London, June 22 : Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao has won a WBO review into his split-decision defeat by undefeated champ Timothy Bradley earlier this month.
The two judges during the boxing match had scored the bout 115-113 in the American''s favour, prompting boos around the MGM Grand.
However, the WBO later met with five international judges to evaluate a video of the figh, and they unanimously scored it in favour of Pacquiao.
According to the BBC, although the original result still stands the same, as the WBO does not have to power to overturn it, but a rematch could be ordered.
It was the first defeat in seven years for Filipino fighter Pacquiao, 33, who landed 94 more punches than Bradley.
According to Bob Arum, the promoter for both fighters, Pacquiao has indicated he would prefer the rematch over Bradley forfeiting the WBO welterweight title. (ANI)
