Before eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao and now World Boxing Organization (WBO) world welterweight champion Jeff Horn squared off on Sunday in Brisbane, most boxing analysts gave the Australian a very slim chance to win. Timothy Bradley, who lost two of three fights against Pacquio that all went the distance, said in the article “Bradley: Pacquiao Showed His Age, But Horn Didn’t Win the Fight,” published on Monday in boxingscene.com that Horn clearly lost the fight. “I’m not saying that Jeff Horn won this fight. Manny Pacquiao caught him with the cleaner, effective punches…Honestly, I think Jeff Horn, honestly, lost this fight,” Bradley said. Nate Loop in an analysis published in bleacherreport.com titled ““Manny Pacquiao vs Jeff Horn: Judges’ Scorecards, Fight Stats and Reaction,” published on Monday, gave credit to Horn despite the Australian facing a champion no longer in his prime.
