Manny Pacquiao Knocks Out Argentine boxer, Lucas Matthysse

It was a dominant, devastating display as “smoking hot” Pacquiao registered the 60th win of his 23-year career knocking down the big-puncher from Argentina as early as the third round with a stunning left uppercut that thudded around the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur. 

The 35-year-old Argentine, who came in with a reputation as a big puncher, had no answer to Pacquiao’s blistering speed and he dropped again in the fifth. When a right-left combination thudded home to send Matthysse crashing down for a third time in the seventh round referee Kenny Bayless stepped in to save him from further punishment.
