Prior to Manny Pacquiao's fight with Chris Algieri, the Filipino ring icon's trainer Freddie Roach was vocal in saying that the American fighter didn't stand a chance.
On Sunday, Roach was proven right as Pacquiao completely dominated the fight, knocking down Algieri six times en route to a dominant decision win.
After the fight, Roach couldn't help but give one more jab to the Algieri camp.
"The master boxer was given a master class by Professor Pacquiao," said Roach.
Algieri holds a master's degree and an ambition to become a doctor once his boxing days are over. All week in the build-up, his trainer Tim Lane had been declaring that he would destroy Pacquiao by "master boxing". — Report from Agence France-Presse

Floyd Mayweather's son: 'My father is a coward'
It isn't a word usually associated with an undefeated professional boxer who has won championship titles across five weight divisions. But for a son who was a witness to his father's beating of his mother four years ago, "coward" is an apt term to describe Floyd Mayweather Jr.
In an article published on USA Today, Koraun Mayweather, the fighter's eldest son with former partner Josie Harris, recalls the night his mother was attacked by the boxer in 2010.
"(My dad) said to lock my door and stay in my room," said Koraun, who is now 15 years old. "I sat there and thought about what I was going to do next. Just for like a minute."
Harris was asleep when Mayweather arrived with an associate, James McNair, at around 4 a.m. The boxer, agitated by the fact that his former partner was dating another man, beat her in front of their then 11-year-old son.
"I ran and I tried to go through the front door to go to the (security) gate," Koraun said of his actions during that night. "But then his friend (McNair) came through the door and blocked off the stairway for me to go through."
The boy then went back to his room, locked the door, and got out of the house through his bathroom to call for help.
"I just told (the guard) that my mom was getting hurt and to call the ambulance and the police," he said.
Four years later, Koraun is still seeing his father every once in while. Mayweather recently gifted him a golf cart for his birthday, but the boy said he is still coming to terms with what his father did, especially with the boxer's continuous denial.
"He is a coward," he said.
After everything he had seen, Koraun, now 15 years old, has no plans of taking after his father's footsteps in the boxing world.
"I find (boxing) boring. It is just like how people sit in the ring and fight for 12 rounds and it gets boring after a while," he said. "Sometimes they run."

Chris Algieri is ’110 per cent’ prepared for Manny Pacquiao after ‘strenuous’ 10-week training camp
Chris Algieri arrives in Macao ahead of Manny Pacquiao challenge and discusses everything from handsomeness to Zab Judah
UST one day after arriving in Macao, undefeated WBO light-welterweight champion Chris Algieri resumed his promotional roadwork for the biggest fight of his professional life – challenging WBO welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao.
On a busy Sunday in the St. Mark’s Square section of the Shoppes at Venetian, Algieri made a public appearance where was greeted by hundreds of fans, posed for photos and answered questions about his career and this Saturday’s battle with Pacquiao.
“With one million square feet of retail space and over 350 stores at the Shoppes at Venetian I think I can get in my daily roadwork and my Christmas shopping, all at the same time,” said Algieri to the delight of fans and shop owners alike. “I love Macao. It was great during my last visit on the promotional tour and it is even better this time. I am glad to be able to spend more time here.
“I worked hard for over 10 weeks in the most strenuous and productive training camp of my career. I had a lot of different sparring partners, including Zab Judah, giving me different looks to prepare me for anything Pacquiao decides to throw at me. I am 110 per cent prepared for our fight.”
When asked how a fighter could be so handsome, Algieri responded, “Every time I enter the ring I look to improve and perfect my master-boxer style of fighting – utilising the space inside the ring to my advantage. Good defence is the key to preserving my handsomeness.” Laughter and shrieks from his female fans greeted the underdog’s words.
Algieri concluded his public appearance by presenting three contest winners with autographed boxing gloves and posing for photographs with them.
Algieri will resume light training today – Monday – and meet with the first wave of U.S. media to arrive in the afternoon.
