Nearly two years later, Manny Pacquiao has his revenge.
The 35-year-old Filipino beat back the challenge on Saturday night of the same fighter -- Timothy Bradley -- who'd beaten him in a wildly unpopular decision to take his WBO welterweight title in June 2012.
Pacquiao got the nod this time, winning two scorecards by 116-112 margins and a third by a 118-110 score.
"I knew I had to do more in this fight than I did in the last fight," said Pacquiao.
CBSSports.com agreed with the scoring, giving it to Pacquiao as well, 115-113.
"Manny was a little sloppy tonight but I was happy with his performance," Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said. "It looked like Bradley was going for a one-punch home run."
The loss was the first of Bradley's 10-year pro career and dropped him to 31-1. Pacquiao is now 56-5-2.
