Filipino Congressman Manny
Pacquiao was clinical earning a unanimous decision in his rematch
with Timothy Bradley, avenging his controversial 2012 loss in their first
meeting to claim the WBO welterweight crown.
Judges Craig Metcalfe and Michael Pernick scored the rematch 116-112 for
Pacquiao, while Glenn Trowbridge favoured the Filipino congressman 118-110.
I had it 117-111 for the man known in his native land as 'The National
Fist'. That was imprinted on Bradley's head and body in this return rubber.
It was conclusive.
Hurt in the fourth round by a hard overhand right, Pacquiao used his vast
experience to get through a difficult second quarter of the fight to come
back and dominate the contest.
It was the eleventh world title belt to be placed around Pacquiao's waist in a
56-5-2 career spanning 19 years. Remarkably, he is also now 6-1 in
rematches.
