Pacquiao rescoring won’t alter outcome
The World Boxing Organization said it will rescore the Manny Pacquiao-Jeff Horn welterweight world title fight because of the contentious unanimous decision awarded to Horn, but there is no plan to change the result.
The WBO responded to a Philippines government department’s request to review Sunday’s fight after Pacquiao, a Philippines senator, and others said the decision against him was unfair.
The WBO reiterated that it can’t revoke the fight judges’ decision unless there is proof of fraud.
