    So the WBO are going to have 5 anonymous judges re-score the fight. Even if they come back and say Pacquiao should have won nothing will change in terms of belt or result. The WBO have said Pacquiao will need to use his rematch clause if he wants to win back the title.

    Why bother with this if nothing will change?

    Also I'd imagine scoring a fight ringside & scoring a fight on TV would be somewhat different? Would they also need these 5 judges to have not seen the fight already to avoid any bias based on their 1st unnofficial viewing?

    Very odd.

    'Breadman' over on boxing scene had an interesting thought on judging. Check out his latest mailbag.

    The 5 judges came back with the same result anyway, just 5 more eejits

    Why 5 more eejits? General consensus on here is that Horn won or it was a toss up. Also all 5 judges didn't score it for Horn. The 5 judges scored it

    Horn 115 - 113, Horn 114 - 113 x2, Pacquiao 114 - 113 and the final judge scored it a draw. Again these scores tally with the what I have read on here.

    I think Pac won it cleanly imo. He was poor vs what we'd expect, but he should have been the winner

    He lost too many early rounds, you need to take off your pac tinted glasses.
