Manny Pacquiao dominates DK Yoo in exhibition fight, as the legendary Filipino boxer outclassed South Korean YouTuber and martial artist DK Yoo.
The bout took place on 11th of December, at KINTEX in Goyang, South Korea.
PacMan had train for weeks ahead of their exhibition bout with Korean, and it’s clearly paid-off for the former Filipino presidential candidate.
The result
The 43-year-old sent Yoo to the canvas on multiple occasions and even appeared to have the fight waved off at the end of the fourth round.
Yoo used all the tricks at his disposal in the fight to try and get to the end, claiming to have been punched in the back of the head and dancing around.

In the sixth and final round of the fight, Pacquiao knocked Yoo to the canvas twice, but the the second time to be ruled a slip.
Things looked likely that Pacquiao could’ve easily stopped Yoo inside their six-round charity boxing match if he wanted to, however, it was settled for a unanimous decision win.
What they said about the result of the bout of Pacquiao and DK Yoo?
“Are you kidding me?” the commentators said incredulously, having believed the fight should have been stopped earlier.
“I think Manny was like ‘I really wanted that stoppage’. You could tell it was in his DNA to go out and get the finish,” the commentators said.
“Once a finisher, always a finisher.”
What Pacquiao said after the victory
Pacquiao’s last appearance in an official fight was in August 2021 when he took a stunning decision loss to Cuba’s Yordenis Ugas.
As it has been after the victory against DK Yoo, he seems to be very eager for another comeback as he hinted about it next year.
“You’ll see,” Pacquiao said when asked about fighting in 2023 during his post-interview in the ring after beating Yoo.
“This is a great opportunity to come back in the ring,” he added. “I thought it was easy to retire… I really missed boxing.”
