Pacquiao vs. Bradley Results: Desert Storm's Shocking Victory Signals Big Career

Timothy Bradley's victory over Manny Pacquiao does not only earns him the WBO welterweight title, an undefeated record and pride. It turns the boxing world on its head.

Bradley pulled this dramatic upset behind a sound approach to the second half of tonight's contest. He came out strong in Round 1, but faded throughout the fight's middle rounds.

Instead of collapsing, Bradley stormed back.

His comeback began in Round 8. Bradley changed the style of the fight and forced Pacquiao out of his comfort zone. He was able to turn a slugfest into a technician's dream fight.

Using the jab to set up other safe combinations worked for Bradley tonight. He doesn't have anything close to Pac-Man's raw power, but he has enough to keep opponents honest.

Bradley's staunch defense and quick movement was expected tonight. But everyone knew he would have to land a few punches of his own to emerge victorious.

In the match's final three rounds, Pacquiao seemed a bit out of it. Bradley's relentless work ethic was poking holes in Pac-Man's defense slowly but surely.

He landed several solid punches up the middle in Round 10 and followed that up with an aggressive Round 11. He began to throw more combinations and started to fight his kind of fight.

This will go down as one of boxing's most controversial decisions. Many observers believe Pacquiao won the fight in convincing fashion.

But the fact is, Bradley is the new WBO welterweight champion.

He stepped up on the biggest stage of his career and delivered a credible performance. You could spend all day arguing the validity of his victory, but that victory is real as long as the belt is in his hands.

Bradley's momentous win points to very bright things in this young fighter's future. His workmanlike approach and flawless tactics will allow him to have a long, successful fighting career.
