(UPDATE) Pacquiao decisions Barrera
Filipino champ Manny Pacquiao scored a unanimous decision over Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera during their rematch at the Mandalay Bay Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Satruday night (Sunday noon in Manila).
Pacquiao (45 wins, 3 losses, 35 KOs) was a heavy favorite to finish off the 33-year-old Barrera, who claimed the fight is his last big-time bout.
By winning the match, Pacquiao successfully defended his WBC international super featherweight crown against Barrea.
Prior to facing the Filipino lefty, Barrera (63-6, 42 KOs) lost to fellow Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Márquez who snatched his WBC super featherweight title by unanimous decision in March.
Barrera was eyeing revenge on Pacquiao who was catapulted to international boxing stardom fame after scoring an upset victory over the Mexican in 2003 via an 11th-round technical knockout.
