WBC Continental Americas super-featherweight champ Bobby 'The Sniper' Pacquiao has been chosen as Boxer of the Month in the latest rankings for June released by the Games and Amusements Board.

Pacquiao was cited following his impressive fourth-round demolition of Kevin Kelley last June 10 at the Madison Square Garden in New York.

The win allowed the younger Pacquiao to step out of his more illustrious brother's shadows, as he hopes to carve his own name in the lucrative 130-lb division.

Up next for Bobby Pacquiao is an August 12 showdown with Mexican star Humberto Soto, with the winner assured of top billing in the choice for Marco Antonio Barrera's next opponent.
