Before pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao won a unanimous decision over "Sugar" Shane Mosley, fans at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, left a little early.

I never thought I'd see that, but it represents the action, or lack of action, that took place in the ring.

Scorecards read 119-108, 120-108 and 120-107 for Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao after 12 rounds. Knockdowns were scored by both fighters, but only one was legitimate, and it was Pacquiao's 3rd round knockdown from a left hand.

It was a dominant performance, as expected, so we shouldn't be too disappointed in it. Pacquiao was way too respectful of his opponent though, tapping gloves with him every chance he got.

"It wasn't a great fight," said Ricky Hatton. "Which is very rare for Manny Pacquiao."

"I just wonder at what stage in the fight Shane set for the distance."

"That was all for Manny Pacquiao, but that makes me wonder a little bit more about how Floyd Mayweather handled Shane Mosley, granted he didn't put Mosley down like Pacquiao did."

"I hope it will be the end," said Hatton of Mosley. "He never believes he is too old."
