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.
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 lessons

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.
