Bobby Pacquiao (29-15-3, 14 KOs) came out on the short end of the stick as he was dominated over ten rounds by Robert Frankel (26-9-1, 4 KOs) at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California. The scores were 98-91 on all three cards.
Reports indicate that Frankel was beating Pacquiao to the punch during the entire contest, with big right hands leading the way. Even when Pacquiao appeared to be heading to a decision loss, he showed no urgency to pick up the pace or take the fight to Frankel. After receiving two earlier warnings for low blows, Pacquiao lost a point in the tenth for his third incident. Trainer Freddie Roach did not work his corner.
The Promoters behind the "Fight Night at the Tank" event had brought Pacquiao in to build a base of Filipino fans in the Bay area.
