Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort, Macau - Manny Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38KOs) came very close to breaking his drought of knockout wins, after dropping previously undefeated Chris Algieri (20-1, 8KOs) six times for a twelve round unanimous decision win to retain the WBO welterweight title. The match took place at a catch-weight of 144-pounds. The scores were 119-103, 119-103 and 120-102.
It started as a boxing match with Pacquiao having the advantage with the quicker punches. Algieri was using movement and his jab. Pacquiao's pressure and fast hands controlled the action. Algieri's left eye was swelling up a little bit after one round. There was a knockdown call in the second round, but it was obvious Algieri slipped due to a lot of water being on the mat.
