Pacquiao beats Algieri

Another impressive win by Manny Pacquiao, this time against Chris Algieri. It was a dominant performance by the "Pambansang Kamao" as he knocked down Algieri six times in their fight that lasted the full 12 rounds. Just how one-sided was this fight? The three judges had it 120-102, 119-103 and 119-103.Manny also landed 229 punches out of 669 throws (34%) while Chris only landed 108 of 469. Pacquiao not only had a better percentage than his opponent (34% vs 23%) but he also landed more than twice as many punches (229 vs 108). Wow.

This win allowed Manny to retain his welterweight world title and it cements his position as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in history. Congratulations, Manny!
