That brings us to Saturday night when the lone congressional representative from the Sarangani province in the Philippines, (Congressman) Manny Pacquiao, steps in the MGM Grand Garden ring in Las Vegas for a rematch with WBO welterweight champ Timothy Bradley boxing’s first mega fight of 2014.
The two fighters first met on June 9, 2012 with Bradley winning a controversial split decision. Bradley not only took the title from Pacquiao but ended his seven-year, 15 fight winning streak. The judges’ decision caused an immediate furor. Promoter Bob Arum, who handled both fighters, was incensed. “I’ve never been as ashamed of the sport of boxing as I am tonight,” he said after the fight.
