Sydney : Australian Jeff Horn's shock welterweight tittle victory over Manny Pacquiao was confirmed on Tuesday after a scoring review by the World Boxing Organization (WBO) declared him the clear winner.
The WBO took a close look at the fight after Pacquiao, backed by the Phillippine goverment's sports regulatory body, criticised the referee and the judges and demanded a review after losing in Brisbane on July 2.
Horn stunned the Filipino legend who has won world titles in an unprecedented eight weight divisions with his ultra aggressiveness to earn a unanimous 12 round decision.
The WBO set up a panel of independent and anonymous judges who were asked to watch the bout without sound and determine who won each round.
The results were tabulated to show clearly the rounds each fighter won using an average scale based on 60, 80 and 100 percent, with three of the five officials needing to be in agreement.
A similiar method has been used to review WBO title fights before. "Upon the analysis, the findings stated that Pacquiao won the 3rd, the 8th and 9th by 100 percent; the 5th round was won by 80 percent; and the 11th round by 60 percent," the WBO said in statement.
"Horn won the 1st, 6th and 12th rounds by 100 percent; rounds 2, 4, and 7 by 80 percent; and then, the 10th round by 60 percent.
"From the rwsults, it can be established that Pacquiao won five rounds while Horn won seven rounds. Based on this analysis, Jeff Horn was the winner of thw bout".
