Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley Live Results
Round 1: Early aggression from Bradley, who looked to be taking a quick lead. But Pacquiao came back to land some nice shots at the end of the round and probably steal it.
Round 2: Bradley was busier and looked to make it more of a wild fight, but Pacquiao kept it technical and again outboxed him.
Round 3: Pacquiao starting to really connect with that straight left, and Bradley isn't able to find an answer for it yet. Good round.
Round 4: The most dominant round yet as Pacquiao rocked Bradley with a flurry in the final minute. Pacquiao looking good here and really pulling away with it already.
Round 5: A bit of a slower round at first, but Pacquiao again turned up the heat in the final minute, connecting some heavy shots on Bradley.
Round 6: More of the same, as Pacquiao is firmly in control. Bradley needs to find his way into the fight somehow.
Round 7: Bradley trying to use more defensive movement here, but Pacquiao continues to outland him at will. At this point, it's hard to see Bradley having any rounds on the scorecards, meaning he needs a knockdown to win it.
Round 8: Less output from Pacquiao here, but he continues to score. Also, our first headbutt of the fight, though it didn't cause much damage either way.
Round 9: Another round to Pac. Bradley looks like he's slowing down and his hands are dropping in the exchanges. He's in danger of getting knocked down here.
Round 10: Not much from either man here. Is Pacquiao slowing down to coast to a decision?
Round 11: Decent work from Bradley at times here, but still some power shots from Pacquiao. KO or bust for Bradley in the final 3 minutes.
Round 12: Hats off to Bradley, who still brought it in round 12, trying to win the fight (and possibly taking the round), but it was too little too late.
Official Decision: Timothy Bradley def. Manny Pacquiao via split decision (115-113, 113-115, 115-113)
