Still champion!

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao dominated his undefeated challenger Chris Algierie to a unanimous decision victory, Sunday afternoon at the Cotai Arena in Macau.

Algieri’s camp saying that it will be the Chris Algieri Show. His trainer Tim Lane even said that his guy would stop Pacquiao inside ten rounds. However, the American shrunk at the gravity of the moment, aided by Pacquiao’s flying fists.

Algieri ran around the ring trying to survive. In the few times Pacquiao caught him flat-footed, it was disastrous.

Pacquiao knocked down Alieri six times officially in the fight, all though one or two of these could have been ruled as slips. Michael Buffer read the scorecards as 119-103, 119-103, and 120-102 but the numbers, gaudy as these are, could not completely encapsulate just how dominant Pacquiao was in the fight.

“Tonight I did my best. I’m so satisfied with my performance tonight. I came to fight. I did my best. That’s enough for me,” Pacquiao said in the post fight interview.

“I’m very confident I’d win the fight. I was trying to go for a knockout but he was fast. He was moving.”
