Pacquiao exhibition fight in Japan ends in a draw

The bout in Saitama, north of Tokyo, was ruled a draw because it had no judges, with Pacquiao, 45, struggling to dominate Anpo, a 28-year-old mixed martial artist. The exhibition bout was conducted under strict boxing rules. Anpo, a former kickboxer, had been threatened before the fight with a $5 million fine if he used any non-boxing moves, such as a back fist or feinting a kick. Both fighters felt each other out after the opening bell but the 166-cm Pacquiao could not overcome his 180-cm opponent during the three-round bout.
