WBO President Paco Valcarcel. The world’s most prestigious boxing body, the World Boxing Organization (WBO), through its Championship Committee, is set to review and evaluate the fight between superstar Manny Pacquiao and American Timothy Bradley which was held over the weekend in Las Vegas.
This was announced by WBO president Francisco “Paco” Valcarcel, who was at ringside to watch the fight and award the belt to Bradley, who most observers won a highly-controversial fight against Filipino fireball Manny Pacquiao.
Valcarcel said the Championships Committee is set to gather soon and will examine “with five renowned international judges to evaluate the video of the fight (Pacquiao-Bradley) and according to its findings, the Championships Committee will make its recommendation in accordance with the rules.”
Pacquiao fought Bradley to a disputed split decision loss following their 12-round encounter with scores: 115-113 (Duane Ford), 115-113 (CJ Ross) and 113-115 (Jerry Roth).
“I want to clarify that this in no way says that we are doubting the ability of these judges, whom we consider as honest and competent,” clarified Valc?rcel.
