Pacquiao beats Bradley in farewell fight (Reuters)

(Reuters) – Manny Pacquiao defeated Timothy Bradley by unanimous decision in the rubber match between the fighters on Saturday, prevailing in what the Filipino says is the final fight of his career. Pacquiao, who bounced back from a controversial split-decision defeat to Bradley in 2012 with a decisive win two years later, delivered the final blow in their welterweight clash in Las Vegas as all three judges scored it 116-110 in his favor. After a slow start narrowly controlled by Bradley, the 37-year-old Pacquiao seized the momentum in the middle portion and knocked down the American in the seventh and ninth rounds.
