The unanimous points victory of Manny over the WBO Welterweight champion Jessie proved a lot about Manny being a veteran in the boxing world. The victory was grand celebration for Manny as he takes on the new title of WBO champion.
There's no doubt that Manny possessed speed, power, and experience to defeat Jessie Vargas. In the previous report by Gamenguide, Bob Arum stated that Jessie Vargas has a chance of defeating Manny who in seven years has not won a knockout victory. However, Vargas was caught by a powerful left hand job by Pacquiao in the second round of the fight.
Manny Pacquiao and Jessie Vargas have a flurry exchanged of punches, but Pacquiao out boxed him almost every round of the fight. Following their fight, Vargas was surprised Manny's speed and he couldn't counter or land his best shot. Pacquiao's punches pinpointed accuracy that made Vargas looked like a punching bag.

However, according to reports, Manny was not at all challenged by Vargas' punches. The game finished with twelve rounds, which makes Vargas a tough rival for Pacman. Vargas may have been young, strong, and smart, but Pacman has strategies and skill to defeat his foe.

Speculations also arise that the defeat of Vargas will prompt him to retire from the boxing world. Reports claimed that Vargas could not accept his defeat, and would rather hide away from the criticisms. However, neither Vargas nor his coach released a statement, so the rumors are good as lies.
On the other hand, Manny has released a statement that he is going for a retirement soon, according to The Guardian.
