It's about time.

Although there really shouldn't be a need for a rematch, Timothy Bradley and Manny Pacquiao will face-off again on April 12. Bradley is looking forward to the fight because he feels it will give him the respect he deserves after winning and becoming the champion by a controversial(an oft-used euphemism for ridiculous) split decision over Pacquiao. "It feels great to get this rematch," he said to The Desert Sun. "I'm happy to have this opportunity to get rid of this dark cloud that has been looming over me since 2012."

To be fair, Bradley has had a strong 2013. He beat Ruslan Provodnikov in one of the year's best fights and took out Juan Manuel Marquez—the man who turned Pacquiao into a meme. Still, it's time to take care of unfinished business.
