Mayweather, now 48-0 in his career, proved his technical prowess in a unanimous decision victory over the eight-division world champion. He won 118-110 on one scorecard and 116-112 in the other two in a decisive victory.
The boxer they called ‘Money’ was able to use his reach and defensive ability to avoid Manny’s punching power and scored enough with his own punches to win the fight.
The numbers had Floyd outlanding Manny, 146-81, on total punches.
The aggressive Pacquiao showed flashes of his vaunted offense, moving forward for much of the contest. But he played into a lot of what his opponent wanted to do as Mayweather landed on counters and lead punches all night long.
