Jeff Horn punches out champ Pacquiao
Former school teacher Jeff Horn stunned world champion Manny Pacquiao to win the World Boxing Organisation Welterweight crown with a unanimous points decision here on Sunday.
Brisbane: Former school teacher Jeff Horn stunned world champion Manny Pacquiao to win the World Boxing Organisation Welterweight crown with a unanimous points decision here on Sunday.
Given no chance by most observers, the 29-year-old Horn's ultra-aggressive style proved too much for Pacquiao, with the three judges scoring the fight 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113 to the Australian after 12 rounds. Pacquiao, 38, is an eight-weight world champion considered one of the greatest fighters of his generation. His camp had predicted a "short and sweet" win over Horn, a 2012 Australian Olympian.
But Horn showed no signs of being overawed by the occasion, taking the fight to the Filipino great from the opening bell.
He moved forward relentlessly, not allowing Pacquiao time to find any rhythm. Pacquiao did manage to land some left jabs in the opening rounds to take the early points, but Horn refused to back away and his brawling tactics paid dividends through the middle stages.
