“He’s the better fighter. He has impeccable timing and great footwork.I lost one fight. The war is not over. I gotta go back to the gym and get better,” Bradley admitted during his interview after the fight.
Experts says that Bradley had greatly improved since his last fight with Pacquiao in 2012 while the 35-year-old Manny Pacquiao was no longer as powerful as his previous fights. Despite this, the Saranggani congressman proved that his fire is still alive leaving Bradley on his defensive position for the last six rounds.
“I had to do more (this fight), it’s very different (from) the first fight. He improved a lot. He showed his toughness. I hit him with solid punches, but he’s still standing,” Paquiao said in his after fight interview.
Pacquiao’s victory opens the doors to have another fight, fifth fight, against Juan Manuel Marquez, if the Mexican boxer wins his fight against Mike Alvarado on May 17 (May 18, Philippine time).
“It depends on my promoter Bob Arum…my job is to fight in the ring any opponent,” Pacquaio said.
It can be remembered that Manny Pacquiao lost his recent fight against Juan Manuel Marquez by a surprising knock out. Prior to the unexpected knockout, way back in 2012, the Filipino boxer lost against Timothy Bradley via split decision with a recorded score: 115-113, 115-113 and 113-115. These two losses quite created a downfall to Pacquiao’s rank in the boxing world.
However, Pacquiao’s failure fueled his desire to bring back again his reputation in boxing. With his new victory against Timothy Bradley, the greatest Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao improved his record to 56 wins, 5 losses and 2 draws with 38 wins coming by way of knockout.
meanwhile, the video of the mother of Manny Pacquiao cursing Timothy Bradley was going viral.
Manny Pacquiao’s victory proved again to the world that he’s the pound-for-pound king, the pride of the Filipinos. His undying desire of bringing home the crown entitled again another honor to our country. Congrats, Manny!
