Pacman opened the 3rd round with a left straight followed by another short left but Bradley countered with his own short right. Manny started to get aggressive and pursued “Desert Storm.”
Pacquiao continued doing his business until the 8th round. He continued to hit Bradley. Timothy, had his own business to do in the ring as well.
At the 50th second on 9th round, Pacman dropped Bradley hard on the canvass with a short but strong left hook right in the American’s wide-opened and defenseless jaw. That was Pacquiao 2nd scored-knockdown that gave him ample lead on the judges score cards over Bradley.
During the penultimate round, Pacquiao was keeping his distance against Bradley while throwing few jabs. Pacquiao held on his ground without lowering his ground until the 12th and final round to secure the victory.
With the win, Pacquiao will go home to resume his political campaign with the championship belt. Manny was firm on his decision that this is final fight and vowed to be more focus if he wins a senatorial seat on May 9.
