Jeff Horn shocked most of the boxing world on Sunday morning with a unanimous decision win over legend Manny Pacquiao in Horn's backyard of Brisbane, Australia. Many thought the decision would come down for Pacquiao's corner as a unanimous decision after Pac Man landed solid counter punches on the young Aussie throughout the fight, but all three judges saw Horn as the winner and new WBO welterweight champion -- one actually scoring the bout 117-111 for the underdog.

When the decision was announced, just about everyone within arms' reach of a phone or computer -- including athletes and sports fans the world over -- vented their frustrations with the judges.
