Pacquiao &mdash; fighting for the first time since his defeat to Floyd Mayweather last May in the 'Fight of the Century' &mdash; knocked down Bradley twice on his way to a unanimous decision.
The judges' scorecards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena told the story of Pacquiao's dominance in the non-title welterweight duel, with the 37-year-old eight-division world champion winning by identical margins of 116-110 on all three cards.
Pacquiao to help people Pacquiao had insisted Saturday's bout &mdash; the 66th of his career &mdash; will be his final fight before he focuses on his political career in the Philippines, where he is seeking election to the Senate next month. Many ring-watchers, however, are sceptical, believing he may well be tempted to extend a career which has seen him earn more than $500 million.
Yet asked afterwards if he planned to stay retired, Pacquiao replied: &ldquo;I think so. I've made a commitment to my family that I'm going to retire after this. Maybe I enjoybeing a retired man, serving the people, helping the people,&rdquo; he added. Pacquiao had promised an explosive performance and was as good as his word for long periods, uncorking some trademark combinations to overwhelm Bradley.&nbsp;
'Bradley is a good boxer' &ldquo;Bradley is a good boxer, he's a champion, he's a man. It was not easy tonight,&rdquo; Pacquiao said.&nbsp; Bradley meanwhile paid tribute to his opponent. &ldquo;I fought really good tonight but I don't know what was going on. He always seemed to be in the right spot. He was a step ahead of me,&rdquo; Bradley said.&nbsp;
