Former school teacher Jeff Horn is the WBO world welterweight champ after beating champ Manny Pacquiao in a unanimous points decision in Brisbane, Australia.
Many were angry including other athletes like Kobe Bryant and Lennox Lewis at the judges scores but Pacquiao says he respects the decision.
This is what’s wrong with boxing. Horn was very game but I’m hard pressed to see how he could have won that fight by any stretch! #PacHorn
