Fighters react to Manny Pacquio’s controversial loss to Jeff Horn
Manny Pacquiao (58-7-2) lost his WBO welterweight title to Jeff Horn (17-0-1) last night in Brisbane, Australia.
The bout was scored 117-111, 115-113, and 115-113 all in favor of Jeff Horn, who statistically landed far fewer punches than Pacquiao.
The judges scoring fell under instant criticism following the fight, as many fans and boxing analysts thought “Pacman” should have been awarded the decision.
Here is how the pros reacted:
The ref needs to tell Horn, stop leading with your head, #PacHorn @espn

Good night, Horn landed 15% and Pacquiao landed to 32%, and no one is ok with the decision. He didn't deserve the win.
