a fight. Horn was in Manny's chest the entire night sans round 9, making him fight his fight-ring generalship. People say that Horn aggression was ineffective..........but he was ripping Manny w that weird ass euro 1-2 where he shifts when throwing his right........and pac would back straight into the ropes (b/c he never learned how to exit with his back food sideways) and get ripped with body shots. I found myself having to go :jbhmm: Yea Pac got that round :yeshrug: while Horn's were clear. Good fight.

Manny shouldn't retire unless he loses a rematch...

I don't care what those 3 judges at ringside nor an "investigation" ran by Bob's organization says. I'm not a fukking dummy. Jeff Horn did not win that fight.
Su-Pac you're probably top 3 here of regular posters who's opinion I respect, how'd you score the fight round by round? I've watched it 3 times now and can't come with anything besides Horn 116-112/115-113 or Draw. Speak on it.

Why Hearn is so unpopular among many British fans?

It always seemed strange to me cause he seems to be a big part contributor to this current UK boxing renaissance so I don't get why is he so disliked.

I'm not a Brit tho so there's maybe some background story I'm not aware of.

Because of the constant mismatches he puts his fighters into on ppv cards. And he used to always just be visible. People felt like he was taking shine away from the fighters with his constantly need to be on camera talking. He kind of fell back a little bit afree he was booed by the whole of Wembley :mjlol:

Uk scene is absolute fire at the moment. I don't even watch international boxing anymore unless it's big fights and fighters I'm a fan of.

fukking ohara davies fell in love with his power and got schooled by that Scottish dude who was a very good amateur. I hate Scottish people they make English people look tolerant with their racism.

This guy Anthony yarde is an absolute monster. Super athletic, massive puncher and very relaxed and calm. He's going to be athletic world champion for sure.

Issue is that Manny had to go thr distance w/a fighter of Horn's caliber in the 1st place.

Manny better choose his next opponent carefully
