American boxer Timothy Bradley who won over Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao has chosen to keep the World Boxing Organization welterweight crown and give up his own WBO junior welterweight title. Bradley thus steps up in the WBO welterweight ranks, while Mexico’s Juan Manuel Marquez takes the throne in the WBO junior welterweight category. Promoter Bob Arum wants Pacquiao to fight Marquez for a 4th time after beating him twice and drawing once. Bradley, who holds a 29-0, 12 knockout record, is hoping for a November 10 rematch with Pacquiao. Five judges earlier convened by the WBO unanimously voted in favor of Pacquiao, however, after watching a video of his June 9 fight with Bradley.
