Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios results live: Round 2

A look at what happened in the second round of Manny Pacquiao’s bout with Brandon Rios.

Stephen Dunn

Manny Pacquiao had dominated the first round of his fight with Brandon Rios and came out in the second round wanting to do more of the same.

Rios was able to do a lot of digging to the body early on, though Pacquiao did keep lading hard shots like his lead left and some very good shots to the body.

When Pacquiao was landing his best punches, Rios was waiving him in and then coming forward throwing more of his own power. It was a compelling round, though a bit one-sided for Pacquiao other than a few spots where Rios would get in.

Late in the round, Pacquiao landed a hard left and then a flurry of shots that had Rios looking like he was stuck in mud while getting battered.

Round: 10-9 Pacquiao
Fight: 20-18 Pacquiao
