It wasn't a fight fans clamored for, but the third meeting between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley appeared to exceed expectations.
Perhaps more importantly, it offered something the first two fights didn't as Pacquiao dropped Bradley twice in the fight, ultimately earning a unanimous decision victory at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The judges all scored is 116-110. MMA Fighting scored it 117-110 for Pacquiao.
The bout started early in a back-and-forth manner as Bradley attempted to use a guile, counterpunching and consistent movement to take away Pacquiao's trademark combination of power and speed.
