Twitter Explodes After Manny Pacquiao Is Robbed By Decision
Manny Pacquiao was robbed of his WBO welterweight title Saturday night with an atrocious unanimous decision loss to Jeff Horn in Brisbane, Australia. Horn won 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113 on the cards despite being dominated for most of the fight. It was truly an awful decision.
Folks on Twitter were shocked by the result and went nuts in the aftermath. Check it out:

Man, it doesn't get much worse for judging than botching these stats pic.twitter.com/Gn0zTJZmmC

Pacquiao has now been on the losing end of the two worst boxing decisions in the past 5 years: 1st loss to Bradley, and this b.s.

So the ref almost stops fight in round 9. Pacquiao lands 32% of his punches to Horn's 15% but somehow Horn gets the unanimous decision? ??

Instead of revitalizing boxing, it showed why the sport is dying

Gotta love Teddy Atlas. "Congratulations, great effort. But I thought you lost."

The scores of 117-111, 115-113 115-113 made sense for Pacquiao. Not sure how you anyone could score it 117-111 for Horn. Wow. Just wow.

That's the worst decision I've ever heard. That's nonsense. Pacquiao won that fight. Boxing, I hate you.

Lol. This kid telling Teddy Atlas that he felt like he was ahead when the fight almost got stopped. I'm stunned.
