WBA welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao showed flashes of his past brilliance as he delivered a dominant performance to earn a unanimous decision victory over Adrien Broner in Las Vegas on Saturday. Retired great Floyd Mayweather attended the fight, fuelling speculation of a rematch against Pacquiao, who the undefeated American beat in 2015. In the seventh round, Pacquiao pushed Broner back to the ropes and delivered an onslaught of punches that left Broner holding on for survival. “Tell him to come back to the ring and then we will fight,” Pacquiao said. “I’m willing to fight if he’s willing to come back in boxing.”First Published: Jan 20, 2019 13:49 IST
