Manny Pacquiao vs Adrien Broner Highlights. Watch the amazing hand speed from the future boxing hall of famer Manny Pacman Pacquiao. Pacquiao put on a boxing clinic as he attacked Adrien Broner all night. Broner when into defense mode and threw few punches that actually landed on Pacquiao. Check out the Pacquiao vs Broner full fight highlights and leave a like. At the end of the fight, Broner cried and honestly thought he had won the fight. Manny Pacquiao vowed to show in his first fight since turning 40 last month that he was still a force to be reckoned with in boxing. He is.
While he might not be the overwhelming force he was in his electrifying prime, boxing's only eight-division world champion showed that he was still pretty darn good as he easily rolled past Adrien Broner by unanimous decision Saturday night to retain his secondary welterweight world title for the first time. The 13,025 inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena, where Pacquiao made his American debut 18 years ago, cheered his every move as he delivered a vintage performance in which he showed he is still fast, still skilled and still has some pop in his fists as he rocked Broner several times.
In the end, it was a wipeout, though the judges did give Broner some love in scoring the fight 117-111, 116-112 and 116-112. ESPN.com had it a shutout for Pacquiao, 120-108.
"I feel so happy because I did my best in the fight and in training. Thank God for this victory," Pacquiao said. "I'm so happy because God gave me this good health. At the age of 40, I can still give my best. Although I wanted to be aggressive more, my camp told me don't be careless and to counter him and wait for opportunities."
Pacquiao, a future Hall of Famer and an all-time great, won the 147-pound belt by dominant seventh-round knockout of Lucas Matthysse in July in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, his first KO win in nine years. That victory set the stage for his return to the United States for the first time in 26 months to face Broner in what could have served as a warm-up for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather. "I proved in my last fight against Matthysse, and now I proved it again," Pacquiao said. "The Manny Pacquiao journey will still continue. I wanted to push more, but my trainer said don't be careless. Wait for him, counter, and that's what I did."
Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 KOs), who reunited with longtime trainer Freddie Roach for the fight after a one-fight break for the Matthysse fight, said he wanted Mayweather again.
Pacquiao, also a senator in the Philippines, claimed a shoulder injury going into the Mayweather bout hampered him and that he wanted another shot at his rival.
"Tell him to come back to the ring, and we will fight," Pacquiao said. "I'm willing to fight Floyd Mayweather again if he's willing to come back to boxing."
Mayweather has considered exiting retirement for a sequel of his 2015 decision win over Pacquiao in a welterweight title unification fight that crowned the king of the era and became the biggest grossing fight in combat sports history with more than $600 million.
Mayweather, whose Mayweather Promotions was one of the promoters of the card, was ringside and no doubt took a hard look at Pacquiao as he considers the possibility of a rematch that he and Pacquiao spoke about in Japan during a chance meeting in September.
