TRUE to his word, Manny Pacquiao, hit hard; and it didn?t take long for Fahsan 3K Battery to realize it was a lost cause.
Television footage showed Pacquiao floored Fahsan with a deadly combination of punches, climaxing with a hard right that led to a knockout victory in the fourth round of their duel at the Fort Open Grounds in Taguig City on Saturday night. Pacquiao thus defended his International Boxing Federation and Ring Magazine Featherweight crowns.
Pacquiao?s assault started as early as the second round, wherein he scored a knockout that weakened Fahsan?s drive. The Thai boxer never quite recovered.
In remarks broadcast after the bout, Pacquiao dedicated his victory to the nearly 1,800 dead or missing from floods and landslides brought on by a series of storms in eastern Luzon.
Vice President Noli de Castro presented the trophy to Pacquiao.
