此前帕奎奥的的办公室,向菲律宾媒体发布一份声明其中 帕奎奥说道:“我爱拳击,我不想看到它因为裁判的执法和判决有问题而死亡。我已经接受这个决定,但作为一名领导者,同时,我也有道义上的义务,在公众面前维护体育道德、真理和公平”。
另外菲律宾体育监管机构起草了一份报告,要求对美国裁判马克·纳尔逊(Mark Nelson)和裁判的判决结果进行“彻底审查”。委员会的申述中写道“我们正在要求审查,这可能会要求对裁判员和法官进行制裁,如果有必要的话,可以促进我们共同的目标,保护体育的完整性”。

Horn: I Don't Believe Pacquiao is Saying Things, It's His Team
Newly-crowned world welterweight champion Jeff Horn on Thursday brushed aside boxing legend Manny Pacquiao's call for a review of his controversial defeat and threw down the gauntlet for a rematch.
Thousands joined a ticker-tape parade in Brisbane in honour of the former school teacher, who said he doubted if Pacquiao had personally backed a call to review the outcome of last Sunday's title bout.
"I don't actually believe that would be Pacquiao actually even saying that himself," the Australian told Channel Nine. "Maybe it is his team around him. But Pacquiao seemed very humble in the way that he lost and thought the decision was correct. I am ready for a rematch. If he wants to come back and do it again, we will do it. That's up to him, he's got the option."
Horn: I Don't Believe Pacquiao is Saying Things, It's His Team Newly-crowned world welterweight champion Jeff Horn on Thursday brushed aside boxing legend Manny Pacquiao's call for a review of his controversial defeat and threw down the gauntlet for a rematch.

But Pacquiao seemed very humble in the way that he lost and thought the decision was correct. I am ready for a rematch. If he wants to come back and do it again, we will do it. That's up to him, he's got the option."
Written off by most observers, the 29-year-old stunned the Filipino legend with his ultra-aggressiveness to earn a unanimous 12-round decision. The result has been widely questioned, with many believing Pacquiao should have won. The 38-year-old Filipino champion Wednesday backed a formal request by the Philippines' Games and Amusement Board for the World Boxing Organisation to review the decision. "I love boxing and I don't wanna see it dying because of unfair decision and officiating," he said in a statement issued by his office. "I had already accepted the decision but as a leader and, at the same time, fighter I have the moral obligation to uphold sportsmanship, truth and fairness in the eyes of the public." In the twilight of a 22-year pro career in which he won world titles in an unprecedented eight weight divisions, Pacquiao had initially called for a rematch, but later said he would also "think hard" about retiring. In Brisbane, with chants of "Hornet! Hornet!" ringing out, the Australian boxer was handed the keys to the city and told thousands of supporters he was ready for the next challenge. "Thank you all for turning up and supporting me and my dreams and, as you can see, you never give up. "I went through a tough round nine, pushed hard through and we got there" he told the crowd. "We got that World Championship." There was no doubting the fight's outcome among fans who came out to greet their hometown hero. "(It was) an absolutely amazing performance. He (Horn) definitely, definitely, definitely won," one supporter told Sky News. |
