Stunned Pacquiao eyes Bradley revenge

LAS VEGAS - Boxers usually look devastated in defeat but Manny Pacquiao smiled and turned his mind to quick, brutal revenge after being stunned by a controversial split decision loss to Timothy Bradley in their WBO welterweight showdown on Saturday.Pacquiao said he was “100 percent” confident he had won the 12-round fight at the MGM Grand and, like his American challenger Bradley, eagerly looked forward to a rematch on November 10 at a venue yet to be decided.“I didn’t listen to the announcement because I thought I had won (verdicts from) all the judges,” Filipino southpaw Pacquiao told reporters after ending an unbeaten run of 15 bouts.“I respect the decision but 100 percent I believe I won the fight. I don’t even remember if he hurt me one punch. He got me with a couple of jabs but I don’t remember if he hit me a solid punch in my face.“I give Bradley credit, maybe three rounds for him because in some rounds I relax. Aside from three rounds, every round I hurt him.”Pacquiao surrendered his WBO welterweight title after earning one verdict from judge Jerry Roth (115-113) while CJ Ross (115-113) and Duane Ford (115-113) gave the fight to the American.Even Bradley sounded surprised at the decision. “Pacquiao was a tough, tough warrior. This guy can punch, he has speed. He has all the tools,” he said.“I used my ability to clear some rounds, maybe the last five rounds I feel, to get the victory. I am still shocked.”
