    To no great surprise the WBO will not be overturning the results of the Pacquiao vs. Bradley fight. The WBO president Franciso Valcarcel reports that a five-member panel of judges reviewed the fight and had Pacquiao as the winner, according*to RingTV.

    However, the results of the fight will stand. The WBO will not be overturning the fight, and will merely recommend a rematch between Pacquiao and Pacquiao but won’t be ordering one. What a waste, eh? Why did the WBO even bother to review the fight in the first place?

    The end result: order a rematch. But a rematch was already established through the clause long before the fight even occurred. Idiots.

    Then again I really wouldn't call it a waste of time if my job is to sit around with a beer and watch a boxing match. Good on them if the panel was actually paid for their "work" or lack thereof.

    Like the WBO had the power to overturn the result.

    Their review will only add fuel to Senator Reid and McCain's new bill.

    As angry as you are today, let me just add some more salt, Time is going to pass the rematch may or may not take place, Bradley is still an undefeated fighter who is aggressive and has a boxer puncher kinda style he is 28 and has plenty of time to not only establish his own legacy but stamp himself as one of the very best.

    Honestly in two more years, Bradley is going to be a well recognized champion like it or not!
    The man fights anybody who is out there to fight, goes to their backyard, he has faced adversity in the ring in his fights with Holt and Now Pacquiao fighting on with two injured feet.
    I am sorry but though your angry at him today, Tim represents everything that is good about Boxing you want a fighter that is willing to risk that 0 you want a Champion who is willing to meet undefeated fighters.
    you want a champion who is going to fight through injury and do what he can to try and win it, you want a champion who is willing to travel to someones back yard while those fans boo him and his national anthem

    Bradley represents what Boxing is supposed to be about you better learn to deal with it cus your going to see alot more of him :deal

    Good, they did the right thing. it's not everyday a sacantioning body dose the right thing. It was a close fight. Maybe a difrent 3 judges would have come up with a diffrent decision or the same.

    you cannot go back and change a decision after it was judged on. I didn't see the point in rescoring this.
