Brisbane: Former schoolteacher Jeff Horn stunned world champion Manny Pacquiao to win the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) welterweight crown with a controversial unanimous points decision in Brisbane on Sunday. His camp had predicted a “short and sweet” win over Horn, a 2012 Australian Olympian. “The ref came over (at the end of the round) and said ‘show me something or I’ll stop the fight’,” Horn said. Lewis, the former undisputed world heavyweight champion, tweeted: “This is what’s wrong with boxing. Horn was very game but I’m hard pressed to see how he could have won that fight by any stretch!”
