🥊 How the Fight Played Out:
From the opening bell, it was clear Manny Pacquiao hadn’t returned just for show. He came out aggressive, flashing the same speed, footwork, and volume that made him an eight-division world champion. Despite a four-year layoff, Pacquiao dominated the early rounds with crisp combinations, head movement, and sharp counters.

Barrios, who came in riding a wave of momentum, struggled early but began to adjust by Round 5, using his jab and body shots to slow Pacquiao down. The later rounds became a war of attrition. Barrios came on strong in Rounds 10 through 12, landing more power shots and applying steady pressure.
