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 Gam

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. &q

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Manny Pacquiao says he loves and supports gays and lesbians, even though he does not approve of gay marriage. The world champion boxer and Filipino congressman has been criticized ever since he gave an interview to the examiner.com website in which he opposed President Barack Obama's support for gay marriage. Pacquiao said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press that he doesn't support gay marriage because of his Roman Catholic beliefs. But he says he has gay friends and relatives, and supports their rights. The previous story contained a Bible passage calling for the death of "a man (who) lies with a man," and Pacquiao says many readers erroneously believed he had quoted that verse. He says he had not. Pacquiao was banned from filming a television show at a Hollywood shopping mall after the article appeared, and a petition appeared on change.org to persuade sponsor Nike to dump him.

At the end of a tough, long night,Floyd Mayweather Jr.was left staring at a June 1 jail sentence and a boxing landscape that he seems to believe cannot deliver another quality opponent. The unbeaten 35-year-old champion late Saturday said he's leaning "80-20" toward retirement. "If it was my last fight, I gave them a bang," Mayweather (43-0) said after his unanimous-decision (118-110, 117-111, 117-111) triumph over Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto (37-3) at MGM Grand. "There's really no one for me to fight anymore." Well, there's Manny Pacquiao, but with the sides divided over money, ego and whatever else they can think up as leverage, who else is there? The obvious backup to Pacquiao seemed to beMexico's21-year-old Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (40-0-1), who dominated Pomona's Shane Mosley by unanimous decision Saturday. But Alvarez's promoter Richard Schaefer said after the fight he'd just booked the rising star an
