#boxing #PacquiaoBarrios was a majority draw, with Mario #Barrios retaining the WBC Welterweight belt. At 46, Manny #Pacquiao 'still got it', in terms of the speed and footwork. A draw at that age in a championship fight is commendable.

Sebastian #Fundora retained the WBC Super Welterweight belt after defeating Tim #Tszyu via corner stoppage in their rematch.

Mark #Magsayo won over Jorge #Mata via UD.

Gary #Russell Jr won via TKO against Hugo #Castañeda.

💪👊

The amount of #codeswitching by #boxing commentators in the #Philippines is fascinating. This fight with Mark #Magsayo is no exception. I've watched upwards of 50 fights where this is the commentary style. I'm not familiar with the linguistic behavior there outside of this domain, so I'm really curious how this works in other contexts.
