Manny Pacquiao made easy work in defeating Jesse Vargas in Nov. 2016 at the Thomas and Mack Center, Paradise, Nevada, USA. At one point, the neophyte senator in the Philippine senate sent Vargas to the canvas.

Vargas for his part, did have some occasional successes with his looping right hand as his primary weapon. But Pacquiao's speed, force, and stamina proved to be too much for Vargas to handle, who in the process, lost his WBO welterweight crown to the Filipino boxing champ.

Despite the dominance of Pacquiao in that fight, Vargas has made it known he wants a rematch with Pacquiao - this time around he said he will beat him, according to BoxingScence.
