Jeff Horn Upsets Manny Pacquiao in Unanimous Decision

IALA: The fight that left Manny Pacquiao heartbroken and beaten. 

My Opinion based about the fight between Pacquiao and Horn. 


Did Jeff Horn really deserve to win against Filipino legend Manny Pacquiao? Horn walked away with the biggest scalp of his boxing career, claiming the WBO welterweight weight after his win. But he didn't look like a winner as he emerged from celebrations on Monday. He has looked like he has been attacked by a mob of attackers, disagreeing on the win he had over Manny, which was very upsetting. While fighting at Suncorp Stadium, both went through the rough twelve rounds , the intensity of the fight was like nothing I have ever seen, it looked like a movie role play, where one was to reign higher over the other.

Out of both men, Horn was left the most battered, bloody and broken. The Filipino legend managed to land 183 punches to the face of Horn during the twelve round, which to me was very extraordinary as at the age of 38 he still has some experience and a lot of power hidden behind the gloves of his.  What were the judges thinking? The referee would've stopped the fight if Horn didn't show any stabilisation, telling him to step up or else he would've stopped the fight.Image result for jeff horn vs manny
He didn't want to lose to Manny and so he did, although I didn't think it was enough to beat an experienced fighter. Want to see what getting punched by 182 punches looks like? Well take a look :

By just looking at the state of his face, I myself don't want to get into a fight like this one. He might be at risk of losing his right eye if he doesn't protect himself enough. Two big hands by Manny didn't put the Australian on the floor, which was surprising but he didn't stop and kept going. I feel sorry for Manny as his coach told him if he lost another fight he would encourage him to retire, the long time world champion Manny might be retiring soon. 

This is a mistake and clearly Manny deserved the win:

A challenge I found was reading that Horn won when it should've been Manny, clearly something was wrong but now it's time to move on, Manny lost and that's something that everyone goes through, losing.

Who do you think won?
Many thanks :)
