Pac vs Clottey came directly after De la Hoya. If ya not familiar with his earlier, best wins that won him the nickname Mexicutioner, say so & ill post fights.
Check the puzzle, does it fit

Re: General boxing discussion, news, updates, etc.
I watched the fight in full twice. First time with Teddy Atlas commentary I thought Pac edged it. But I saw the last round with the British commentary who had a totally different outlook on the fight, they actually had Horn winning. That made me think damn I better go rewatch this fight.
I rewatched it on mute, honestly its a tough fight to score, but if I was a judge I would have said it was a draw. There were a lot of rounds that could have gone either way. Teddy Atlas commentary was the most bias commentary I've heard in a sport in a long long time. You could hear him get all excited as soon as Manny started coming on, he was dismissing everything Horn did. He was looking for reasons to discredit Horn every time Horn was hitting Manny and was exaggerating the shit Manny did. The more I see the highlights and hear Teddy, the more it pisses me off. Both he and SA Smith are acting like this was a clear win for Manny and a clear robbery, this was a close fight that could have gone either way. The thing with Pacquiao is he usually tries to steal the end of rounds, but people forget about the beginning and middle where Horn was mostly doing all the fighting.
I'm a fan of both Manny and Horn. Horn has fought a lot of his fights here in NZ, so I've been a fan of his for a couple years and I always knew he had it in him to at least compete with Manny. I think people are still underestimating him.
