Manny Pacquiao easily beats Shane Mosley to retain WBO title
Monday, May 09, 2011
(Reuters) - Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines retained his WBO welterweight title by recording a unanimous points victory over a lackluster Shane Mosley at the MGM Garden Arena on Saturday.
The 32-year-old southpaw, despite being hampered by cramp in his left leg, dominated all 12 rounds against his defense-minded American opponent to improve his career record to 53-3-2 with 38 knockouts.
It was Pacquiao's 14th consecutive win since his loss to Erik Morales in Las Vegas in March 2005, and enhanced his status as the world's best pound-for-pound boxer.
Fighting for the second time since winning a seat in his country's national congress last year, Pacquiao gained one-sided verdicts from all three judges -- 119-108, 120-108 and 120-107.
