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.
And also considering that Manny when he moves up losses his knockout ability until that Matthysse fight, then maybe the odd makes are trapping us with that huge odds for a KO? Good discussion though as we will be having fight week already and so some of us might have been contemplating on what will be the best course of action for a good bet.
But for me same, I will also consider Manny by UD. But let's see, maybe most of us might also goes to that bet and so it might trim down leading to the fight. As long though as we can make more than double our money with that beat then it's good.
