Horn put up a great performance against Pacquiao and at worst it was a close fight. As Horn was such an underdog many were shocked and the only way they could reason with it was to claim Pacquiao was robbed or that he was over the hill. Neither stands up to scrutiny.

Horn was getting beat so bad that the ref told his corner he would stop the fight if he didn't show something after the 9th round. I'll give him credit for stepping it up and finishing the fight, but he definitely lost it in my eyes----and I'm very impartial when scoring fights no matter how much I like any particular fighter. The action speaks for itself.

Most scored it close. Which meant whoever was declared the loser would claim they were robbed.
