The Philippine Star

He’s back.

Manny Pacquiao regained his bearing from two successive losses including a brutal sixth round knockout loss to arch-rival Juan Manuel Marquez with a unanimous decision over former world champion Brandon Rios in Macau.

Pacquiao was clinical yet cautious in mauling the younger American-Mexican challenger.

With the win, talks of Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight have been revived especially with the WBC making the fighting congressman from Sarangani its No.1 contender.
