In an absolute stunner, Manny Pacquiao lost a unanimous decision to Jeff Horn in Brisbane, Australia on Saturday night. Yes, Jeff Horn (17-0-1,11 KOs) who was a schoolteacher in Australia. While Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38 KOS) lost, it was clear that he won. The final scorecards were 117-111, 115-113, 115-113 all for the winner and new WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn.

I haven't been this upset with a decision since Stallone lost his Oscar to that dude who may have been Australian also#NoFactChecking

This 'decision' reminds me of the 1st fight between Bradley and Pacquiao. Eerily similar.

Pacquiao clearly was the better boxer but Horn was more often the aggressor and often used his size and reach to his advantage.

It's time for the OG's to hang the gloves up and let the young bucks rock out.

No way should a legend like PAC should have to go to another mans country to defend his title. Man was dead, you scored it 117-111 lmao
