Manny Pacquiao’s 15 fight win streak is over. The Filipino boxing legend was on the losing end of what many are calling the most controversial decision in boxing history.
Saturday Night in Las Vegas, Pacquiao lost his WBO Welterweight Championship by split decision to Timothy Bradley Junior. That’s despite ringside statistics heavily favoring "Pac Man".
In power punches, Manny connected on 190 to Bradley’s 108, and total connections favored Pacquiao 233-144.
Following the fight, promoter Bob Arum said "i’m going to make a lot of money on the re-match but this was outrageous." A rematch is expected for November 10th.
