    Pac was robbed, but at this point he needs to retire. In his prime he would have dispatched of Horn inside of 3. Now he beats him, but he has a very rough and tumble time.

    Lucky he wasn't in with Crawford. TC would definitely beat up the current version of Pac.

    Spence would KO the current Pac inside of 6.

    Paulie's the biggest Pac hater on Earth, we his score is to be taken with a grain of salt.

    I loved his knockout of Takaloo, just a vicious shot.

    So, Neil, these are Bernstein's words, not yours? I am so far past expecting reporters to know what they are talking about in boxing that I don't even really expect anything anymore.

    Beautiful shot, he had Harry Simon going a bit in their fight as well.

    Yep...

    1nce Crawford Gets Pacquiao's Timing Down, he Catches Him Coming In w/Something BIG...Or, he Keeps Pac on the End of Jab and Unloads Power Shots Off of it...

    Depending on How Much POP Travels Up to '47 w/Crawford, he Could Stop Pacquiao...

    Seeing How EASILY Horn Closed Distance on Pac, Backing him to the Ropes and Getting on the Inside, it's SAFE to Say Spence ABUSES him...That's Spence's M.O. and he'd OWN Manny to the Body...

    6 Rounds is a Safe Assumption, but it'd Likely End EARLIER...

    Bernstein Comes Off BITTER, in REED's Opinion...And REED Has Adoooooored the Man Since the 80's ESPN Boxing Days...

    Boxing Fans, Media, etc., BITCH about the Lack of Mainstream Attention Our Sport Gets, Then we BITCH On the Rare Occasion Boxing RECEIVES that Level of Attention...

    By his OWN Admission, Stephen A. Smiff is "the Average Boxing Dude" and ESPN Obviously Didn't Give Him that Platform Last Saturday Night, to Showcase his Boxing Acumen...He was There to Be Stephen A. Smiff, Period...

    In Terms of MAINSTREAM (Media) Sports Personalities, Stephen A. is about as BIG as it Gets; a Certified Lightning Rod...w/Out Stephen A., the Likely Fight ISN'T the Lead In on ESPN's "Sportscenter", Which Followed the Telecast...

    To REED, It was a GOOD Night for Boxing, All Things Considered...Entertaining Fight, Debatable Decision, and HEADLINE Coverage by America's PREMIER Sporting Entity, Over the Next Couple Days...

    Yet, All Bernstein Cares about is Stephen A. Smiff Calling Ali Funeka and Randall Bailey "No Names"???...

    Schmiff is a clown who over extended himself and disrespected boxing, but you're like "He's talking about boxing just like he talks about basketball yo!". Except he's not.

    Boxing will never fall low enough to need to beg for scraps from a mush mouth coon like Schmiff.

    Do You Have ORIGINAL Thoughts/Opinions of Your OWN, or Are You ONLY Good for Sitting Your 3rd World, Diaperweight Loving Ass on the BENCH, Itching for the Opportunity to Be a DICK???...

    Spare REED the "Yo" and "Barbershop" Shit, Dude...What are You, 15???...Completely Devoid of the Ability to Garner Attention Based on CONTENT, So You Perpetually Resort to Middle School Bullshit...

    You're the SAMEfuckingCLOWN that MINIMIZED Ali-Foreman Because "It Happened Before I Was Born", yet NOW You Wanna Act Like Boxing was "Disrespected" Because an "Average Boxing Guy" Referred to Randall Bailey and Ali Funeka as "No Names"???...

    Would You Like an Order of Fries w/Your HYPOCRISY???...Fuck Out of Here w/that Weak, 115 Pound Bullshit...

    Clearly, You're Being a Contrarian DICK, Just Because...

    Loooooooooooooooooooooong Before Saturday Night, REED KNEW Stephen A.'s Boxing Knowledge was LIMITED...

    1nce REED Saw Smiff in a Studio Capacity, ESPN's M.O. was OBVIOUS...If their Intent was an INSIDER's Perspective of Boxing, Fighters, History, etc, Max Kellerman Would've Been There...He IS Employed by ESPN, After All...

    ESPN Wanted a MAINSTREAM Take, Thus, Stephen A. Smiff...

    The Bailey-Funeka Thing Made REED CRINGE for Sure, but it's NOT Like REED Had High Expectations Either...

    The Same Guys Currently on their Boxing Soap Boxes BITCH about Lamps, Merchant, Maurallo, Bernstein, Roy, Malignaggi, and Every Single Other Boxing "Mouthpiece" That's Ever Existed Too...

    That's What Boxing Fans DO; Specialize in BITCHING...

    Instead of Saying, "You Know What, it was Kind of COOL to See Boxing DOMINATE the Bulk of ESPN's "Sportscenter" and the Airwaves of Nationally Syndicated RADIO Programs", we're BITCHING about Randall Bailey and Ali Funeka being Labeled "No Names" by a Dude who's ADMITTEDLY Lacking in his Knowledge of Our Sport...

    If Boxing were a Female, it'd Be J-Lo, w/Boxing Fans Being the Motherfucker BITCHING about her Tits Not Being Big Enough...

    Schmiff needs to stick to basketball and junior high level political analysis. That seems to be his sweet spot.

    Also, it is clear REED is a big fan of Schmiff. No surprise there.

    Per the 2nd Article, the Horn Bout ENDED Pac's Current Contract w/Top Rank...Yet Arum Will Dangle a Multi-Fight Deal Over Manny's Head, to Get the Immediate RE Made...

    Makes REED Wonder if this was the Case when Tim Bradley "Beat" Manny, Which was an Equally STRANGE Decision...

    Smith is a know-nothing loudmouth, the kind ESPN (and others) has pushed for years... "Hot Take" sports journalism... Smith, Bayless, Whitlock, Cowherd, all of them fucking morons with big mouths

    Whitlock is the biggest Uncle Tom on planet Earth. He makes Ben Carson look like Malcolm X.

    These aren't robberies, they're alternative decisions.

    It is exactly what it was. And if Pac does not make rematch, you can bet Bradley will fight him next.

    It's What SOCIETY has Become...

    With the Advent of Social Media and EVERYBODY Having their Own Voice, Debate has Gotten More CONFRONTATIONAL...It's Not Enough to Have an Opinion Anymore, it Needs to Be an In-Your-Face, Belittling, Almost ANGRY Opinion...

    And the LOUDER You Get Your Point Across, the Better...

    No One Personifies This Better than Stephen A. Smiff, Which Explains his Appeal to ESPN...

    Yup. Even if people dislike somebody and disagree with them it's about "I wonder what they're going to say". Built-in audience for reactionary idiots and the ratings in turn.

    I'd pay money to watch Screamin A Smith call a fight next to a younger Merchant.

    Larry... "Stephen, I think.... you need.... to shut... the fuck up."

    Pac looked slow to me. Not just of hand, but foot too. Manny can no longer get in and out and pivot or step around to angles the way he used to.

    There's no point in seeing Manny against the top guys at 140-147. At this point, he's not beating any elite guys. Maybe he could beat Danny Garcia, but that's no longer a foregone conclusion.

    Spence would absolutely beat him down today. Wouldn't be pretty.

    Mainstream Fans Already EXPECT Controversy when it Comes to Boxing...

    REED Thinks the Fight Itself, the Coverage it Received and the RATINGS Surpasses the Bad Decision...

    REED was up til 1-2am Listening to Callers Talking about BOXING, on a Mainstream Sports Radio Station...Following Day, Boxing was STILL the Major Talking Point...

    It was BEAUTIFUL...REED Can Count on 1 Hand the Number of Times he's Experienced Such...
