All-time great Manny \u201cPacman\u201d Pacquiao cruised to a comfortable unanimous decision over Adrien \u201cThe Problem\u201d Broner to defend his WBA Welterweight World Championship on SHOWTIME PPV\u00ae Saturday night in front of a sold-out MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The scores were 117-111, 116-112 twice.<\/p>\n

The global icon and boxing\u2019s only eight-division champion Pacquaio \u2013 who was fighting for the first time as a 40-year-old, and the first time in the United State in more than two years \u2013 used effective jabs and sustained body work in his 70th professional fight that was watched by an announced attendance of 13,025 fans, including the retired Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n

\u201cI proved in my last fight against [Lucas] Matthysse and now I proved it again: The Manny Pacquiao journey will still continue,\u201d Pacquiao said.<\/p>\n

Asked by SHOWTIME\u2019s Jim Gray if he would like to rematch Mayweather in the future, Pacquiao said he\u2019d do it if Mayweather unretired.<\/p>\n

\u201cTell him to come back to the ring and we will fight,\u201d Pacquaio said. \u201cI\u2019m willing to fight Floyd Mayweather again if he\u2019s willing to come back to boxing.\u201d<\/p>\n

SHOWTIME Sports official scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 118-110 in favor of the Filipino Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 KOs), giving Cincinnati\u2019s Broner (33-3-1, 24 KOs) only the fourth and the 10th rounds.<\/p>\n

Broner said he thought he did enough to win the fight. \u201cI beat him,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody out there knows I beat him. I controlled the fight, he was missing. I hit him clean more times. I beat him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pacquiao maintained a strong pace throughout the fight, throwing 47 punches per round compared to Broner, who averaged almost half that output. Broner was limited to single-digit total connects in every round while Pacquiao exceeded double-digits five times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to push more but my trainer said don\u2019t be careless,\u201d Pacquiao said. \u201cWait for him, counter, and that\u2019s what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the co-feature, Staten Island native Marcus Browne (23-0, 16 KOs) won defeated a bloodied Badou Jack (22-2-3, 13 KOs) by upset unanimous decision for the Interim WBA Light Heavyweight belt. The scores were 119-108, 117-110, 116-111.<\/p>\n

Jack suffered a gruesome five-inch cut to his forehead after an accidental clash of heads in the seventh round of the fight. The former Olympian Browne told Gray the head butt did not affect the outcome of the fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe couldn\u2019t find me before that [head butt],\u201d said the 28-year-old Browne, who made his professional debut on ShoBox: The New Generation following the 2012 Olympics. \u201cHe couldn\u2019t find me. I was just too sharp, too slick, too anything. He was coming with his head all night. He kept coming with his head.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas resident and former two-division champion Jack was taken immediately to the hospital for observation. Jack, who was fighting in his seventh consecutive world title fight, gave all the credit to Browne. \u201cI was flat,\u201d he said. \u201cI don’t know what it was, but no excuses. I would love the rematch. Now I have to rest, get the head fixed and hopefully get that chance in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Browne was the more active fighter, throwing 515 total punches to 303 for Jack. Browne connected on 103 of his power punches compared to just 58 for Jack.<\/p>\n

The taller, southpaw Browne said he stuck to his game-plan and peppered Jack continuously with his strong straight left jab. \u201cHe thought he was going to take me to deep water and drown me, but I was in shape,\u201d he said. \u201cTeddy Atlas, you think you have the best light heavyweight? (Oleksandr) Gvozdyk, let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just used my athletic ability and did what I do best, and that\u2019s box the hell out of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a rematch of their close 2012 Olympic showdown, France\u2019s Nordine Oubaali (15-0, 11 KOs) captured the vacant WBC Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision against Cincinnati\u2019s Rau\u2019shee Warren (16-3, 4 KOs). The scores were 117-111, 116-112, 115-113.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was my dream,\u201d said Oubaali, who was making his U.S. debut. \u201cI made my dream come true, my American dream. I want to thank all the people of America and France who supported me.\u201d<\/p>\n

By winning the all-southpaw matchup, the 32-year-old Oubaali became the first French-born champion in 11 years.<\/p>\n

The first six rounds were close as both fighters were separated by four or fewer punches. Oubaali controlled the fight in the middle rounds, with SHOWTIME\u2019s official scorer Steve Farhood giving the more active Oubaali rounds five through 10 before giving Warren the close 11th.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like I was doing pretty good in the beginning of the fight but after the fifth or sixth I let off the gas,\u201d said Warren, a former world champion. \u201cI was using my jab and wanted to finish it with my left hand. The judges saw it the way it was. He wanted it more. You could tell. He had his foot on the gas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The seventh round was the most action-packed of the fight with Oubaali going on the attack and hurting Warren by landing effective combinations. Oubaali pulled away in the final six rounds as he out-landed Warren 100-51 in total punches and was the effective aggressor and the more active fighter.<\/p>\n

Following the ninth round, Warren\u2019s trainer Barry Hunter could be heard telling Warren he needed each of the final three rounds if he was going to win the fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI put on the pressure,\u201d Oubaali said. \u201cI had the speed. He is a very good boxer \u2013 he\u2019s slick, and he\u2019s smart. This is a very big night to win my first world championship.”<\/p>\n

In the telecast opener, Hugo Ruiz (39-4, 32 KOs) was successful in his featherweight debut as he dominated late replacement Alberto Guevara (27-4, 12 KOs), knocking him down once in the opening minute of the fight and winning easily on all three judges\u2019 scorecards 100-89, 99-90 twice.<\/p>\n

The fast starting Ruiz, who has 18 previous knockouts in round one, showed his early power and he sent the former two-time world title challenger Guevara to the canvas with a strong right followed by a left uppercut at 1:41 of the first round.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was hard for me training for a southpaw and then getting a new opponent I knew nothing about,\u201d said the 30-year-old Ruiz, from Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, who is a former world champion at 122 pounds. \u201cThe other guy was a puncher and this guy is a boxer. It\u2019s tough to fight a guy who is just trying to survive out there and running. He came in and got caught early, and that set the pace for the rest of the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mexico\u2019s Guevara was fighting on just one days\u2019 notice after Jhack Tepora failed to make the 126-pound weight limit on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was supposed to be a title fight,\u201d Ruiz said. \u201cI was so disappointed and my mind wasn’t totally in it.”<\/p>\n
