MANNY PACQUIAO VS ANTONIO MARGARITO ODDS AND BETTING PREVIEW

While November 13 is a ways off at this point, it hasn't stopped the bookmakers from releasing a very detailed slate of odds for this widely-anticipated fight. It goes without saying that this one isn't exactly the match-up that many of us were hoping for this year but it remains up in the air that Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather will go off at all. 
So, I guess we've just got to go ahead and make do with Pacquiao vs Margarito. 
Needless to say, Manny Pacquiao is a massive favourite for this one and Bet365 has him priced at a slim 1/7 listing to win the fight by any means. 
Antonio Margarito's odds to beat Manny Pacquiao are currently trading at around 9/2 and I expect his odds to drift higher as the volume pours in on Pacquiao closer to fight time. I'd hold off on backing Margarito. 
The bookmakers don't expect this one to go the distance and the over/under on rounds has been set at 9.5. The under is short-priced at 8/15 while over 9.5 is trading at 11/8. 
It's also probably not a massive surprise that Pacquiao to win by KO, TKO or DQ is the most favoured outcome for this fight. You can back that at 2/5 right now and I think that the volume might drive the price down, so locking in your bet now will probably pay dividends in November. 
Pacquiao to win by decision is trading at a 10/3 margin and it looks as though, if Margarito will have a shot at this, it will likely be by KO, TKO or DQ. You can back that at 15/2. A 14/1 payout is available should Margarito win by decision. 
If Pacquiao is going to win by KO or TKO, he's favoured to do it between rounds 7-9 and you can back that group of rounds at a 7/2 listing. You can back rounds 4-6 at a 4/1 price. Margarito is trading at 18/1 to win in rounds 10-12 and that's the shortest price.
