โFilipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao defied age and expectations in his highly anticipated return to the ring, battling WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios to a majority draw on July 20 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Though the result allowed Barrios to retain his title, Pacquiaoโs performance at 46 years old, and after years of retirement was nothing short of remarkable.
โ"I thought I won the fight. I mean, it was a close fight. My opponent was very tough. But it was a wonderful fight," Pacquiao said.
โDespite being outlanded in jabs (45 to 20), Pacquiao reminded the world why heโs one of the sportโs all-time greats, showcasing flashes of his trademark speed, and relentless spirit that once made him an eight-division world champion. The crowd roared with every vintage flurry, as the boxing Hall of Famer repeatedly pressed the action against the younger, fresher titleholder.

โEarlier on the undercard, Olympic bronze medalist Eumir Marcial opened the night strong for the Philippines with a knockout win over Bernard Joseph, pushing his record to 6-0 (4 KOs). Later, Mark โMagnificoโ Magsayo continued the Filipino momentum with a dominant unanimous decision victory over Mexicoโs Jorge Mata, capturing the WBC Continental Americas Super Featherweight title with lopsided scores of 98-92, 100-90, and 100-90.
