Pacquiao knocked Mosley down with a left hook in the third round, a punch that seemed to sap Mosley’s willingness to engage. Pacquiao ran after Mosley the rest of the fight, but the former champion who has never been stopped in 18 years in the ring managed to finish the 12th round on his feet.
Pacquiao won 120-108 on one scorecard, 120-107 on a second and 119-108 on the third. The Associated Press had him winning 118-110.
For Mosley, the fight was strikingly similar to his bout a year ago against Floyd Mayweather Jr.—except this time he didn’t even land a big punch like he did early on against Mayweather.
His biggest moment on this night came when referee Kenny Bayless mistakenly ruled that Mosley knocked Pacquiao down in the 10th round when he hadn’t even hit him with a punch.

 Manny Pacquiao won but make no mistake about it Mosley did not make it an exciting fight. This is a lot like the Pacquiao Clottey fight - Mosley just wanted to survive by backpedaling. Furthering the problem is Pacquiao's inability to cut off Mosley's back steps. This is clearly not Pacquiao's best performance despite winning every round in the scorecards.
