Political angles swirl over Pacquiao-Bradley rubber match (Reuters)

The 37-year-old Pacquiao, who has said this will be his final fight, lost a controversial split-decision to Bradley in 2012 and two years later won a decisive unanimous decision against the American to level the score. This will be Pacquiao’s first fight since having surgery on his right shoulder to repair a long-term rotator cuff problem, an injury he said robbed him of his power in a lackluster showing against Mayweather in boxing’s richest ever contest. “I have been working on my right hand and my right hook which is very good,” said Pacquiao, who has not had a knockout since 2009.
