Two weeks more to go and we will see if Manny still has it to defeat a young boxer in Barrios. So far no movement in the betting odds, Barrios is still the heavy favorites to win this fight.
Yes, nothing’s really changed and probably won’t.. Pacquiao is already way past his prime, and Barrios is the defending champ. But for fun, I’d still take that 3.2 odds on Pacman. I’m just hoping more betting markets open up for this fight, like knockout by round range. I’m really curious what the odds would be for a Pacman KO between rounds 1-3. I’d definitely consider that too once it’s available.
Pacman by KO is 6.00 and By Decision is 8.20.
I'm tempted to Pac by Decision. If he ain't the kind of fighter the way he used to but still can defend himself and box heavy. It might just e possible to see him win by decision.
I think that is a good bet, specially by knockout, we have seen that Barrios has been crack before, although it's not at 147 lbs. Tank Davis has tested that chin before and so is Keith Thurman. If Pacman as we have seen in his training videos is really that hungry and still has his God given power and speed, for sure he might caught Barrios several times in this fight and there could be a good a time that he might score that vaunted knockout and win by that odds.
However Barrios being the younger guy while also have the hands that can KO. Its also possible that he will win by Decision. I'm not sure if he can KO Pacman.
I don't think he is known as a KO artist. And again as I have said, if he steps on his game, he usually loses, like those two big fights he got. And age is just a numbers, we have seen some huge comeback thru boxing history and maybe Pacman will have one of those nights wherein he is destined to win by decision or by knockout.
