Filipinos hope for a rematch after Pacquiao, Barrios fight ends in draw
Philippine boxing fans on Sunday, July 20, hoped for a rematch after Manny Pacquiao fell short of becoming the oldest welterweight champion when he failed to beat WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios after a majority draw decision.
Hundreds of fans crowded a gymnasium in Manila to watch the fight on a large monitor, hoping to see the former Philippine senator triumph against the American boxer.
Pacquiao and 30-year-old Barrios fought to a majority draw at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, with one judge giving Barrios a 115-113 win and the other two judges scoring it a 114-114 draw. The result allowed Barrios (29-2-2, 18 KOs) to retain his WBC welterweight belt.
