Unanimous decision: Pacquiao wins over Timothy Bradley!
Pacquiao wins. All three judges turn in scores of 116-110.
being drowned out by cheers in the arena, Pacquiao’s in-ring interview with HBO’s Max Kellerman is “Every round I’m looking for the knockdown,” Pacquiao says. Kellerman asks him about possibly fighting Canelo or Mayweather, but he hardly takes the bait.
Kellerman also had an interview with bradley and asks what happened on the knockdowns. “I don’t even remember, man,” he says. Kellerman helpfully points to a monitor. The sixth-round flash knockdown: “That wasn’t really a knockdown, he kind of pushed me dwon with his glove.”
monitor then shows the footage of the second knockdown: “Ooh! Yeah, he caught me good with that one.”
Bradley added : “[Pacquiao] is very quick, very explosive, it’s hard to really judge him. And he’s experienced. He used his experience against me.”
1st round
The 25th round of the trilogy begins. Pacquiao nearly halfway across the ring when the bell rings, looking to be the aggressor. The fighters circle one another pawing with jabs. Bradley connects with a left jab to the face. Not much action so far. Cheers of Manny! Manny! but crowd quiets waiting for a landed punch. It is strangely quiet in the arena. A poor round. The overly patient Pacquiao managed to do less.
Guardian’s unofficial score: Pacquiao 9-10 Bradley
2nd round
Bradley still looking to establish the jab whie Pacquiao looking too well,it's quite uncertain An opening, to put it charitably.

6th round
The sixth isn't exactly like the fifth. A slow start.
Bradley's good flurry gets Manny’s attention. a minute left
and Pacquiao darts in with another combo. the crowd screams
with delight. A nice combo upstairs by Bradley but not sure
how cleanly it landed. A very close round that could go
either way, one of several swing rounds that could see scores
all over the map if it goes the full 12 rounds. Manny looks
faster. He is starting to find his range. looking more and
more apprehensive isn't in a good situation
