The World Boxing Organization will re-score the Manny Pacquiao-Jeff Horn welterweight title fight because of the contentious unanimous decision awarded to the Australian challenger, but there is no plan to change the result. The WBO was responding to a Philippines government department's request to review the fight after Pacquiao said the decision against him Sunday was unfair. But the WBO reiterated its only hope of revoking the fight judges' decision rests on proving fraud in match officiating. Valcarcel said five anonymous judges will review the bout, assigning their own scores to rounds. "The officials who participated in this fight are all professional, distinguished, honest and honorable human beings," he said.
