Pacquiao Boxing Betting Odds

Manny Pacquiao is slated to face Antonio Margarito November 13th after failed negotiations between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Margarito, 38-6, 27 KOs, will get a chance at redemption after being much maligned following his California boxing license got revoked after putting illegal plaster inserts into his gloves before getting KOd by Shane Mosley in January of 2009. Pacquiao, 51-3-2, 38 KO’s, will be going for his 8th world title at 154 pounds with the bout being fought for the vacant WBC title.

The official fight odds have not yet been released but it is expected that Pacquiao be instilled as a -400 boxing betting favorite in this bout.

Pacquiao will have sizeable advantages in hand and foot speed while Margarito will be the much bigger man in the ring. The size differential might not have quite the impact that one might expect after Pacquiao proved that he can handle a bigger fighter with his annihilation of 5’11” Oscar De La Hoya. The Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito fight odds give Pacquiao a 80% chance of winning on the
boxing betting moneyline.

Margarito has not shown that he can handle world-class fighters with great speed after he was pummled by the much faster Shane Mosley. Antonio never stops coming however, and Pacquiao has shown a vulnerability to Margarito’s best punch, the uppercut.
