Manny Pacquiao Won Against Timothy Bradly Says WBO Judges

Jun 21, 2012 Author: Pinoy Ambisyoso | Filed under: Boxing, Entertainment, Featured, Sports

World boxing champion Manny Pacquiao has won the June 9 fight with Timothy Bradley, World Boxing Organization (WBO) said on Thursday, June 21.

According to RingTv, five judges convened by WBO president Francisco “Paco” Valcarel has voted unanimously in favor of Pacquiao after watching the video of the fight.

The judges scored in Pacquiao’s favor by 117-111, 117-111, 118-110, 116-112, and 115-113.

On the night of the fight, Bradley defeated Pacquiao by scores of 115-113 on the cards of official judges C.J. Ross and Duane Ford, while Jerry Roth had it for Pacquiao.

The report added that WBO cannot reverse the decision of the judges on June 9 despite the review of the five judges.

“The only thing that we can do is authorize a rematch,” Valcarcel told RingTV.

Pacquiao and Bradley’s rematch is scheduled on November 10. But Arum and other Top Rank officials have said that they will most likely not push through with it. It appears that Pacquiao may fight Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez for a fourth time this November, the report ended.

Timothy Bradley is set to return WBO Welterweight belt to Manny Pacquiao according to Bradley’s alleged Facebook account on Monday, June 11, 2012. The statement is now circulating on social networking sites, forums and other sites online.

The statement reads:

“After reviewing the tape over 10 times, and listening to what all my fans and haters had to say about the fight. I have made a decision. I shall return this belt to its true, rightful owner. Like and Share if you support my decision. I shall release this information to the press and media shortly.”

Another message was posted after some Facebook users called it a hoax, “I apologize for being rude yesterday, and you may believe whatever you like. But when the official statements are being announced at the conference, you will see that I am real.”

Bradley won a very controversial decision against Pacquiao on Saturday, and almost all of the reporters and fans in Las Vegas thought Pacquiao has won the fight.
