有一个裁判竟然认为帕奎奥输掉了九个回合，帕奎奥拒绝谴责裁判的最终的决定；
他说；“我没想到.....但这是比赛的一部分，这是裁判的决定，我尊重他们”。
帕奎奥确定拥有复赛的权利，并决定行使这个权利，他说；“是的，我们有一个补充条款，复赛没有问题。但如果在菲律宾举行，情况会更好一些”。

A gracious Manny Pacquiao said he respected the decision to award Jeff Horn a stunning upset victory in their WBO welterweight title fight, despite a widespread belief that the Australian should not have been declared the winner on the judges' scorecards. Horn was able to celebrate one of boxing's great shock triumphs at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium as the three judges scored Saturday's fight 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113 in his favour. CompuBox statistics showed modern-day great Pacquiao, a huge favourite coming into the fight, was more than twice as efficient as his opponent when it came to the percentage of punches landed. Horn also came close to being stopped in round nine, but Pacquiao nevertheless refused to condemn the decision. "I didn't expect that ... that's part of the game. That's the decision of the judges. I respect that," said the 38-year-old. The Filipino holds the contractual rights to a rematch and confirmed he would exercise it, adding: "Absolutely, yes. We have a rematch [clause], so no problem. "It would be better if the rematch would be held in the Philippines." Horn was quoted by ESPN as saying: "I thought I was coming forward more and landing the cleaner blows. That's just my opinion." Asked how he managed to win, the new champion replied: "I don't know. I guess with the crowd behind me and all the support. "I've just believed since I was young that I could do this. There's lots of thoughts going through [my mind]. "I thought I managed to get the decision but it was close. I thought it would be more of a knockout if I was going to win this fight." |
