| having watched it again, i revised my score from 120-108 to 118-110 pac.
even in the rounds where pac didn't do much for the first two minutes bradley doesn't do much either and is trumped by how pac finishes the rounds imo. | |

| i like how everybody is watching it again and coming back with 1 or 2 more rounds that Bradley might have won, yet it still remains a blowout even after giving charity rounds to Bradley to lessen the blow of an epic robbery.
Don't trouble yourselves. You had it right the first time. Pac blew him away. | |

Don't trouble yourselves. You had it right the first time. Pac blew him away. I was about to say something similar. I think people are re-watching and trying to see what rounds they can justify for Bradley. They are trying to give Bradley anything that could have been close. Yet they are still aren't even close to scoring the fight as a whole for Bradley. So basically even if you try to score being generous toward Bradley, you still can't justify him winning the fight. | |

That is the bottom line and thats why Im not watching the fight over again. You rewatch a fight if u thought it was 7-5 or maybe 8-4 not 11-1 or 10-2. | |

| I'd perhaps take any interest if Bradley had fought Mayweather but he hasn't. |

WBO scores fight for Manny Pacquiao
Updated: June 20, 2012, 11:54 PM ET By Dan Rafael | ESPN.com Recommend643 Tweet254 Comments1K Email Print
The WBO completed its review Wednesday of Timothy Bradley's controversial split-decision victory against Manny Pacquiao with its five-member international judging panel all scoring the fight for Pacquiao, even though the official result will stand.
“ My supporters shouldn't worry. We're going to get that title. ” -- Manny Pacquiao on wanting a rematch with Timothy Bradley
Pacquiao told The Associated Press from the Philippines on Thursday that he would prefer a rematch rather than Bradley giving up the WBO welterweight title that he won on a split decision because "people may think I just usurped it."
Bradley's victory on June 9 instantly became one of the most controversial decisions in boxing history. While judges Duane Ford and C.J. Ross both had Bradley winning 115-113, Jerry Roth scored it 115-113 for Pacquiao, who suffered his first defeat since 2005.
"My supporters shouldn't worry. We're going to get that title," said Pacquiao, who has the option of an immediate rematch with Bradley in his contract.
The HBO broadcasters and nearly every media member at ringside had Pacquiao winning. The crowd at the MGM Grand booed the decision heavily and there was fan outrage around the world from people believing Pacquiao clearly had won.
In the aftermath of the fight, WBO president Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel, whose organization sanctioned the title match, said he would have five judges review the video of the bout. On Wednesday, the results of that review were released. The five judges, whom Valcarcel said are accomplished judges with world title experience -- but whose names were not disclosed -- scored the fight for Pacquiao, 118-110, 117-111, 117-111, 116-112 and 115-113.
Rafael's Boxing Blog Get the latest scoop and analysis on the world of boxing from ESPN.com's Dan Rafael in his blog.
Valcarcel said the WBO has no authority to change the result. But given the outcome of the panel's review of the fight, he will order a rematch if Top Rank promoter Bob Arum declines to put on a second fight, or if Pacquiao opts not to exercise his rematch clause.
Top Rank and Pacquiao, however, simply could move on to another fight that just would not be for the WBO title.
"We can't change the result but we did this review for two reasons," Valcarcel told ESPN.com. "If they want to make a rematch, we will approve the rematch and if they don't, we will order one. Also, we wanted to show (the Nevada State Athletic Commission) that they could bring in other officials from outside of Nevada who can also do a fine job judging fights. It's good to have different officials."
Nevada generally selects officials from its own pool of in-state judges.
"We want to work together with Nevada and we think they should be open to other good officials from around the world," Valcarcel said. "But we are not questioning the honorability of the judges who scored the fight for Bradley. They are honest people. They are good officials, too, but I don't know what happened."
Valcarcel, who was ringside for the bout, said he scored it for Pacquiao, "but we have to respect the judges."
The five judges, whom Valcarcel said are accomplished judges with world title experience -- but whose names were not disclosed -- scored the fight for Pacquiao by scores of 118-110, 117-111, 117-111, 116-112 and 115-113.
Pacquiao is due to return to the ring on Nov. 10 and after the fight, he said he wanted the rematch. Bradley also said he would like to fight Pacquiao, which would mean even more money than the career-high guarantee of $5 million he received. However, since the fight, Top Rank's talk of a rematch has cooled.
Arum, who promotes Pacquiao and Bradley but who also was outraged by the decision, was pleased with Valcarcel's review.
"Paco acted very responsibly," Arum said. "I think what they did was fine."
Arum, however, did not address the rematch.
"I'm not talking about it now," he said.
After the fight, Arum was so disgusted that he called for the Nevada Attorney General to investigate the scoring. Arum told ESPN.com that he met in his Las Vegas office Wednesday with a chief investigator and a deputy from the Nevada Attorney General's office.
"I think they will look into the whole situation, but I don't think there is any wrongdoing here and we can go on with our lives," he said.
