Manny Pacquiao vs. Mario Barrios results, highlights: Fight ends in the majority of the majority, Barrios retains the title

Manny Pacquiao's attempt to turn around the clock was only neglected on Saturday evening when his fight with the WBC champion in the world weight, Mario Barrios, ended in a majority.

At the age of 46, Pacquiao tried to become the first fighter in history who won world championships in four different decades. But Pacquiao did not look like the fighter of old. He was less explosive and his defense reflexes were clearly reduced, but Barrios did not make him pay for over 12 laps and had Pacquiao have some impressive moments throughout the fight.

Barrios was effective to work on his ascent throughout the struggle, but he did not follow this fall with power shots, and he didn't invest much in the body of his much older opponent, who returned to the plot for the first time in almost four years.

The fixed amount of Pacquiao reacted loudly to any combination that Pacquiao threw, regardless of whether it ended up or not. Despite this possible overreaction, Pacquiao showed phenomenal endurance and commitment to attempt to keep a world championship again.

In the end, Barrios brought the last three rounds on all three official scorecards to contest the majority to keep his championship with scores of 115-113 and two 114-114 cards.

“I thought I had won the fight,” said Pacquiao after the fight. “I mean, it was a tight fight. My opponent was very hard. It was a wonderful fight. It was good.”

Barrios also felt that he had done enough to win, even though he praised his legendary opponent's efforts.

“I thought I was still pulling it out, but I still typed my hat to Manny,” said Barrios. “It was an absolute honor to share the ring with him, someone who achieved so much in sports. … We came here and left everything in the ring. As I said, I guess my hat to Manny.”

Both fighters agreed to the idea of a retirement and left the door for Pacquiao, a world champion of eight divisions, open to make another shot on the recovery of the World Cup.

“I think so I think,” said Pacquiao about the idea of fighting again. “God wants. I only had two months of training. I have to continue my training. In such a championship fight I should have trained for four or three months, [but didn’t] Because of the choice in the Philippines. “

Barrios was completely in the idea of trifling the fight and noticed how big the event was for sport.

“Absolutely [I would take the rematch]That was huge for boxing, “said Barrios.” That was huge and I would like to do it again. “
