今天在澳大利亚的布里斯班,帕奎奥表现的并不犀利,但似乎有足够的能力在12回合中击败霍恩卫冕自己的WBO拳王头衔。这场比赛在体育馆吸引了51052名观众前来观看。
但是;三位裁判都把比分判给了主场挑战者霍恩,引起了各界巨大的不满。纽约的罗丹打分是117 - 111,阿根廷的赛丹和亚利桑那的弗洛雷斯打分都是115 - 113,结果是霍恩以点数击败帕奎奥。
霍恩以尴尬笨拙的风格和扭曲规则的战术让帕奎奥陷入了困境,有些人认为霍恩比预期表现的要好,比赛打的很积极,但勇敢的澳大利亚人还不足以赢得比赛。
礼貌的帕奎奥并没有因为靠近发际线和左眼的伤痛抱怨裁判;他告诉ESPN说;“我是一个专业拳手,我尊重裁判”。
非官方的CompuBox统计数据与官方评分完全不同,帕奎奥573中有182拳击中,比霍恩的625-92多90分。根据CompuBox的数据,帕奎奥重拳命中率50(123-380-73-428),比霍恩的40(197-199-197)更高。就连霍恩在赛前也认为,他不可能在点数中击败帕奎奥,必须KO对方才能赢得比赛。
场上裁判尼尔森第九回合结束后告诉霍恩;“如果你不能在下一回合中保持足够的竞争力,我会在回合结束时终止比赛”。
霍恩说;“我并没有受到严重的伤害,我甚至变的兴奋起来,很快就恢复了体力”。
By Keith Idec Manny Pacquiao didn’t think twice about traveling to Jeff Horn’s hometown for what was supposed to be a relatively easy fight Sunday afternoon. That decision ultimately cost Pacquiao his WBO welterweight title and left the heavily favored Filipino legend with a controversial, unfathomable defeat on his record. The 38-year-old Pacquiao wasn’t particularly sharp, but appeared to do more than enough to beat the largely unknown underdog in a 12-round fight that drew a crowd of 51,052 to Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia. Each of the three judges, however, scored the fight for the hometown challenger, who pulled off a huge upset by winning a unanimous decision. New York’s Woleska Roldan scored the entertaining, action-packed fight 117-111 for Horn, whose awkward style and rule-bending tactics troubled Pacquiao at times. Argentina’s Ramon Cerdan and Arizona’s Chris Flores both scored the fight 115-113 for Horn. The 29-year-old Horn (17-0-1, 11 KOs) was better than expected in what was widely viewed as a glorified tune-up fight for his superstar opponent, but the aggressive, courageous Australian seemingly didn’t deserve to win. The impossibly polite Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38 KOs), who fought through cuts over his left eye and near his hairline, still didn’t complain about the judges’ scoring. “I’m professional,” Pacquiao told ESPN’s announcing team following the fight. “I respect the judges.” Nevertheless, his stunning loss to the comparatively untested, inexperienced Horn marked the second extremely controversial defeat for Pacquiao in five years. Timothy Bradley, who called the Horn fight from ringside for ESPN, scored a suspicious split-decision victory over Pacquiao in June 2012 in Las Vegas. Pacquiao avenged that controversial loss by beating Bradley by unanimous decision in each of their two subsequent 12-round bouts. The former champion expects to exercise the rematch clause in his contract for an immediate return bout against Horn. “That’s fine,” Horn said. “Bring it on. I’d love to fight Pacquiao in front of you guys again.” Pacquiao entered this fight as a 6-1 favorite, according to Las Vegas and Internet sports books. He nearly knocked out Horn in a completely one-sided ninth round, yet paid dearly for failing to finish him. The unofficial CompuBox statistics, meanwhile, provided a complete contrast to the unusual nature of the official scoring. CompuBox credited Pacquiao with landing 182-of-573 overall punches, 90 more during the 12-round fight than Horn (92-of-625). Pacquiao, according to CompuBox, landed 50 more power punches (123-of-380 to 73-of-428) and 40 more jabs (59-of-193 to 19-of-197) than Horn. Even Horn admitted he entered the ring thinking he wouldn’t win by decision. “Look, I thought it would be a lot harder to get the decision [than a knockout],” Horn said. “I thought I managed to get the decision, but it was close. I thought it would be a knockout if I won this fight.” Pacquiao wildly went for the knockout in the ninth round as an exhausted Horn had difficulty staying away from him. He landed left hands that hurt Horn, but Horn held and moved his way toward ** it to the end of the round. Referee Mark Nelson warned Horn in his corner after the ninth round that if he didn’t prove to Nelson that he could remain competitive in the fight that Nelson would stop it in the 10th round. “I felt fine in that corner,” Horn said. “I wanted to keep going on. I wasn’t really that hurt. I was a little bit buzzed when he got me a little bit in that round, but I recovered very quickly.” Horn made sure to start the 10th round strong and benefited from Pacquiao essentially having to take those three minutes off because he expended so much energy in the ninth round. The 11th and 12th rounds were much more competitive, too. Roldan scored the 10th, 11th and 12th rounds for Horn. Cerdan scored the 10th and 11th rounds for Pacquiao, but the 12th round for Horn. Flores scored the 10th round for Pacquiao, and the 11th and 12th rounds for Horn. Earlier, Horn fell to the canvas with 1:27 to go in the eighth round. Nelson ruled Horn went down due to their legs getting tangled, not from a Pacquiao punch. Pacquiao and Horn traded power shots with about a minute to go in the seventh round. About 20 seconds later, Nelson stopped the action for the second time in as many rounds due to a Pacquiao cut, which was caused by an accidental clash of heads. That cut was opened over Pacquiao’s left eye, a round after an accidental clash of heads created a laceration near Pacquiao’s hairline. Horn snapped back Pacquiao’s head with a right uppercut about 15 seconds into the sixth round. Horn roughed up Pacquiao against the ropes after landing that punch. About 30 seconds later, an accidental clash of heads caused a cut around Pacquiao’s hairline. Nelson briefly stopped the action and gave a ringside physician time to look at the laceration. Nelson brought the boxers back together with 2:10 remaining in the sixth |
