Pacquaio is the favorite by bettors. +285. I just hope he lives to the expectations. If not, many will go bankrupt.hehehe.

You think it will go off that high come fight time?Originally Posted by brucelee
That's great odds for Barrera fans. He's certainly no walkover even at this stage in his career and Manny has had several distractions lately.
Barrera knows him now, I'm sure he won't be planning to trade with him like he did last time. There is a great chance he may resort to being a boxer again and just stay outside and outbox Manny for a decision win.
Pacquiao for all his excitment and explosiveness is still largely a one dimensional fighter.
Not a gimme by any means, at those odds Barrera is worth a gamble.
I doubt though that the odds will still be the same come fight time.
A wise gambler though will bet on Manny considering how Manny demolished Barrera at peak during their first encounter. A loyal gambler will bet on Barrera and will consider the "surprise" factor as the reason for Barrera's last defeat from Manny.
I'd like to bet on Barrera.

I like both fighters but I'd hold off on making any bets on MAB. If history has proven anything with him, he can't help himself when it comes to getting into a brawl. He can box great when he wants to but he has that warrior mentality which could cost him.Originally Posted by brucelee
I also like Manny to win this, but I didn't think the odds were that heavily in favor of Manny.
those odds won't mean anything, it'll reduce down to about 5-15 come fight night.
Im putting my money on Barrera hes got nothing to loose and all to gain so you know he is gonna come well prepared for this fight and he is by far the more skilled and experienced well rounded fighter Im expecting Marco to out box Pacman
Outboxing Pacman will be a tall order for BArrera. Outskilled maybe....

"Pacquiao was the underdog when he first met Barrera at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas almost four years ago. And his 11th round knockout of Barrera proved a lot of oddsmakers wrong."
Odd makers can be full of sh1t sometimes. They didn't know Pac that well, that's why they were wrong.
Gotta remember back in 2003 Barrera was at the peak of his pwers and Pacquiao wasn't anything like the force he is now in terms of reputation. You get wins like this all every now and then, Hatton beating Tszyu, for example, where the guy wasn't the favourite but he was the better fighter.Originally Posted by Pacstraightleft
Remember the good old days, we miss you Marco!
Most often than not , there are hints on why more bettors would choose a fighter. People chose BArrera before because he was the king of the superfeather weight. There is a reason why he was king. He had humbled Naz. Naz was seemingly unbeatable during that time but Barrera proved he had the skills to tutor Naz some boxing lessonsOriginally Posted by 'Big' Dan McCarthy
Pacquaio,on the other hand, proved too much for Barrera during their last outing. This is the reason why more people gamble for Manny.
Barrera when interviewed confessed that he will prepare for this fight more than he had prepared for Morales, NAz and everybody he had faced in boxing. That's something. Barrera means business here.
We may be in for a surprise if Barrera lives up to his legendary name.

had a dream pac knock out mab in the first round but last time I had a dream of boxing oscar (or atleast I think it was oscar) knock out maywheather. We all know how that went. floyd cruise to a s.d. and we know how judges would at times judge to get a rematc, but in this case a trilogy. Or maybe mab will be the one knocking out pac
I pick pac to win but my dream just may have told me the opposite, boxing is a lot like dreams....Both Are Fucking Unpredictable!!!!
ive a feeling Barrera's going to win this,ill probably throw an auld bet down as well,
not sure why i think Barrera will win, im hoping he uses his boxing skills and chooses not
to trade with Pac, if he does theres no reason he can't win!
Really can't see Pac losing this one. I have to go with the oddsmakers, not that high though.
