Background

edit

The bout was held at MGM Grand, in Las Vegas.[3] Pacquiao won by unanimous decision and retained his WBO welterweight championship.[4] The fight was Manny Pacquiao's first PPV fight on Showtime boxing.[5]

Promotion

edit

Top Rank promoted the fight, which took place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Pacquiao's team turned down a fight with Mosley twice a year before, but they accepted the fight after Mosley had a lopsided loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. and a draw to Sergio Mora.[6] A Showtime series, Fight Camp 360°, documented Pacquiao's and Mosley's training preparations in the lead up to their bout.[7] Shane Mosley stated that if he lost badly to Pacquiao he may retire.[8] Pacquiao was heavily favored to win, as many fans and critics believed the 39-year-old Mosley was past his prime.[9] Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum stated that should Pacquiao win, it could set up a third fight with Juan Manuel Marquez in November.[10]

Referee and judges

edit

The referee for the fight was Kenny Bayless, and the judges were Nevadans Duane Ford, Dave Moretti, and Glen Trowbridge.[11] Bayless had previously been referee for fights involving Pacquiao and Mosley before, including the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Shane Mosley and Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto fights.[12]

The fight

edit

In the third round, Pacquiao knocked Mosley down, using a one-two capped with a left straight. Mosley was left dazed by the knockdown but managed to stand up. From that point on, Mosley backpedaled and seemed very reluctant to engage Pacquiao, throwing few combinations, trying to potshot with occasional counter right hands, and looking for one big punch. Mosley floored Pacquiao in the tenth round with a push, but referee Kenny Bayless ruled it a knockdown. None of the judges seemed to have agreed with this view, judging from the scores. Replays showed that Pacquiao was throwing a punch off balance, slipped and went down with a little help from Mosley's right hand and with his right foot trapped under Mosley's left foot. Bayless apologized for this mistake to Roach, Pacquiao's coach, after the fight.[13] Pacquiao gained one-sided verdicts from all three judges – 119–108, 120–108 and 120–107.[14]

Aftermath

edit

Pacquiao reported that he had a cramp in his legs. Freddie Roach said that Pacquiao had problems with cramping before, but usually only in training sessions and not in the middle of bouts.[15]
