WBA welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao delivered a dominant performance to earn a unanimous decision victory over Adrien Broner on Saturday in Las Vegas.

The 40-year-old Filipino multiple world champion was quicker and more accurate as he controlled each round and cruised to the triumph over Broner, 29, who fought gamely and stayed upright despite being hit with several heavy combinations.

Retired great Floyd Mayweather attended the fight, fueling speculation of a rematch against Pacquiao. Undefeated Mayweather beat Pacquiao in 2015.

FINAL BELL

And there it is. Another easy round notched up for Pacquiao. Broner celebrates and jumps on the top rope. He believes he's outboxed him. Nobody else does. Pacquiao threw almost twice as many punches, had his man hurt twice badly, and is certain to retain his WBA welterweight world title.
