(Eagle News) — Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao defeated American boxer Timothy Bradley Jr., via unanimous decision in a fight that saw “Pacman” at his best in 12 rounds.
What was dubbed as Pacquiao’s final fight was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
After the fight, Pacquiao, in an interview, said he would definitely retire.
