Philippine hero Pacquiao faces tough political fight

MANILA — Boxing champ Manny Pacquiao will return home this week to a hero's welcome but his next challenge may see him go down for the count as he steps into the even more bruising ring of Philippine politics.

Pacquiao's latest victory has earned the superstar even more acclaim and wealth, but analysts warn that adulation and big spending may not convert to votes when he runs for a seat in Congress in May national elections.

"It will be a harder battle than all the battles he has waged in the ring," said political science professor Ronald Holmes of Manila's De La Salle University.

Manny Pacquiao win by Unanimous Decision over Joshua Clottey

Manny Pacquiao has won a unanimous decision over Joshua Clottey in their WBO welterweight title fight, dominating the bout against a defensive opponent.

Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs) controlled Saturday's fight from the start, throwing mostly body shots because Clottey locked his arms in front of his face. The Filipino never slowed throwing punches and Ghana's Clottey (35-4) never got very aggressive. Neither fighter went down.

Two judges scored it 119-109, the other 120-108.

A crowd of 50,994 attended at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
