MANNY Pacquiao clinched his 60th victory by a seventh-round knockout on Sunday of Lucas Matthysse of Argentina, his first stop in nine years.
Pacquiao said that he worked hard but was surprised by the quick win in the World Boxing Association welterweight title fight.
Pacquiao rebounded from his disappointing loss last year to Australian Jeff Horn and his win could extend his boxing career a back seat to his political life as a Filipino senator.
"It's boxing, you win, you lose," Matthysse Said. He praised Pacquiao as a "great legend" and said that he would pause after his loss. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad also attended the fight, the country's biggest boxing match since 1975, with Muhammad Ali and Australian Joe Bugner clashing. Duterte said, "I would like to congratulate Senator Manny Pacquiao for giving us pride and for bringing the Filipino nation together once again."
