Like I said, I haven't seen it, but from the punch stats it's grim reading. Pac landed DOUBLE the shots Horn did. That's incredible. I can't remember the last time I saw a fight where the losing fighter had landed double the amount of the victor.
Fully agree about the commentary though. I've been saying the same for long enough. Thank **** Sky axed Nick Halling, one of the worst & most biased commentators I've ever had to listen to. I remember when he referred to Luke Campbell & Tommy Coyle as "both world level competitions". The ****ing prick
Thing is though, biased (and gloating) reporting, is all fun and games, but the result of this fight will just give the Aussies a bad name. It seems that the majority have called it a dodgy hometown decision, (again, I've not seen the fight) which will resonate with the rest of the worldwide Boxing community. There's numerous high profile pundits & former fighters ridiculing the result. So nights like last night, will become a once in a blue moon event. Big PPV, elite fighters & unification fights won't happen in Oz, if fighters, promoters & matchmakers don't think their fighter will get a fair fight. Same as Germany. Very rarely do you see unifications big names, or big fights out there, unless it's two Germans.
And again, whether the result was just or not, one judge gave Pac just 3 rounds. That's either incompetence, or fraudulent. Either way, any big names will know that not only do they have to overcome the opponent in the ring, they've gotta overcome the judges aswell.
Us Brits aren't exactly shining examples either. Anthony Joshua was gifted the Olympic gold medal, Ricky Burns has been saved on a couple of occasions, Bellew got gifted against Chilemba & Brook was lucky against Carson Jones. And look how many times we've had genuine elite level foreign fighters, grace our shores in the past 10 years.
