Timothy Bradley Win Manny Pacquiao Loss WBO welterweight title: Manny Pacquiao's Reaction to Loss at Press Conference

Timothy Bradley shook the boxing world after a stunning split decision against Manny Pacquiao to win the WBO welterweight title.

Pacquiao appeared to dominate Bradley during the fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday night, but the judges felt otherwise.

Two of the ringside judges had the fight 115-113 for Bradley while the other judge scored it 115-113 for Pacquiao.

After the judges' scores were announced, most of the sold-out crowd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas voiced its displeasure.

Bradley, a native of Cathedral City, California, remains unbeaten with 29 wins, along with one no-contest. Pacquiao suffered his first loss since 2005.

Some analysts believed Pacquiao would win the bout, given he was arguably the world's best pound-for-pound fighter. He was the first fighter to win world titles in eight weight classes, but none of that mattered Saturday.

The fight did not start until late Saturday because promoter Bob Arum did not want it to compete with Game 7 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat. The Heat won 101-88 to advance to the NBA finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Now, the question is what Bradley's win or Pacquiao's loss will mean for boxing. After the bout, both announced they were interested in a rematch. Many fans have called for a potential showdown between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Mayweather is in a Nevada jail serving a three-month sentence for a domestic violence conviction.

Manny Pacquiao set to square off against Timothy Bradley

Manny Pacquiao will put his WBO welterweight title on the line Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, against Timothy Bradley.

In addition to being a congressman in his native Philippines, the 33-year-old Pacquiao is arguably the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world. With a 54-3-2 professional record, he is the first fighter to win world titles in eight weight classes.

While Pacquiao enters the bout with plenty of fanfare, the 28-year-old Bradley has proven he's no slouch. The native of Cathedral City, just outside Palm Springs, California, boasts a perfect record -- 28 wins and zero losses, to go with one no-contest.

Bradley, the reigning WBO light welterweight champ, takes special pride in his work ethic, saying no one does more inside the ring and out.

Recently on "Face-Off," an HBO show helmed by CNN contributor Max Kellerman, Joel Diaz, Bradley's trainer, and Freddie Roach, Pacquiao's trainer, sparred over who works harder in the gym.

"I don't think there's anybody that trains harder than this guy," Diaz said.

"Manny will train harder than him, and that's why we'll win," Roach retorted.

Despite Bradley's undoubted desire and record, most pundits predict Pacquiao will win the bout handily. If he emerges victorious, it remains to be seen who his next opponent might be though, undoubtedly, the buzz likely will grow again about a potential showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Mayweather is currently in a Nevada jail serving a three-month sentence for a domestic violence conviction.
