Pacquiao is new welterweight champ
Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao made history anew as he became the first active senator to win a world boxing championship.
Pacquiao overpowered the younger Jessie Vargas to win via unanimous decision and claim the WBO welterweight championship on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
The "Pacman" was looking to end a knockout drought that dated all the way back to 2009, but had to settle for flooring Vargas once en route to a unanimous decision.
Judges scored the bout 114-113, 118-109, 118-109, all for the "Pacman."
