BOXING – MANNY Pacquiao pushed back against his doubters, the odds and even Father Time on Saturday night — and nearly made some history, reports AP.
But Pacquiao, in the end, fell just short on the judges’ scorecards as Mario Barrios escaped with a majority draw to retain the WBC welterweight championship.
Two judges scored the bout a draw, and judge Max DeLuca awarded Barrios a 115-113 victory.
The AP scored the fight 115-113 in favour of Pacquiao.
