Manny Pacquiao is set for another big fight at Cowboys Stadium as he is officially confirmed to fight Antonio Margarito on November 13 for the vacant WBC Super Welterweight Title. It isn't a huge surprise that Manny Pacquiao is a massive favourite for this bout and most major bookmakers have him priced at 1/8 across the board.
The best odds on Pacquiao are currently at Bet365, who price him just a point ahead at a 1/7 price tag. Antonio Margarito is trading at a 9/2 price to win the fight by any method.
The betting on total rounds in the fight indicates that we're cruising towards a Pacquiao victory by KO or TKO. The over/under on rounds is set at 9.5 with the over priced at 11/8 and the under at an 8/15 listing.
If you're looking to back Manny Pacquiao to win by KO or TKO you can lock that in at a slim 2/5 price. I think that's going to be an extremely popular bet so it will likely get bet down shorter, I wouldn't be surprised to see it available at 1/5 or even shorter once we're ready for the fight.
Pacquiao to win by decision or technical decision is trading at a 10/3 price but I'm not really sure that Margarito is going to go a full twelve rounds, though I do think this could be an interesting in-play bet if things don't exactly go according to plan.
If Antonio Margarito is going to pull this one off, he's favoured to do it by KO, TKO or DQ at a 15/2 price. You can back him to win by decision at a 14/1 listing. A draw between the two fighters is trading at 33/1.
If you're looking to cash in a big win here and you think Pacquiao is going to win by KO or TKO, then you should probably delve into the round betting. Pacquiao's shortest price to win in an individual round is at 10/1 for rounds 5-10. He is 12/1 to win in rounds 4 and 11 and you can back him at 14/1 to win in round 3.
He's 16/1 to win in rounds 2 and 12. He's 18/1 to score a dramatic first round victory. That would send quite a message to Floyd Mayweather.
Margarito's odds are as low as 40/1 for rounds 9-11 and he's 50/1 to win in rounds 12, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3. He is priced at 60/1 for a second round victory and 66/1 for round 1.
