It's a dominant win. No knockouts needed. That's called fighting smart. Congrats Manny! Happy to have you back.

Round 12: Pacquiao was tearing into Rios & appeared to back off & let Rios recover.

Round 12: Same story, different stanza. Rios gets clocked, smiles and waves Pacquiao on.

Rios was shown in the monitor here, which was met with jeers from the heavily pro-Pacquiao crowd. #PacRios

Another round in the bag for Zhou, who's sharp blows have bloodied Tuscano's nose #PacRios

Round 2: Zou may have given Toscano a little cut under his right eye. Zou remains on the attack.

Shiming is a 2-time gold medalist. he won a bronze medal in 2004 Athens then won the gold in the 2008 & 2012 before turning pro. #PacRios

End of round 1, which clearly goes to the busier, more aggressive Shiming. #PacRios

by Dino Maragay via twitter 11/24/2013 2:44:34 AM
Round 1: Zou doing solid work here off the jab. His speed is proving too much for Toscano to handle in the early going.

Also working the corner for Zhou is Pinoy trainer Marvin Somodio, who guided @RuslanProvod to the WBO light welter title in Roach's absence.

Big round of applause for @DiamanteVerdejo & his hard-as-nails opponent. We're going to the scorecards...

it's a no-contest. Verdejo should win this easily via unanimous decision. but props to Dunaaymukdahan for surviving 6 rounds of hell.

Round 6 of 6: The ref deducts a point from DUANAAYMUKDAHAN for a low blow. We're back on.

I refuse to tweet about this current fight for the sole reason of the injustice that this Thai fighter's name brings to scribes. #PacRios

by Dino Maragay via twitter 11/24/2013 2:28:57 AM
Round 5: A crushing uppercut nearly drops DUANAAYMUKDAHAN, but the guy just won't go down. @DiamanteVerdejo dominating.

Duanaaymukdahan is about to go down here in round 5. Verdejo is literally and figuratively beating him. #PacRios
