Manny Pacquiao knocks down Timothy Bradley twice in win

Manny Pacquiao knocked down Timothy Bradley twice in an overwhelming victory on Saturday night in Las Vegas to take the rubber match in the trilogy between the men.

The Filipino put Bradley on the canvas in the seventh and ninth rounds before winning by a 116-110 score on all three judges’ cards.

Here was the first knockdown Pacquiao recorded against Bradley:

Pacquiao caught Bradley flush on that punch, even though it looked like a slip.

There was no question about the second knockdown — it was as solid as they come:

After claiming a relatively easy victory over Bradley, one must wonder whether or not Pacquiao will retire. The 37-year-old is running for a senate seat in his native Philippines and has said it will be his last fight, but some of those surrounding him are not so sure. He has said in the past he wanted a rematch with Floyd Mayweather, so maybe he’ll keep gunning for that.
