ProBoxing-Fans.com scores it 117-111 for Manny Pacquiao

Official scorecards read: 115-113 Pacquiao, 115-113 Bradley and 115-113 Bradley! Bradley wins a Split Decision! Whoa!

And Pacquiao loses! This is a pretty bad decision. We could have been generous and given Bradley another round (the 11th), to make it 116-112 for Pacquiao… but that still would have been 8 rounds to 4!

Looks like there will be a rematch after all.

Jorge Arce vs. Jesus Rojas

Arce wastes no time, knocks down Rojas in the first 20 seconds of the fight with a left hook. But he stays calm in there and by the end of the round is wading forward and tagging Arce and pushing him backwards, the two guys are trading big shots at the bell. More action here than in the first 10 rounds of Jones-Bailey.

Right at the start of the 2nd, Rojas nails Arce with a special combination – a head butt followed by a low blow, and then a series of punches! Arce is lying around on the canvas and the doctors come into talk to him, he’s saying if he stands up, he’s going to fall. They’re going to have to call this one off, Arce is either in really bad trouble, or he’s bowing out of this fight.

Bayliss is calling it an unintentional foul, and therefore a No Contest. Awesome.

Arce-Rojas: No Contest

Mike Jones vs. Randall Bailey Results

Bailey enters the ring wearing two axes on his backpack and a mask. Looks like a Mortal Kombat character. Will he land a monster punch to capture a world title, or will Jones’ size, skills and youth win the day? After some pre-fight disagreement, the guys are wearing 8 ounce gloves.

Jones coming out looking to keep Bailey at a distance, looks like he’s tight. Bailey trying to bull in. Not a ton of action in the 1st. Jones probably wins the 2nd by keeping Bailey away as the crowd gets antsy. Definitely intimidated of Bailey.

Bailey begins forcing the action more in the 3rd and working his way inside. He’s timing Jones and trying to land a trademark big shot. This fight is SLOW. Not many updates to provide. Jones throwing more and doing some pitty-patty type punches.

Bailey puts all his weight into a huge counter pinch and just misses, Jones takes advantage and begins attacking. Jones lands a few big body shots, some of his best shots of the night so far. Bailey’s trainer egging him on to get busier and follow up his shots with a hook.

Jones picking up the pace and getting more active, starting to seal up a couple of rounds, but putting everyone to sleep in the process.

God this is a slow, disappointing fight. I was looking forward to this fight more than the other two undercard fights. Not good.

Jones looking like he’s taking complete control of the fight in the 10th. However, just when you say that, Bailey finally connects with a big shot, and Jones goes flying to the canvas. A straight right perfectly thrown and connected, and Jones just exploded backward, but he pops back up and survives the round.

So will Bailey be able to follow up in the 11th? He’s throwing out his jab to try to set up the right. Jones covering up, finally starts to come forward and fight back. But Bailey connects with a pinpoint right uppercut, and Bailey just gets dropped. He rolls over and tries to get up, but can’t.

Bailey left Jones a bloody heap on the canvas to score the huge 11th round KO win. What a comeback, and it almost makes up for the terrible fight. Bailey finally takes home a big fight win, hands Jones his first career loss, and walks away with the IBF welterweight strap. Good for him.

Bailey KO 11 Jones

Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Teon Kennedy

Rigondeaux opens up the fight and immediately asserts himself. He hurts Kennedy early with a left hook, then piled on some power shots until Kennedy’s glove touched the canvas, good for a first round knockdown. He stays patient the rest of the round and doesn’t force things.

For Rigondeaux’s sake, he should keep things up and close the show quickly, and spectacularly. Kennedy is a clear step down from his recent opponents.

The Jackal picks up in the 2nd round where he left off in the 1st. He sends him down to the canvas twice in the closing minute of the second stanza. Kennedy isn’t badly hurt, but he looks resigned to the fact that he can’t do anything in there against this guy.

Kennedy playing keep away in the 3rd and 4th to try to prolong his showing here. The passive Rigondeaux obliges, looking for an opportunity to land a crisp counter but not asserting himself much. Of course, as I type that – right before the 4th round bell Rigondeaux slams a straight left into his face and knocks him down for the 4th time of the fight.

Rigondeaux sends him down again in the 5th, and the referee waves it off.

Rigondeaux TKO5 Kennedy
