Pacquiao vs. Algieri Results: Scorecard and Highlights from Lopsided Bout

Manny Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title was never in danger against Chris Algieri on Saturday in Macau, as the Filipino champion easily handled his American challenger on his way to a lopsided unanimous-decision victory.

HBOboxing shared the scorecards, showing a wide margin of victory for Pac-Man:

Algieri suffered six knockdowns in total and never threatened Pacquiao in the slightest, as he was simply out-boxed throughout the bout. Ring Magazine shared the CompuBox statistics, which spoke volumes to the champion's dominance:

Algieri tried to establish his jab early to take advantage of his edge in size and reach, but Pacquiao countered with good work to the body and showed no respect for his opponent's power.

The left eye of Algieri was already showing signs of swelling by the start of the second round, and he suffered his first knockdown when he appeared to slip under pressure from Pacquiao. Replays showed that the decision from the referee was harsh, but the American still clearly lost the round.

He continued not to engage Pacquiao, seemingly gifting the 35-year-old the first four rounds. His corner kept encouraging the tactics, and via HBOboxing, the amount of punches he was throwing indicated he was following a clear plan:

Algieri became slightly more active in the fifth round, and his footwork showed as he managed to slip away from Pacquiao on several occasions. But just as he appeared to be turning things around, Pac-Man downed him a second time in the sixth with a nice flurry of punches.

He continued the pressure and dropped Algieri a third time, but to his credit, the 30-year-old challenger recovered very well and survived the round against an unleashed Pacquiao.

Down big on the scorecards, Algieri refused to change the tempo and remained extremely cautious. His corner kept encouraging him, and ESPN's Todd Grisham didn't understand why:

Trainer Tim Lane revealed why in the ninth round, telling a ringside reporter he believed Pacquiao was getting tired and that it had been the plan to take advantage of that and knock him out late all along.

He claimed he was keeping his fighter "in the cage" and would release him in the 10th or 11th round. And just as he spoke those words, Pacquiao produced the best knockdown of the fight, via Bleacher Report UK:

ESPN's Brian Campbell couldn't believe the timing of the punch:

Ring TV's Douglass Fischer took it one step further:

Algieri dropped to his knee again later in the round, but to his credit, Pacquiao couldn't finish him in the ninth, despite some relentless pressure. The Filipino slugger let off a little bit in the 10th, knowing full well he couldn't lose on the cards.

He did score his last knockdown with 15 seconds left, only adding to his lead. By the start of the 11th, Algieri's body language showed he knew he had to do something, but he failed to hurt Pacquiao in the final two rounds, as the champion easily defended his title.

As shared by HBOboxing, Pacquiao was happy with his performance on Saturday:

He may turn 36 in December, but Pacquiao's hand speed and footwork are still every bit as impressive as they were five years ago. With plenty of interesting challengers at the junior welterweight level, a move back to 140 pounds in 2015 seems very likely.

Algieri showed his chin and heart on Saturday, but the American was clearly overmatched against one of the best fighters on the planet. He'll have to add a tool to his arsenal to have some success on this level, with power in particular an area to work on for the future.
