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.

Infamous Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin I judge Adelaide Byrd, who awarded an incomprehensible 117-111 to the Mexican in 2017, is overlooking this bout.

Luckily, the traffic is so one-way that there shouldn't be any room for debate this time round.

RD: 7

Another round to Ruiz. That's seven out of seven, plus the extra point for the knockdown, putting him well beyond reach.

Guevara does finally offer Ruiz a slight reminder that he is indeed present in there, but it's by no means enough to win the round.

Ruiz pins Guevara in the corner and unleashes a fine combination to the body before being smothered. We go to the final round of this formality.

FINAL BELL

The last bell tolls on this tepid ten round encounter. In Ruiz's defence, Guevara did make himself hard to look good against.
