From BBC Sport
Marco Antonio Barrera confirmed his retirement from boxing after losing for the second time to Filipino idol Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on Sunday.
The Mexican former featherweight, super bantamweight and super featherweight champion was outpointed (118-109, 118-109, 115-112) after a tense clash.
The fight came to life in round four as both unleashed a blizzard of punches.
But Pacquiao increasingly asserted control from the sixth, cutting off Barrera's counters, to ensure the win. |
