Who really won the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Jeff Horn?
What did the judges scorecard tell us?
Judge Weleska Roldan scores it @ 117-11, while Judges Chris Flores and Ramon Cerdan both scores it @ 115-113 in Favor of Jeff Horn winning against Manny Pacquiao unanimously.
In my opinion this is a close fight and therefore I strongly disagree with the scoring of judge Weleska Roldan who had Jeff Horn winning on every round except the 3rd, 8th and 9th round.
Manny Pacquiao stunned Jeff Horn around 2 mins. of the 9th round and started pounding Jeff Horn with 1, 2 combinations making Jeff Horn right side of the face bleed and his right eye closing. I thought Manny had Jeff Horn already but at the same time I am also watching Manny Pacquiao who seemed to have slow down toward the end of the 9th round. Then come the 10th round where I thought Manny will continue his onslaught or press Jeff Horn even more to knock him down or knock him out but Manny Pacquiao actually did nothing as if he doesn't have energy anymore and was resting he wasn't even punching.
So who really won the fight? I think it is a close fight but Jeff Horn won the fight because Pacquiao let him won the fight. From the start of the 1st round it was Jeff Horn who showed aggressiveness and was always busy, Manny Pacquiao was reduced to counter punching and he is not a counter puncher and Manny is allowing Jeff Horn to hit him. Had Manny Pachquiao started early (on the 3rd round) what he did in round 9 (doing his 1-2 combination) he would have knock Jeff Horn out.
Anyway congratulations to Jeff Horn and to Manny Pacquiao for being a good sport and accepting the judges decision.
