Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao lost Saturday night for the first time in 7 years! And Floyd Mayweather didn’t have anything to do with it. Relatively unknown Timothy Bradley won the bout by a split decision in Las Vegas.

Leading up to the fight, Bradley promised to shock Pacquiao’s world,  but it turned out that the biggest shock of the nightt came from the judges’ scorecards.

“I didn’t think he was as good as everyone says he was. I didn’t feel his power,” Timothy Bradley said after beating Manny Pacquiao.

In a fight Pacquiao seemed to have in hand, two judges decided otherwise, giving Bradley a split decision Saturday night and ending the Filipino fighter’s remarkable seven-year unbeaten run.

Promoter Bob Arum fumed, the crowd at the MGM Grand arena booed, and Pacquiao seemed stunned when the decision was announced. They boxers and Arum have already said there would be a November rematch.

“I’ve never been as ashamed of the sport of boxing as I am tonight,” said Arum, who handles both fighters.

Bradley came on strong in the later rounds, winning five of the last six on two scorecards and four on the third. He won 115-113 on the scorecards of judges Duane Ford and C.J. Ross, while losing on Jerry Roth’s scorecard by the same margin. The Associated Press had Pacquiao winning 117-111.

“I did my best,” Pacquiao said. “I guess my best wasn’t good enough.”

Maybe the judges were getting back at Pacman for the fight against Juan Marquez which many believe Marquez should have won.
