Bradley had carefully planned his defense that the Mexican fighter could hardly cause damage to him. If Bradley fought the way Manny Pacquiao did, he might have ended like the Pacman too – victim of a lucky punch?

Reactions on Twitter were varied, some saying Bradley deserved the win, and some were still unable to accept Bradley‘s triumph over Marquez. Meanwhile, “Manny Pacquiao” trended on Twitter as boxing fans analyzed what Bradley‘s win meant for Pacquiao‘s boxing career.

A fan tweeted:

“Bradley beat Marquez?!?!? Well now I wanna see a Pacquiao-Bradley rematch.”

Would the next fight be between Timothy Bradley and Manny Pacquiao?

Only Pacquiao’s camp would be able to answer that question.
