    LAS VEGAS – Rare is the time that Manny Pacquiao is outfought and outpunched in a world title fight.

    Yordenis Ugas now owns such bragging rights against the world’s only eighth-division world champion.

    In a total show of dominance, the 35-year-old Cuban got the better of Pacquiao in just about every aspect of their 12-round bout on Saturday night (Sunday, Manila time) that more than validated the unanimous decision he pulled off against one of boxing’s all-time greatest.

    CompuBox showed Ugas was the better fighter on this night when he retained his WBA welterweight crown before a capacity crowd at the T-Mobile Arena.

      In the final punch stats, the Cuban connected 37 percent of his total punches thrown (151-of-405), and used his length to his advantage by landing 21.4 percent of his jabs (50-of-234).

      But most notably, he had a high 59 percent on power punches (101-of-171) in a department the high-volume punching Filipino would usually dominated.

      Despite his age of 42, Pacquiao still proved to be active in the ring, throwing a total of 815 punches, but landing only 130 for a low 16 percent accuracy.

      The stats also noted Pacquiao’s percentage in total punches (16 percent) against Ugas was even lower compared to his fight against Floyd Mayweather in 2015 when he netted a total of 19 percent.

      The Cuban champion’s length, size, jabs, and power punches accuracy had him winning in all three judges’ scorecards – Dave Moretti (116-112), Patricia Morse Jarman (115-113), and Steve Weisfeld (116-112).
