Manny Pacquiao V Antonio Margarito Betting Odds Make Pacman A Good Bet To Win
Friday 03 September 2010 at 11:25
 Arguably the most exciting fighter in the world at the moment, Manny Pacquiao, is due enter the ring again soon against former Welterweight World Champion, Antonio Margarito.
Manny Looks Too Strong For Controversial Margarito
Manny Pacquiao is on a thirteen fight winning streak stretching back to 2005 and its hard to see the twice recently beaten fighter Antonio Margarito causing him too many problems. Margarito has had a career littered with controversy including two bouts stopped due to clashes of heads and even more worryingly a suspension for attempting to hide plaster in his handwraps before his fight against Shane Mosley.
Pacquiao is rated a best-priced 1/6 with Boylesports and Sportingbet to win the contest for the vacant WBC Light Middleweight Title and Margarito is a 9/2 chance with Bet365 and William Hill. The draw is rated a best of 40/1 with Paddy Power.
Take Pacman To End Texas Contest Early
We've seen that Margarito was no match for Shane Mosley and that fighter was comprehensively outpointed by Floyd Mayweather, who is perhaps the only fighter who could truly test Pacquiao, so this could be an early night for a past his best Margarito. Pacquiao is stepping another weight for this contest and doubters might just worry that eventually that the journey from Super Featherweight to Light Middleweight in just eight fights might start to catch up with him but its doubtful that will be with a fighter such as Margarito.
In fact, Pacman seems to be getting better as he moves up the weights, especially since he has been with trainer Freddie Roche, so the odds of Pacquiao to win by KO, TKO Or Disqualification in the method of victory market at 4/7 with Boylesports makes some appeal. However a better bet might be to back Pacquiao to win in rounds 1-6 in the Round Group Betting with Sportingbet at 9/4.
