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.

I admit I haven't placed my bet yet. It's just a little more than a week to go before the fight night.

Anyway, this bet is just my own way of showing support to Manny. This isn't the usual kind of bet, a confident one with profit in mind. This is for the sake of support, of cheering for a countryman. There's no denying that however we look at the match, Manny will definitely have a hard time. He's old. Although Barrios isn't anymore at the peak of his career either, he's so much younger than Manny. That means a lot in a fighting sport.
