definitive win this time around, after their controversial ending two years

time the two met in a controversial split decision, took down the
previously-undefeated American by unanimous decision, 118-110, 116-112, 116-112,
in their WBO welterweight title bout held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

For Pacquiao, his win opens the door to a fifth
battle against Juan Manuel Marquez, should the Mexican win against Mike
Alvarado on May 17, 2014 (May 18, PHL time). Manny, though wouldn’t discuss any
specifics, saying, “It depends on my promoter Bob Arum…my job is to fight in
the ring any opponent.”
Back in 2012, Bradley won 115-113 115-113 113-115 despite Pacquiao looking like he dominated most of their match. Pacquiao followed that up with a shocking KO loss to Juan Manuel Marquez, prompting some to regard him too old to become a serious contender in the sport.
