Pacquiao beats Broner by unanimous decision

Manny Pacquiao just proved that at 40, he still has it.

Showcasing his hand speed and aggression, the Filipino icon again turned back time in his return to the world's boxing capital, shutting down Adrien Broner to defend his WBA welterweight title at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday (Sunday Manila time).

Here's a look at the most lopsided round so far for Manny Pacquiao, who had Broner on survival mode.



Pacquiao won on all judges’ scorecards 117-111 and 116-112 (twice) over Broner, whose offense was nullified by the defending champion’s volume-punching.



Pacquiao impressed the packed crowd that included Floyd Mayweather Jr., who showed up as expected. He had Broner fighting for dear life in the seventh and ninth rounds after pinning the challenger on the ropes with solid combinations.

With the win, Pacquiao’s record now stands at 61-7-2, with 39 KOs. Broner, meanwhile, fell to 33-3-1 (with 24 KOs).

Broner's three losses came at the hands of Marcos Maidana, Shawn Porter (who served as Pacquiao's sparring partner) and Mikey Garcia. He just wilts when facing topnotch competition.

Pacquiao happened to be his biggest one so far.
