Alberto Dapidran Pacquiao, known simply as Bobby Pacquiao, is a lightweight boxer. He is the little brother of Manny Pacquiao, the WBC super featherweight and lightweight title holder. Unlike his older brother, Bobby isn't quite dominant as he struggles to make a name in the boxing world.

Boxing career

Pacquiao turned professional in 1997. He won the Philippine super featherweight title four times in years 2002 and 2004.

He began fighting in the United States, where his career picked up. On June 17, 2005 in Cabazzon, California, he defeated Carlos Navarro for the WBC Continental Americas super featherweight title by a 7th round technical knockout.

On June 10, 2006, he defended his title against former WBC featherweight titlist Kevin Kelley.

In a match held on November 16, 2006 to defend his title against Hector Velazquez, Bobby Pacquiao was stripped of his title for being three pounds over the weight limit. The fight was derided for careless performances from both Velazquez and Pacquiao. Referee Kenny Bayless warned Pacquiao four times for performing too many low blows before he disqualified him in the eleventh round. Pacquiao started competing in the lightweight division from there.

Following three bouts in in that division, Pacquiao knocked out Decho Bankluaygym in eight rounds on August 2 2008 for the WBO Asia-Pacific lightweight title.
