It's bound to be one of the biggest bouts of 2014. Now, Manny Pacquiao
will get a chance to avenge the most controversial loss of his career.
Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO's) and two-division world champion Tim Bradley
(31-0, 12 KO's) will be on hand Tuesday in Beverly Hills to announce a
much-anticipated April rematch to their disputed 2012 bout that ended
Pacquiao's seven-year, 15-fight winning streak as well as his WBO
welterweight title reign.
You'll remember Bradley's hand was raised in a split-decision victory after the two battled for the first time in June 2012, a fight many fight fans argue Pacquiao clearly won.
Pacquiao vs. Bradley 2 happens Saturday, Aprl 12 at the MGM Grand
Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. and will be distributed live by HBO
Pay-Per-View.
But you can watch the pre-fight fireworks right here today at the press conference at 11:30 a.m. PT/2:30 p.m. ET.
Bradley came into the fight with a somewhat lower profile than a typical
Pacquiao opponent. In January 2011, he won a 10th-round technical
decision in a junior welterweight title unification bout against Devon
Alexander. Previously, he had beaten then world-champion Lamont Peterson
to claim the title. After the fight with Alexander, Bradley rejected an
offer to fight Amir Khan and further unify the 140-pound division. He
signed with Top Rank and was given a co-feature slot on the
Pacquiao-Marquez III pay-per-view card in November. In his match,
Bradley beat former lightweight champion Joel Casamayor in an
eight-round fight.
