Manny Pacquiao established his jab early in the fourth round as the champion Jessie Vargas was forced to go on the defensive.

Vargas tried to counter with his left hook but it would be his right straight that would find the spot midway through the round.

Momentum, however, swung back to Pacquiao’s favor with the challenger using his jab to great effect.
