Timothy Bradley has heard what everyone has had to say about his controversial bout last June against Manny Pacquiao, which is why he's itching for a rematch. The WBO welterweight champ, who claimed that title from Pacquiao, said that he felt a lot of people on Pacquiao's side were "scared" to have the Sarangani congressman take him on again. "He couldn't knock me out with two peg legs," he added, in an interview with The Desert Sun's Leighton Ginn. "Me, healthy, I'm going to beat him worse. "If Manny wants to do it, let's do it. It's been a circus around here. I've been sitting around here waiting. I want the fight but he hasn't decided yet." Bradley won a split decision, 115-113, 115-113, 113-115 versus Pacquiao, but a WBO panel later scored the Filipino fighter as the unanimous winner, 117-111, 117-111, 118-110, 116-112, and 115-113. A report by the Nevada state attorney general however stated that no crime had been committed, in relation to the judges' controversial score, while Nevada Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer said that he was satisfied with the judges' decision, after undergoing a review with the trio. The June 9 (June 10, PHL time) fight was held in Las Vegas, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, in the state of Nevada. Bradley came out the winner despite appearing in the post-fight press conference in a wheelchair, due to injuries to his right ankle and left foot. This isn't the first time Bradley has expressed his desire for a rematch, in order for a more decisive result to emerge. Last June 21, he told The Desert Sun, "Let's do the rematch and settle it once and for all." Last August 12, Pacquiao, in an interview on "24 Oras," said that he would have a decision as to whom he would face on November 10 in "five to seven days." On Pacquiao's list of possible opponents are Juan Manuel Marquez, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Bradley, the latter of whom, he has a rematch clause with- AMD, GMA News
