Pacquiao vs Bradley III

The biggest fight of the weekend as Pacquiao and Bradley complete the trilogy with their rubber match.

The records have it at one a piece but in truth Pacquiao is 2-0 but got robbed by the judges in the first bout.

Pacquiao at 37 and being in the sport for 21 years 65 fights will be making this his professional fight

His power have waned over the past 6 years but after his successful shoulder surgery we should see Manny back to being throwing that right hand. The high energy and constant movement will have dropped but that excellent boxing brain, crisp sharp punches and great footwork will still be there.

Undoubtedly the greatest fighter of his generation, an unprecedented 8 weight world champion will say goodbye to the pro ranks tonight. He was a great fighter to watch who always tried to bring top notch entertainment and action will be sadly missed.

But up against Pacquiao tonight, looking to spoil the party is a rejuvenated Timothy Bradley. He won the first fight, but strangely enough performed better in the 2nd fight but still lost. He has a new trainer in his corner as well, the veteran Teddy Atlas, who's first bout with Bradley ended with a KO for Tim against Brandon Rios.

Atlas looking to bring more power, better tactics and a game plan to beat Pacquiao. Will they try to stick and move try and frustrated Pacquiao or will they try and time the old man with the big overhand right and go for the KO.

Pacquiao might be looking to go out on a high with a KO, which will be a mammoth task against a tough and durable Bradley who has a lot of heart and a never say die attitude in the ring.

But with the shoulder surgery a success we could see that right hook come into play a lot more.

Manny does seem in better shape that his last outing, but still carrying a bit of extra weight, not in the perfect shape he was when he was 6 years ago. Bradley ever the professional comes in lean and mean

How do you see the final chapter in the trilogy going?
And how will the Great Manny Pacquiao be remember in Boxing?

Yet another very big win for Pacquiao in what has been an amazing career. A true Champion. Undoubtedly one of the greats, certainly of the modern era and if he retires now he'll be sorely missed by a sport he gave so much to.
