Manny Pacquiao vs Brandon Rios Full Fight REPLAY VIDEO

Filipino boxing superstar Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao snapped a two-fight losing streak – and lifted the spirits of his countrymen – in a brilliant performance against Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios in their welterweight showdown at the Cotai Arena in Macau on Sunday.
Pacquiao was in control from start to finish, constantly keeping Rios off-balanced with his movement and footwork, while finding a target for his right straight and left hook early and often. He repeatedly landed multi-punch combinations, although Rios proved his toughness by lasting the distance despite taking stunning punishment.

The Filipino went on to win by unanimous decision, with scores of 120-108, 119-109, and 118-110, adding the World Boxing Organization (WBO) international welterweight belt to his collection.

“I did not consider Rios as an easy opponent,” said Pacquiao after the bout. “He’s tough, he’s a very tough boxer. But he’s a little slower. I’m faster than him.”

The tone of the fight was set early and remained the same for all 12 rounds. Rios (31-2-1, 22 KOs) put his gloves high in front of his face in an attempt to block Pacquiao's blows, but the eight-time world champion threw so many punches that quite a few broke through to leave their marks on the American's face.

Showing deft footwork, Pacquiao would jab, turn swiftly to one side, land another punch and turn again.

On several occasions, one straight left would be followed by another, and then, having pierced Rios' defence, Pacquiao would open up with a barrage of four or five punches, to the delight of the more than 13,000 in attendance at the Cotai Arena in the Venetian.
