Pacquiao vs. Algieri Scorecard: Breaking Down Each Judge's Decision

Manny Pacquiao made it really easy on the judges.

The reigning WBO welterweight champ completely picked apart Chris Algieri on Saturday night, knocking him down six times on his way to a unanimous decision victory at The Venetian Macao.

ESPN.com's Dan Rafael passed along the scorecards from each judge:

There was really only one question for the trio of officials to answer: Was Pacquiao perfect, or was he slightly less than perfect?

Two judges went with the latter, as they awarded a single round in favor to Algieri, while the third scored it a complete sweep in favor of Pacquiao. Of course, we're just splitting hairs here, because the final scores don't change the overarching theme: Pacquiao was the better fighter, and it wasn't close.

Seemingly intent on surviving rather than actually landing punches, Algieri was almost completely unwilling to engage. He remained on the defensive and, as a result, Pacquiao was able to control the fight from start to finish.

Algieri had a few moments here or there, but he was probably fortunate to be given a single round by two separate judges. That's how lopsided the fight was.

The only real disappointment from Pac-Man's end—if you can call it a disappointment—was his inability to score the knockout. He discussed that after the fight:

No matter. Pac-Man needed a signature win to prove himself, and he provided just that. Bruising and battering Algieri around the ring, he landed 229 punches (to Algieri's 108) and scored an array of massive shots.

Amir Khan applauded Pacquiao on the dominant win:

Algieri may not have produced much excitement or resistance, but Pac-Man's style and aggressiveness were big reasons for that. The champ controlled the pace of the fight and was able to do whatever he wanted, landing combinations and knee-buckling power punches at will.

Many will hope that this performance leads to a fight with Floyd Mayweather, but there are any number of fighters who would love to mix it up—thus receiving a massive pay day—with Pacquiao.

And after Saturday's demolishing of Algieri, it's clear the talent hasn't escaped the veteran Filipino. The 35-year-old is capable of standing toe-to-toe with anyone.
