once again , another victor to manny pacquiao and to the filipinos
yesterday, april 10 2016 is the fight againts with thimoty bradley
LAS VEGAS – Filipino icon manny pacquiao dished out snatches of his glorious past to bring back the old chant of “Manny, Manny” among the 14,665 fans at the MGM Grand here as he redeemed himself on the day he bade farewell.
Pacquiao fought with the urgency of a young manny and the grace and ring savvy of the old champion to mow down Timothy Bradley two times en route to a unanimous decision that somehow made up for his dismal performances in his past six fights, including his controversial loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr., last year.
Yesterday’s fight (Saturday night in Las Vegas) brought to a memorable close one of the most colorful careers in boxing. It began in the same Las Vegas venue, with Pacquiao’s sensational victory as a whirlwind of a fighter in June 2001, and ended with this emphatic win over the American who inflicted one of his three grave losses in his last six fights.
When the final bell sounded, it was clear who the winner was. All three judges had it 116-110 for Pacquiao.
“From the Philippines!” blurted the ring announcer, triggering wild cheers from the crowd.
Pacquiao, who was astride somebody’s shoulders, raised his hands, blew a kiss to the crowd and bowed his head, hands clasped in prayer.
Pacquiao, 37, is hanging up his gloves, honoring a commitment to his family that last Saturday’s (Sunday in Manila) welterweight showdown against Bradley would be his last.
The Filipino ring master knocked Bradley down twice during the fight, first in the seventh round, with a punch, and then in the ninth, with a short left to the face.
Pacquiao promised his fans an impressive performance. Despite failing to score a knockout, he looked impressive in completing his trilogy with Bradley, with him having the upper hand, 2-1.
It was a non-title fight, but nobody cared. Not Pacquiao, not his team, not his promoter, not his fans, those who packed the historic arena, and those who watched around the world.
