MANILA, Philippines – Fighter of the decade Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KOs), and undefeated two-division world champion Timothy “Desert Storm” BRADLEY (31-0, 12 KOs), step on the scale for the official weigh-in of their eagerly-anticipated WBO welterweight championship rematch at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday, April 11 at 5:30am
This is Pacquiao’s first fight in the US since 2012 and the first time he has challenged to regain a world title he has previously held.
Bradley shocked the world in 2012 taking Pacquiao’s welterweight title via split decision. The controversial win earned the American boxer jeers that caused him to spiral into depression, but his morale is very high heading into this rematch saying he is “ready to put up a great show.”
Pacquiao, on the other hand, said he still has the fire inside of him that carried him to legendary status in the sport, but will have to prove it against one of boxing’s toughest men. – Rappler.com
