Jeff Horn (17-0-1, 11 KOs) used a roughhouse style of fighting tonight to beat WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38 KOs) by a very questionable 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night in front of a huge crowd of 55,000 boxing fans at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia. We lost the decision.”

Roach said he couldn’t judge the fight, given how close he was. The 12-round fight at the Suncorp Stadium in front of more than 55,000 spectators ended with a controversial decision, with the three judges deciding in favour of the 29-year-old Horn, scoring 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113, reports Efe. In fact, Horn’s entire career has been contested after Pacquiao’s stunning knockout defeat to Marquez in their fourth fight — a knockout that seemed to put Pacquiao’s career on a downward slope. You give Jeff the 11th, it’s 7-5.”

Roach had said earlier in the week that he’d think about advising Pacquiao to retire if he lost the fight, but they’re already considering a rematch.
