By Yannis Mihanos: In life lessons we are being given and taken. There is a cause and effect in everything. Karma they say is the best teacher. It forces people to face the consequences of their actions and make them improve or suffer if they do not change attitude. As in life and so in boxing, fighters have to learn similar lessons too.

Reigning WBO welterweight champion Tim “Desert Storm” Bradley (31-0, 12 KO’s) and number 2 pound for pound Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO’s) will be fighting for the WBO 147-pound title on HBO pay-per-view at the MGM Grand Garden arena on April 12.

A rematch always gives a second chance to settle things and here there is certainly an unfinished business to be taken care of. Nobody has forgotten the first match between these two fighters: Bradley won a controversial split decision over Pacquiao in June 2012 in Las Vegas.

It was a sad day for boxing, a day that will be forever remembered for all the wrong reasons. There was injustice done to Pacquiao and to all true fans of boxing. Afterwards Manny Pacquiao accepted humbly that defeat, even that deep inside he knew that he was robbed. You see records, belts and titles have no meaning if they are not earned the right way. As the years gone by and both fighters moved on to separate ways, nothing serious has changed except Pacquiao being more skeptical about judges decisions.

On April 12 2014, they finally meet again. Tim Bradley knows that karma is coming to collect for him. Manny Pacquiao is ready to give him a tough lesson, a lesson that I hope will make him a better person than he is now.
