Pac-Man is back. Manny Pacquiao was victorious over Brandon Rios in the WBO international welterweight fight on Saturday (Nov. 23) night. The fight, set in Macau, China, lasted 12-rounds and left Rios bloody. For Pacquiao, the fight was not only a big victory that saved his boxing legacy, but it also marked a successful comeback following the knockout he suffered at the fists of Juan Manuel Márquez almost a year ago. Pac-Man's victory was also a win for the Philippines following Typhoon Haiyan, which left the island country in shambles.
