Pacquiao bows out with defeat

Manny Pacquiao recorded a unanimous decision over Marco Antonio Barrera in Las Vegas to reaffirm his super-featherweight supremacy, but the post-fight limelight was stolen by his retiring opponent.

Filipino folk hero Pacquiao (45-3-2, 35 Kos) simply dominated Barrera (63-6, 42 Kos) in their first meeting on November 11, 2003 in San Antonio, Texas, winning by an 11th-round technical knockout.
