WBO ASKED TO REVIEW FIGHT; DECLARE IT A NO-CONTEST

Mon, 11 Jun 2012
After the controversial result of the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley fight, most fight fans interviewed are one in saying that the World Boxing Organization (WBO) should try to review the fight, and order it a no-contest.
Owing to the questionable nature of the decision, fans all over the world felt that something right should be done, and that the sanctioning body of the fight, which is the WBO, should try to do the right thing as it has always had, and declare it a no-contest to avoid giving boxing in general a black eye that would take sometime to heal.
"This is one of the most outrageous robberies in boxing in the last 20 years," said a fan online when interviewed.
Indeed, most of the media personalities and experts polled after the fight are one in declaring that Pacquiao should have won the fight, and that the wrong person got his hands raised after the 12-round bout.
The WBO, being the world's biggest and most respected boxing organization today, is expected to be at the forefront of efforts to correct what is wrong in boxing, and should it choose to, boxing should be the biggest winner at the end of the day.
