== Bout Summary ==
The opening round saw Aguilera moving around the ring looking to pick his shots. He found moderate success with the right hand. Arreola walked his opponent down and threw big shots landing infrequently. Action was paused in the round to replace the mouthpiece of Aguilera. Arreola came out strong in Round 2 and threw bombs against Aguilera who was covered and trapped in the corner of the ring. As Arreola tired, however, Aguilera began to throw combinations of his own. The 3rd Round was all Arreola. He hurt Aguilera early then threw repeated barrages as his opponent was against the ropes and covered. Following a right hand that snapped back the head of Aguilera, the referee stepped in and waved an end to the bout.

== Bout Summary ==
The largely one-sided bout saw Pacquiao throw combinations against a heavily defensive Joshua Clottey. Pacquiao's volume of punches seemed to keep Clottey from opening up and attempting to mount much offensively other than an occasional right hand.
