Manny Pacquiao beat defending champion Keith Thurman on a split points decision on Saturday to take the WBA Welterweight Super Championship at the end of an electrifying fight in Las Vegas. Two judges scored it 115-112 to Pacquiao and another gave it 114-113 to Thurman, who suffered his first defeat in 30 fights. "The knockdown was a big factor," said Pacquiao, who became the oldest welterweight champion in boxing history. Manny Pacquiao is a great, truly great champion. My conditioning, my output was just behind Manny Pacquiao.
