MANILA, Philippines—It's safe to say that Adrien Broner had a problem with the decision of the judges in his fight against Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao.
The Filipino star won their welterweight bout handily, with judges scoring the fight 117-111, 116-112, 116-112 to hand Pacquiao a unanimous decision. The "Pacman" retained his WBA welterweight strap with the result.
Broner, who was booed by the crowd at the MGM Grand in the 11th round, was in disbelief at the scores.
"I beat him," he immediately declared to Showtime's Jim Gray during their post-fight interview.
"Everybody out there know I beat him. I controlled the fight. He was missing, I hit him clean more times. I beat him," Broner said emphatically.
When informed by Gray that he had landed an average of eight punches per round, Broner only grew more irate.
"It already sounds like you're against me," he accused Gray.
Broner leapt up the turnbuckle once the final bell rung, and celebrated only to be booed by the crowd. Afterward, he said he "did this for the hood."
"Y'all know I beat that boy," Broner said. "They're trying to get that money again, with Pacquiao and Floyd."
Broner was referring to a possible rematch between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., who watched closely at ringside as the fight unfolded.
Gray then asked what was next for Broner, who is now 3-3-1 in his last seven fights.
"I'm 3-3-1 in my last seven, but I'll be 7-0 against you," Broner told Gray.
"Well, that wouldn't mean much," Gray responded, before wrapping up the profanity-laced interview.
According to statistics compiled by ShoStats, Broner landed a total of 50 punches in the 12-round affair, after throwing just 295 shots.
