Boxing fans all over the world were surprised when Jeff Horn defeated Manny Pacquiao at “Battle of Brisbane” on July 2, 2017 via unanimous decision in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. At least six Hollywood actors immediately took to Twitter to slam the decision.

“Boxing needs to figure out a new way of judging these fights,” LL Cool J tweeted. “this pac man fight was a pure robbery.”

2. Donnie Wahlberg

6. Kirk Acevedo

Acevedo is so mad about the “Battle of Brisbane” decision that he even described it as a disgusting one. The actor, who is set to star in “Insidious: Chapter 4,”
