The Judges scored the bout 114-113, 118-109, and 118-109, all for Manny Pacquiao who saw his record improve to 59 wins with six losses and two draws.
An awesome Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao made history anew as he became the first senator to win a world boxing championship.
The good fighter "Pacman" was looking to end a knockout drought that dated all the way back to 2009 but had to settle for flooring Vargas once en route to a unanimous decision victory.
The 37-year-old Pacquiao, who was elected a member of the Senate last May, overpowered the younger Jessie Vargas in 12 rounds, showed off his still remarkable speed and accuracy and flashed his punching power in front of a sellout crowd at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
"I'm happy! I'm trying every round to knock him down, that's why I'm always aggressive, but not careless. I'm very careful to go inside, because I know he will counter me." Pacquiao said.
The win came in front of a crowd of over 16,000 fans, which included Pacquiao's longtime rival, retired American Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. who afterwards congratulated the Filipino star "Pacman" for his win.
