MANNY PACQUIAO VS JOSH CLOTTEY LATEST ODDS SHOW PACQUIAO SET FOR LATE KO

Pound-for-pound best fighter in the world Manny Pacquiao is just a few days away from his blockbuster fight with Josh Clottey. The Filipino fighters odds continue to drop quickly as punters are piling on bets and its gotten to the point where there really isn’t much value on Pacquiao outright, so if you’re looking to back him it looks like you’ll have to do some additional homework.

You’ll find BET365 listing Manny Pacquiao at a slim 1/7 to win the fight by any means. Clottey is available at 9/2 with the over/under on rounds set at 9.5. Over 9.5 rounds is trading at 8/15 while under 9.5 rewards at 11/8. Considering Pacquiao’s most probable outcome is a KO or TKO victory, this is a very interesting set of odds.
All signs currently point to a dramatic Pacquiao victory in the later rounds. This is clearly exhibited by the round betting odds at BET365. You’ll find that Pacquiao’s odds range from 28/1 to 10/1 in his most probable rounds. He is 28/1 to win in the 1st round and 25/1 to win the fight in round 2. He is listed at an 18/1 price to win in round 3 and 16/1 for round 4. He is 14/1 for a fifth round victory while he trades at 12/1 for a win in rounds 6 and 7. A victory in rounds 8-10 pays off at 10/1 each while a 12/1 listing is available at round 11. A round 12 victory rewards at 14/1.
Josh Clottey is 66/1 to win in every single round. You can also get in on grouped round betting at a reduced price. Rounds 7-9 are 4/1 while rounds 10-12 pay 9/2. You can back both of those and still get decent odds. Since Clottey can absorb a lot of punishment, I don’t think an early victory is likely unless we see a real shock. Those odds on the later rounds are looking solid.
In regards to the fight outcome, Manny Pacquiao to KO or TKO Clottey pays out at 8/11 while a decision in his favour is a solid 13/8. Clottey to win via KO or TKO pays 8/1 while he trades at 12/1 for a decision victory. It’s clear that Pacquiao will win most of the rounds and it will require a KO for Clottey to take the win. He is very under-rated, the odds tell you that, and I think he has the hitting power to potentially derail Manny if things work in his favour. The issue is that Freddy Roach and the rest of Pacquiao’s training staff are very crafty folk and they will have a plan ready to deal with Clottey’s punching power.
The odds indicate Pacquiao should take this in the late rounds, but a decision wouldn’t be a huge shocker. Additionally, anybody backing Pacquiao to win in the early rounds is in for a colossal payout.
