TIMOTHY BRADLEY UPSETS MANNY PACQUIAO TO CLAIM WBO WELTERWEIGHT BOXING TITLE.

Manny Pacquiao tried to turn his welterweight title fight with Timothy Bradley into a brawl, but it was Bradley who won a split decision to end a remarkable run by the Filipino fighter.

Bradley won 115-113 on two scorecards, while losing by the same margin on the third. The decision was roundly booed by the crowd at the MGM Grand arena.

Pacquiao never put Bradley down, but hurt him in the early rounds and landed the harder and cleaner punches throughout the fight. Bradley fought well in spurts and tried desperately to take the fight to Pacquiao, and scored enough points with the judges to win the 147-pound title.

Bradley injured his foot early in the fight but didn't let that slow him as he improved to 29-0 with 12 knockouts.

Pacquiao, who fell to 54-4-2, landed a greater percentage of both punches and power punches but Bradley claimed the title.

"I did my best but my best wasn't good enough," Pacquiao said after the fight.

After the fight, well-known trainer and commentator Teddy Atlas tweeted that "boxing is a corrupt sport."

When asked during the in-ring interview if he thought he won the fight Pacquiao said, "Absolutely, yes."

Now I know all these white owned media houses are gonna cry and call this fight unfair but c'mon, Bradley came on hard, dude didn't come to play.......Pacquiao had to let the match wait cuz he was watching the HEATS VS CELTICS game , with the crowd and Bradley waiting for him to finish watching his game......serves him right......

I bet Mayweather will be screaming crazy in jail tonyt.......

"Boxing is corrupt" says it all. The most annoying truth here is that Mayweather jnr can now fully dodge Manny P.
