Stuff like this doesn't even bother me anymore. Everyone involved participates in what they know is a crooked game. They show outrage for a while and then back to business as usual. 

Im not a fan of Teddy Atlas. When you watch a sport, you shouldn't know who the commentators are pulling for IMO. Every single compliment that was given to Horn included a qualifier or a negative comment. 

Side note: I used to frequent the local fight scene and referee Nelson was a regular.

I like him a lot more after tonight.  He knows he got screwed but isn't complaining.

Horn almost seemed guilty in the after fight interviews but it's not his fault. He went out there and went after it.  He deserves props.

People who tossed money on McGregor should've bet Horn. ####. If I wasn't drunk in Cabo I would'be thought about that. It's Bradley-Pac deja vu.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's back up here:

Manny Pacquiao is a ####### garbage person. Let's never lose sight of that. He's an awful human being. That he's nice and gracious after losing doesn't cover for the #### he pulls politically in the Philippines.

Shockingly candid stuff from Teddy.

Arum doesn't seem too broken up or indignant in the post-fight interviews. Manny's next fight was already being lined up for Manila, undoubtedly against another B-level opponent. Possible they just figured it'd get more attention if they ran this one back and built up the rematch than moved on to another semi-jamoke.

Gambling fix is also a possibility. Horn's odds opened around 9/1 or so and dropped pretty quickly about a month ago. Could've definitely been something afoot on that end, Manny doesn't have fight-stopping power, so you can pretty safely buy off judges.

This weekend is packed with actual boxing.

Watching Fox right now. Should be an interesting fight. Guerrero probably doesn't have too much left in the tank, but he's plenty game enough to be beat Figueroa who seems to be a bit of a disappointment based on the type of prospect he was once viewed as. 

 
Time for Guerrero to re-evaluate his career. He just doesn't have what takes in the upper levels of boxing anymore. His legs and chin just aren't where they need to be.

Fun fight

 
Mikey Garcia is fighting this weekend! Opponent is some dude who used to be with Mayweather, I guess. 

Jermall Charlo also making his debut at 160 as the co-main.

Showtime youtube/facebook is streaming the rest of the action, FYI, including a pretty good HW scrap between Miller and Washington, as well as Frampton's stay-busy earlier in the day.

god i hope so.  I think this is broners big fight though.  If he loses this one.... tailspin.  But if he wins, he is back in the mix.  But yea i think Mikey wins.  Hoping to catch that before the jones/Cormier fight starts.

 
so what did they say was up with heiland?  Did they say he tried to wear tape on his knee but the commission made him remove it?

i could see this going 12 and broner getting an awful decision.  Mikey needs to take these rounds or ko him.

Broner ain't getting a decision here. Garcia has won at least 9 rounds, if not all of them. I know, it's boxing, but even Chet can see well enough to score this for Garcia. And he thinks Sansa Stark is unattractive and that he hung out with Joe Pesci.
