In front of an adoring crowd at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Manny Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 KOs) outboxed, outfoxed, and outworked Adrien Broner (33-4-1-1 NC, 24 KOs) on his way to a dominant unanimous decision win. Broner was hurt in round seven and staggered in round ten, but did not get knocked down. The scorecards read 117-111, 116-112, and 116-112 all for Pacquiao, and Showtime’s Steve Farhood argued that those 116-112s were generous to Broner.
Broner, who raised his arms in victory at the end of the fight, was given a whopping 58 seconds on the microphone by Showtime Boxing interviewer Jim Gray.
