Pacquiao vs. Algieri: Full Card Results and Top Moments from Macau

Manny Pacquiao thoroughly dominated Chris Algieri in 12 one-sided rounds to retain his WBO welterweight title and end a thrilling fight card from Macau, China.

The legendary Pacquiao ended his opponent's upset aspirations early en route to a unanimous-decision victory that ended Algieri's unbeaten record. His overmatched opponent was downgraded to jogging around the ring in evasion, while Pacquiao often caught up to land blow after blow en route to six knockdowns. 

ESPN.com's Dan Rafael noted the scorecards:

After Pacquiao's resounding victory that marked his third straight, the elephant in the room could no longer be ignored. The soon-to-be 36-year-old—so often a soft-spoken guy—made it clear that he was calling out the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. for their dream fight, per GMA 7's Mav Gonzales:

The main event was just one of three title fights amid four total main card bouts. Here's a look at how all of the fights turned out:

Matchup Result	Outcome
Manny Pacquiao def. Chris Algieri*	Unanimous decision
Jessie Vargas def. Antonio DeMarco*	Unanimous decision
Vasyl Lomachenko def. Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo*	Unanimous decision
Zou Shiming def. Kwanpichit Onesongchaigym	Unanimous decision

The opening fight of the night didn't lack any flair, with hometown favorite Zou Shiming blasting Kwanpichit Onesongchaigym. Shiming improved to a perfect 6-0 for his career, keeping his flyweight title.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist is undoubtedly one to watch in the near future. He's never fought outside of Macau, but a convincing win on a huge fight card could allow him to broaden his horizons. After all, he's already a champion.

The relatively comfortable victory for Shiming paled in comparison to the dominance shown by the next victor. Vasyl Lomachenko was up next, and he took it to Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo early and often.

Lomachenko was noticeably hampered from the start of the fight with a right-hand injury, but it didn't much matter. It was just about the only thing that seemed like it could hold Lomachenko back from victory, but he wasn't intent on letting that happen, per Top Rank's Crystina Poncher:

HBO Boxing added analysis on Lomachenko's dominance:

If there was any doubt before, there isn't anymore that the 26-year-old Ukrainian is one of the best up-and-coming boxers near his weight class. The Olympic star is now 3-1 professionally and has his sights set on another title—Nicholas Walters' WBA world featherweight belt.

"I want to fight Walters and from there fight all the champions and clean up the division," Lomachenko told ESPN.com's Dan Rafael. "I want all of the belts."

Title belts have been a regular achievement for Lomachenko since starting, but don't be surprised if he starts generating even more appeal. After dismantling his foe so impressively on a huge fight card, Lomachenko's next bout would be worthy of a co-main event.

Although, folks may have to wait for him to face Walters as even his manager pumped the brakes, per Boxing360:

Lomachenko has been a wrecking ball ever since joining the boxing landscape, and his Olympic greatness of yesteryear could propel him all the way to contending for Orlando Salido's WBO featherweight belt. Heck, he could even do it with one hand if Saturday's fight was any indication.

Things weren't so easy for Jessie Vargas, who had to go through Antonio DeMarco—a former world champion in his own right—to improve to a dominant 27-0.

Vargas-DeMarco lived up to the billing early on as the most evenly matched fight of the night. The two boxers seemed to both have success in Round 1, before DeMarco took the early momentum with a strong second round.

A cut over Vargas' right eye hampered him early, which Ringside Boxing noted was the result of an accidental head butt:

As the head butting began to cease, Vargas started to take over. He put his speed and technique on display to throttle DeMarco, winning in a unanimous decision. After, Vargas decided he was ready to call out Pacquiao, via Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole:

Everyone is drumming up the possibility of Mayweather-Pacquiao, but it would be far from settling if Pacquiao had to face Vargas instead. Sure, it would be a massive disappointment, but Vargas' speed and technique would make for a similarly exciting fight between him and Pacquiao.

But speaking of Pacquiao, that brings us to our main event. And what a one-sided main event it was.

Pacquiao got things going early in the fight, and while he didn't get the first-round KO his camp predicted, he was aggressive and powerful from the get-go. It only took until the second round for him to send Algieri to the canvas, as BoxingInsider.com shows:

Not much changed in the fight until Round 5, when Algieri shook off his signature slow start and came out like a new fighter. Well, he was still running around backwards, but more to his style with effective counter jabs and a couple of strong flurries.

But as Ring Magazine's Ryan Songalia noted, even in Algieri's best round it was hard to score it his way:

Any momentum garnered there for Algieri quickly dispersed. Round 6 was a return to normalcy for Pacquiao, as he garnered two knockdowns of Algieri in the round. After two more in Round 8, it felt like a matter of when—not if—Pac-Man would get his KO.

It didn't come, but that hardly put a damper on one of Pacquiao's most convincing wins in recent memory. In Pacquiao's knockdowns and throughout 12 masterful rounds, he showcased every weapon in his arsenal in impressive fashion.

As for Algieri, the once undefeated boxer looked like a deer in the headlights from the opening round. This tweet from ESPN's Todd Grisham encapsulates the mentality of Algieri's corner, which stressed patience all fight:

Algieri's reach advantage and length have allowed him to stifle smaller, shiftier opponents—but Pacquiao isn't your average opponent. The legend showed his versatility not only in picking Algieri as his opponent, but thoroughly bashing him in the process.

Of course, this convincing of a result from Pacquiao only set up the one moment that most who tuned in were primarily waiting for.

And Pacquiao delivered, via ESPN SportsCenter:

Now, there's no telling whether Floyd Mayweather Jr. will do the same. Pacquiao has his best resume in recent memory to earn the fight, but the undefeated Mayweather will still have to come halfway in order to make the dream fight happen. 

That may or may not happen, and most of it is out of Pacquiao's control. But it's obvious after Saturday night that he's still one of the elite pound-for-pound boxers and can still channel his old self in the ring.

Just ask Algieri.
