WBO says Pacquiao beat Bradley

• 
  
  

The special five-man panel tasked by World Boxing Organization (WBO) president Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel to review the controversial Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley WBO welterweight title fight has reached the conclusion that the Filipino did indeed win the June 9 bout.

According to RingTV, all five members of the panel reviewed the bout and all scored it in favor of the Filipino ring icon. Two judges scored it 117-111, while the other three scored it 118-110, 116-112, and 115-113.

Bradley won Pacquiao's welterweight belt via a split decision, with two judges scoring it 115-113 for the American and a third scoring it 115-113 for Pacquiao. The decision sparked massive outrage within the boxing community and even had two United States senators pushing for the creation of a national boxing commission to regulate the sport, prompting Valcarcel to order a review.

The panel's findings generally reflect the sentiment of boxing observers who were at ringside, almost all of whom had Pacquiao winning by various margins. Top Rank head Bob Arum, who promotes both fighters and who called for an investigation of the bout, called the findings a "Solomon-like conclusion".

Despite the panel's findings, WBO rules cannot allow the decision to be overturned. The most the boxing body can do, according to Valcarcel, is to order a rematch, something Arum has recently said he is no longer keen on doing.

Top 10 Asian universities of 2012

Five Philippine universities placed in the top 300 universities in Asia, according to the 2012 rankings of the international research organization Quacquarelli Symmonds Intelligence Unit (QSIU).
 
University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City remains the best university in the country as it ranked 68th in the list, followed by the Ateneo de Manila University which ranked 86th.
 
The De La Salle University landed on the 142nd spot while the University of Santo Tomas ranked 148th.
 
The University of Southeastern Philippines in Davao City, which placed 251st to 300th, made it to the list for the first time.
 
The Davao university placed 251st to 300th, with no specific rank, because only the top 150 Asian universities were published in rank order. The next 50 were in ranges of ten while the last 100 universities were in ranges of fifty.
 
The four Philippine universities all dropped from their rankings last year. In 2011, UP ranked 62nd; ADMU, 65th; UST, 104th; and DLSU, 107th.
 
Meanwhile, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology remains on top of the list for two years running.
 
On the other hand, The National University of Singapore, formerly third place in 2011, beats the University of Hong Kong on second place. The University of Hong Kong is now on third place.
 
The Seoul National University ranked fourth followed by the Chinese University of Hong Kong on fifth.
 
According to QSIU, it ranks the universities based on these indicators: 30 percent academic reputation from global survey, 30 percent papers per faculty and citations per paper, 20 percent faculty student ratio, 10 percent employer reputation from global survey, and 10 percent proportion of international faculty and students and proportion of inbound and outbound exchange students.
 
The QSIU has not released its world rankings yet for 2012.
 
Top 10 Asian universities of 2012 by QSIU:
1. Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
2. National University of Singapore
3. University of Hong Kong
4. Seoul National University
5. Chinese University of Hong Kong
6. Peking University
7. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology
8. University of Tokyo
9. Pohang University of Science and Technology

'Dead' boy sits up in coffin, asks for water and dies again in Brazil

Melbourne, June 7 (ANI): A two-year-old Brazilian boy, who was declared dead, sat up in his coffin and asked for water before laying back down again lifeless.

According to Website ORM, Kelvin Santos stopped breathing during treatment for pneumonia at a hospital in Belem, northern Brazil, News.com.au reported.

The boy was declared dead at 7.40pm on Friday and his body was handed over to his family in a plastic bag.

The child's devastated family took him home where grieving relatives held a wake throughout the night as the boy's body laid in an open coffin.

But just an hour before his funeral was to take place on Saturday, the boy apparently sat up in his coffin and said asked his father for water.

"Daddy, can I have some water," the child said.

"Everybody started to scream, we couldn't believe our eyes. Then we thought a miracle had taken place and our boy had come back to life," the boy's father, Antonio Santos said.

"Then Kelvin just laid back down, the way he was. We couldn't wake him. He was dead again.....

Mr Santos rushed his son back to the Aberlardo Santos hospital in Belem,where the doctors reexamined the boy and confirmed that he had no signs of life.

"They assured me that he really was dead and gave me no explanation for what we had just seen and heard," Santos said.

The boy's family decided to delay the funeral for an hour hoping that he would wake up again, but ended up burying him at 5 pm the same day in a local cemetery.

Santos, who is convinced that his son was victim of medical malpractice, has now registered a complaint with the police who have launched an investigation.

"Fifteen minutes after rushing him away for resuscitation, they came and told me he was dead and handed me his body. Perhaps they didn't examine him properly. Dead people don't just wake up and talk. I'm determined to find out the truth," Santos said. (ANI)

Roach calls for investigation

LAS VEGAS – Outraged by the split decision win by Timothy Bradley Jr. over Manny Pacquiao, trainer Freddie Roach said yesterday there should be an investigation on how two of the three judges scored it for the unbeaten challenger when the punchstats clearly showed the Filipino fighter dominated the 12-round bout.

“It’s outrageous,” fumed Roach. “I think the judges who saw it forBradley should be expelled. I don’t blame Bradley. It’s not his fault. Who can agree with that kind of decision? I’ll admit Manny gave away the 11th round but I told him to throw combinations and step it up in the last round which I thought he took. There was no way Bradley won that fight. Manny won that fight.”

Roach left on a private jet to Syracuse, New York, a few hours after the fight to attend his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota. He said he won’t talk about the fight in his acceptance speech. Roach will be joined in the 10-seater plane by his mother Barbara, girlfriend Dr. Maya Matthews, secretary Marie Spivey, manager Nick Khan, assistant manager Evan Dick, Michael Buffer and his wife.

Earlier, Roach said focusing on the Pacquiao bout was more important than the induction, expressing his selflessness in prioritizing his fighters over his own personal recognition. He has often admitted that the best thing that ever happened in his life was Pacquiao walking into the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles in 2001.

Roach said a protest should be filed if only to try to preserve the integrity of the fight game. Cutman Miguel Diaz, the 74-year-old Argentine cornerman who has worked with over 30 world champions, said the verdict was unbelievable and will go down in history as one of the worst boxing robberies ever.

Diaz said the injustice was similar to Cuban Erislandy Lara’s undeserved fate in losing a majority decision to Paul Williams in Atlantic City last year. Judge Donald Givens scored it 116-114, judge Hilton Whitaker, Jr. 115-114 and Al Bennett 114-all. HBO’s boxing expert Harold Lederman had it 117-111 for Lara and former world champion Roy Jones Jr. said the robbery reminded him of his 1988 Seoul Olympic tragedy where he lost in the finals but was awarded Best Boxer of the competition. The New Jersey State Athletic Control Board conducted an investigation and indefinitely suspended the three judges. Since no corruption was established, Williams’ win was upheld.

If an investigation is made on the Pacquiao loss and no corruption is established, Bradley’s win will be upheld but the judges could be suspended. Only if corruption is established could there be the possibility of nullifying Bradley’s win.

When the decision was announced, a chorus of boos echoed in the arena. Judge Jerry Roth saw it 115-113 for Pacquiao but judges C. J. Ross and Duane Ford scored it 115-113 for Bradley. Ross and Ford gave Bradley five of the last six rounds. The punchstats contradicted the outcome as Pacquiao landed more blows, 253-159, with a higher percentage of accuracy, 34%-19%. Pacquiao also connected more jabs, 63-51 and more power shots, 190-108. The stats indicated that the fight wasn’t close – Pacquiao completely dominated Bradley. But two of the three judges saw it otherwise. - By Joaquin Henson (Philstar News Service, www.philstar.com)
