The 46 -year -old return bid for the 46th World Title against the WBC Welterweight Champion Marine Barrios.
Manny Pacquiao’s bid to become the oldest Welterweight Champion in the history of boxing declined as he failed to defeat Mario Barrios at the MGM Grand Garden Erana in Las Vegas.
But he did not lose either.
Instead, the 46 -year -old Pacquiao and 30 -year -old Barrios scored the majority on Saturday. One judge won the barois 115-113, and the other two judges equalized 114-114.
The resulting barris (29-2-2, 18 knockouts) retained its WBC Welterweight Belt.
“I thought I won this fight,” Pacquiao said later.
“I mean, this was a close battle. My opponent was very difficult. It was a wonderful battle. She was good.”
Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 kO) has already recorded the oldest Welterweight Champion by winning the belt by dividing the belt by splitting on Kith Thorman in 2019.
The Philippino legend was included in the International Boxing Hall of Fame last month. Pacquiao dominated the battle of Saturday and showed energy against his small enemy.
Finally, the computebox statistics contain more punch (120-101) and more jabs (45-20), but Pacovio down 81 power punch at 75 of Barrios.
After 10 pm, Pacquoo took the lead on the three cards, but Barrios scored three scorecards to prevent discomfort. After the battle, Pacquoo’s ability to hold age and conflict was definitely.
Pacquiao, who lost the senior bid in the Philippines in May, said, “I need to continue my training in the battle of the championship for a long time.” “With the election, I started late, but that’s fine. Of course, I want to match again. I want to leave a legacy and the Philippino people are proud.
“Don’t tell this barrios.
“His ability to keep his ability to be strong,” said the champion. “He is still strong as hell, and his time is real. He is still a very strange soldier to try to find.”
Regarding playing again, barroes are ready.
“I will cope again. Completely. It was too big for boxing. I would love to do it again.”
