Jeff Horn gave an insight into why he recently retired from boxing but still believes he defeated Manny Pacquiao in a 2017 abomination.
The Australian lost to Pacquiao courtesy of a beatdown at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The result was clear as day, with most people with eyes, apart from the three judges at ringside.
But years later, despite nothing changing from several rewatches, Horn refuses to admit he was either very lucky or something untoward was going down.
Horn stepped away from the sport citing the Pacquiao’ win’ as his greatest achievement. However, without any acknowledgment of the robbery, Horn’s victory is a hollow one at best.
Manny Pacquiao beat Jeff Horn senselessly
Pacquiao beat him senselessly for much of the fight and had Horn’s blood all over his body during the sickening punishment.
Even as he waved goodbye to the sport citing memory issues – probably stemming from Pacquiao’s blows, Horn still couldn’t bring himself to admit his biggest triumph in boxing was handed to him on a plate in an injustice.
“I could have taken $1 million for another fight [against Michael Zerafa], but my health is more important than wealth,” Horn told Courier Mail down under. “To be honest, I’ve had my concerns.
“I’ve had some issues with my memory. I’ve had some tests done on my brain. I was told that if I kept going, there was a high potential risk of things worsening and my brain suffering more.
