Pacquiao, who bounced back from a controversial split-decision defeat to Bradley in 2012 with a decisive win two years later, delivered the final blow in their welterweight clash in Las Vegas as all three judges scored it 116-110 in his favor.
After a slow start narrowly controlled by Bradley, the 37-year-old Pacquiao seized the momentum in the middle portion and knocked down the American in the seventh and ninth rounds.
Pacquiao, looking ahead to focusing full attention on his family and Filipino politics, cruised to the final bell in a bout that could help cement his strong legacy and make some amends for his disappointing defeat against Floyd Mayweather nearly a year ago.
