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.
That's an interesting bet. Considering that Manny has only knocked out 2 opponents for the last 16 years and the last one happened against Matthysse back in 2018, which was 7 years ago, I think the odds you'd get for that bet would be 9.00 or 10.00, or probably even as high as 12.00. But it isn't impossible, so if you're betting for fun that must be a nice risk to take with a $5 or $10 bet.
I'm just considering Manny by UD. Even this is a high-risk bet.
It is a high risk bet to bet on Pacman as the winner for this fight. However, similar to everyone's underestimation on him on his fight against Keith Thurman, I will not be shocked if this will be another upset to add on Pacman's record heheheh.
I also agree on your speculation on Pacman having the victory with a decision. But to bet safely on a risky bet already, it will certainly be enough to bet on Pacman.
