SYDNEY: Australian Jeff Horn’s shock welterweight title victory over Manny Pacquiao was confirmed Tuesday after a scoring review by the World Boxing Organization declared him the clear winner. A similar method has been used to review WBO title fights before. “From the results, it can be established that Pacquiao won five rounds while Horn won seven rounds. Instead of saying I think I won the fight, now a heap of other people — professionally — think I won the fight,” he told reporters in Brisbane. I thought I’d won the fight on the day and I think Pacquiao thought it as well.
