The fight of the century is not over yet. After five years of waiting and 12 very intense rounds with alternating control, Floyd Mayweather defeated Manny Pacquiao in a unanimous decision by the judges with a certain margin in the score – 116×112, 118×110, 116×112. But even in the ring, the Filipino questioned the result.

“It was a good fight, but I think I won. He didn't do anything, just dodged and fled the fight. I threw blows from the start. He just moved side to side”, said Pacman.
In turn, Mayweather, unlike usual, preferred not to argue and praised Pacquiao's posture during the 12 rounds of the fight of the century.
“I take my hat off to Pacquiao. He is one of the greatest in boxing history. I'm not going to make any guesses here. He was more interested in the fight, but I fought intelligently. I wasn't going to go up until I was sure I could land my punch. At short range I took the hits. And I was happy to do this fight. I calculated a lot. He’s very tough,” Mayweather said.
With the result, Mayweather has an incredible record of 48 wins in 48 fights and remains unbeatable inside the ring. In turn, Pacquiao suffers his sixth career defeat. He has 56 wins and two draws.
