After a lay-off of 11 months, Manny Pacquiao got back in the ring Saturday in Macau, where he won a unanimous decision over American Brandon Rios and captured the WBO international welterweight title.
The judges scored the bout 120-108, 119-109, 118-110 for Pacquiao, who moved deftly while scoring well-executed combinations in winning round after round. Rios found few opportunities to unleash the power that gave rise to his nickname, Bam Bam.
“Manny Pacquiao is very fast. He’s fast, very awkward. His speed got me a little bit,” Rios said in a ring interview after the fight.
The victory snaps a two-bout losing streak for Pacquiao, who had not stepped in a ring since being knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez. Pacquiao has won 10 world titles in eight different weight classes and improved his career mark to 55-5-2 with the win over Rios.
After the fight, Pacquiao indicated reports that he was considering retirement were premature, telling the crowd, “My time is not over.”
The humble Pacquiao,. Never talks trash or bad againts his opponent,thts why God bless him always..WE ARE REALLY PROUD OF U MANNY!!
Manny is an amazing fighter, and person. I hope he quits while he's on top and doesn't hang on too long.
I'd hate to see him look bad in a fight, which could eventually happen. After all, we all get OLDER!

@laclipperzfan I'm not sure Bradley deserves a rematch. That was a pretty clear win for Pacquiao...
@laclipperzfan Yeah except Bradley would actually beat him this time around.
@MrGameandShow @laclipperzfan
Sure Bradley would beat Pacquaio.
