Boxing: Jeff Horn Scores Controversial Unanimous Decision Over Manny Pacquiao

Official scorecard for Jeff Horn vs. Manny Pacquiao:

Sherdog unofficial scorecards: Mike Sloan (116-111 Pacquiao), Gary Randall (116-112 Horn), Mike Fridley (115-112 Horn)

The running theme of the week that was Jeff Horn was a real-life Rocky, that he was this local kid with no chance to win against an all-time great world champion. But unlike in the original “Rocky” movie, Horn actually walked out of the ring as the winner and new WBO welterweight champion.

Horn (17-0-1, 11 KOs) fought his heart out in front of 55,000-plus rabid fans at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia, against Manny Pacquiao, a future Hall of Famer who has captured world titles in a record eight different weight classes.
