World boxing icon Manny Pacquiao won over Timothy Bradley in their fight for the World Boxing Organization welterweight crown, said a five-man panel of the WBO.
Upon its review, the WBO panel re-scored the controversial Timothy Bradley split-decision win over Pacquiao and had it 118-110, 117-111, 117-111, 116-112, 115-113 for the Filipino ring icon.
The fight's official result, however, still stands, according to WBO president Francisco Valcarcel.
"We can't change the result but we did this review for two reasons," Valcarcel told ESPN.com.
"If they want to make a rematch, we will approve the rematch and if they don't we will order one. Also, we wanted to show (the Nevada State Athletic Commission) that they could bring in other officials from outside of Nevada who can also do a fine job judging fights. It's good to have different officials."

what's the use of the review when the official result won't be revoked anyway? it's just a waste of time.
