BRADLEY DOWNS PACQUIAO AMIDST CONTROVERSY

In a fight Pacquiao seemed to have in hand,
two judges decided otherwise, giving Bradley a
split decision Saturday night and ending the
Filipino fighter's remarkable seven-year
unbeaten run.
Promoter Bob Arum fumed, the crowd at the
MGM Grand arena booed, and Pacquiao
seemed stunned when the decision was
announced. Arum said there would be a
November rematch, though he blasted the way
the decision went down.
"I'm going to make a lot of money on the
rematch, but this was outrageous," Arum said.
Bradley came on strong in the later rounds,
winning five of the last six rounds on two
scorecards and four on the third. He won
115-113 on two scorecards, while losing on the
third by the same margin. The Associated
Press had Pacquiao winning 117-111.
"I did my best," Pacquiao said. "I guess my
best wasn't good enough."
