PacMan considers retirement after controversial loss

Manny Pacquiao will take some time before deciding whether to hang up his gloves or take up the option of a rematch with Australian Jeff Horn, according to promoter Bob Arum.

The eight-division world champion suffered a shock unanimous points defeat to home fighter Horn at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium at the weekend, with the Filipino losing his WBO welterweight title.

Two judges scored the contest 115-113 — seven rounds to five in Horn’s favour — while judge Waleska Roldan of New York handed in a lopsided and slightly farcical card of 117-111 after a competitive tussle which saw the Aussie defy most pre-fight predictions of a handy Pacquiao win.
