From CBS sports, Teddy Atlas of ESPN tells Horn he lost the fight

Jeff Horn won over Sen. Manny Pacquiao this morning at Brisbane Australia in an unanimous decision 117 -111.   Many fans and boxing experts are disappointed if not furious.  A hometown decision?

Many noted the following:  head butts, grappling, wrestling from Horn.   Pacquiao sustained headbutt wound that required 14 stitches. (The doctor is from Las Vegas and did a very good job)   Pacquiao in a TV interview with Dyan Castellejo complained that the inexperienced referee did not stop Horn from the headbutt and other unprofessional tactics, nor subtracted  points.

Other critics say it is age, lack of focus from Pacquiao, not capitalizing on the adverse effect of  sudden loss of weight by Horn.  But Horn is young fast and agressive and not awed by the 8 world division tiitle of Pacquiao.

From Bleacher Report - Twitter Reacts to Controversial Win

Twitter says that Pacman has been robbed again in the controversial loss (Another Bradley).  It could be the betting odds too.
