After the disappointment of the Mayweather fight not going ahead it’s good to see a strong replacement like tough Ghanaian Joshua Clottey step up to the plate. This is going to be a hell of a fight and we’ll be bringing you the latest boxing betting odds and prices from all over the world of sports betting so that you know where to get the best prices before the fight. I expect this one to attract a huge amount of attention and, if you’re looking to back Manny Pacquiao to win, this is the time to do it as there will be so much betting volume on the Filipino fighter that bookmakers will be cutting his price as we get closer and closer to fight time.
Boxing's the most popular active fighter Manny Pacquaio announced that he will be facing Joshua Clottey from Cowboys stadium March 13 2010. The Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao couldn’t be made over drug testing issues but the formidable African contender Joshua Clottey, 35-3-2, 20 KO’s, will put on a good show in Mayweather‘s place. Manny Pacquiao, 50-3-2, 38 KO’s, is regarded as the #2 pound-4-pound fighter in the world and Joshua Clottey is the #5 ranked welterweight contender. This will be the first boxing match held in the Cowboys new $1.1 Billion dollar stadium and it should be a huge event.
Manny Pacquiao has been instilled as the “chalk” by the oddsmakers but Clottey is a well-schooled and very durable. Both fighters are coming off wins over pound-4-pound entrant Miguel Cotto. Clottey lost a disputed split-decision to Miguel Cotto in a fight that he had the Puerto Rican busted up at the bouts conclusion.
Pacquiao lost a few early rounds against Cotto before completely dominating Miguel for the remainder of the fight in a 12th round TKO. The boxing betting odds of Manny Pacquiao and Johua Clottey total is at 9.5 rounds with over at -150 odds.
Manny Pacquiao is currently listed at a slim 1/4 outright price to win his fight by any means. Joshua Clottey trades at 11/4 to defeat Pacquiao while the draw, which never happens, is 33/1 at Blue Square. They do not currently have outright method of victory betting, but they are listing prices for decision or technical decision victories. You can back Pacquiao at 10/11 to win the fight via decision while Clottey looks to only have a shot at victory should he knock Pacquiao out. He is 8/1 to win on points.
The round betting odds are available and they’re in line with all other sports betting sites in relation to Manny Pacquiao. He is 33/1 to win the fight in the first or last round, 25/1 to win in the 2nd or the 11th round and 20/1 to win in the 3rd , 9th or 10th round. You’ll find him short-priced at 16/1 to win in any one of the 4-8 rounds. Solid boxing betting odds, especially on those later rounds where I think Manny Pacquiao could move in for the kill.
Joashua Clottey, who has a 35-3 record, with 20 wins by knockouts, is a 6/4 chance to beat the five-weight, five-time world champion, Manny Pacquiao.
