Unbeaten American Timothy Bradley has ended Manny Pacquiao's long unbeaten run with a controversial split decision victory over the Filipino ring icon.
One judge on Saturday scored the bout 115-113 for Pacquiao, while two others saw it 115-113 for Bradley, even though it appeared Pacquiao hurt Bradley throughout the fight -- particularly with his straight left hand.
Pacquiao fell to 54-4-2 with 38 wins inside the distance, suffering his first defeat since 2005.
Bradley improved to 29-0 with 12 wins inside the distance.
