Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao may not have scored a knockout win over American Jessie Vargas as their fight went the full distance of 12 rounds, but the former put in enough of work to defeat and dethrone Vargas for the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight championship belt.
Apart from winning the WBO welterweight belt anew, his third time in his career, Pacquiao also realized his dream date with history as he also became the first incumbent senator who is also a boxing champion, the first ever in the world.
