Scorecard: Manny Pacquiao still has it, dominates Jessie Vargas in 12 rounds

— -- A roundup of the past week's notable boxing results from around the world:

Saturday at Las Vegas

Manny Pacquiao W12 Jessie Vargas - Fight recap
Wins a welterweight title
Scores: 118-109 (twice), 114-113
Records: Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs); Vargas (27-2, 10 KOs)

Rafael's remarks: Pacquiao, the 37-year-old Filipino legend, showed he still has it with this impressive one-sided win to regain a welterweight title (despite the horrendous 114-113 card turned in by judge Dave Moretti, who would have had it a draw had Pacquiao not scored a knockdown). It was Pacquiao's second lopsided win in a row since the loss to Floyd Mayweather in their 2015 mega fight and Pacquiao's first since his brief retirement following his win over Timothy Bradley Jr. in April and subsequent election to the senate in his home country. Pacquiao, a southpaw and boxing's only eight-division world titleholder, may not have gotten the knockout he so badly wanted (because he hasn't had one since 2009) but he pounded Vargas, 27, of Las Vegas, with a variety of punches from angles, including a sharp straight left hand that dropped him in the second round.
