Manny Pacquiao beat Korean opponent DK Yoo in an exhibition fight held on Sunday, Dec. 11 in Goyang, South Korea.
The retired boxer won via a unanimous decision in the recently concluded match that took place at the Korea International Exhibition Center. Pacquiao knocked down the Korean martial arts guru in the sixth round after letting out strong hits that put Yoo on the ground multiple times.
