On this day in 2010, Manny Pacquiao made history by becoming the only boxer to win world titles in eight different weight classes. He achieved this by defeating Antonio Margarito for the WBC light-middleweight title. In another event, 41 years ago, Ray Mancini retained the WBA 135 title by 14th-round KO of Deuk Koo Kim, leading to the reduction of title fights from 15 to 12 rounds. Additionally, 24 years ago, Lennox Lewis outpointed Evander Holyfield in their rematch to become the undisputed heavyweight champion, the last time that was accomplished.
