MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao became a champion once again after he dethroned Jessie Vargas by unanimous decision and regained the WBO welterweight title on Saturday, November 5 (Sunday in Manila).
The Filipino boxing icon turned senator emerged from his brief retirement looking like he hadn’t missed a step as he controlled the fight with his speed, even knocking down Vargas for the first time in his young pro career.
Pacquiao, who turns 38 in December, improved to a 59-6-2 record with 38 knockouts, as old foe Floyd Mayweather Jr watched ringside.
Pacquiao lost to Mayweather in a record-setting fight in May 2015 before he ran for a Senate seat in the national elections last May.
The 27-year-old Vargas dropped to a 27-2 record with 10 KOs.
