Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley are set to face one another after a successful weigh-in
It’s been quite a while since we’ve gotten a high-profile boxing match, but we’re going to get just that on Saturday night as we get the third installment of Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley. Before we get to the battle on Saturday night, however, first it was time for these fighters to weigh in.
They did just that on Friday afternoon, and everything is good to go.

Again, this will be the third battle between the two men. They first met one another back in 2012 and that one ended in a controversial decision that saw Bradley get the win, but in 2014 Pacquiao was able to get that revenge that he was looking for. Now, this will be the rubber match between two of the more notable welterweights in the world.
Of course, the last time that we saw Pacquiao in the ring was nearly one year ago when he finally took part in the fight with Floyd Mayweather. He would end up losing that bout via decision, and some had wondered whether or not that would be the last time we saw him in the ring. Apparently, though, Saturday night may indeed be that moment where we see Pac-Man hang up the gloves for good.
Bradley’s last fight was in November where he dominantly defeated Brandon Rios.
Pacquiao comes into this match with a 57-6-2 record while Bradley looks for his second win against Pacquiao with a record of 33-1-1.
