    Can you find a post where I asked for this? If you can't, then you might want to reconsider your assumption.

    I wouldnt compare a controversial boxing decision to any scientific fact.

    If you feel the WBO rescoring would silence critics of the official scoring you set yourself up for a fall.

    When I replied to your "Fans are still free to debate the fight." my assumption was that we were speaking in general, but it seems that you are taking this a bit personal.

    The BS re-scoring is all but saving face for WBO. It's double BS, double Robbery to me.

    It seems to have silenced most on here tbh...

    Unless you had a emotional stake in the outcome most wold now accept the decision and move on...

    Obviously boxing is totally subjective and people are going to see things different to others especially when there's an obvious bias, any close fight will be seen as controversial with a divide in opinion. It's quite clear there was no robbery but with Pacquio being a legend and having a huge fan base any close fight he loses will be considered controversial and no matter what came from the rescoring PAC fans and those calling it robbery were going to be upset still.

    Boxing isn't politics. It isn't a popularity contest.

    That there are more people incapable of scoring boxing matches than capable should come as a surprise to anybody.

    Two groups of qualified judges have scored the fight and it is Horn by a margin of 6-1-1.

    The end.
