Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton Betting Tips: Back Hatton for the 10th Round KO

With the boxing world relieved that one of the year's biggest fights, Hatton vs Pacquiao, has been given the official green light; the bookmakers are now putting out their odds for this titanic clash and let me tell you from the outset that it looks like a juicy wagering opportunity to matter which way you slice it. Pacquiao is the out-and-out favourite listed at pretty much every single betting site at 2/5. He is grossly under-priced and I'm confident that his performance against De La Hoya flattered to deceive. I'm confident that if Oscar put in such a miserly performance against Hatton, Oscar wouldn't have made it past the fifth round. Pacquiao is a good fighter, but I don't see him having the ability to knock Hatton out. If Manny Pacquiao wins this fight, it's going to be on points. A points win for Manny pays out at 15/8.The real action here is on which round Ricky Hatton is going to knock out Manny Pacquiao. Again the bookmakers favour Manny heavily in terms of a TKO, DQ or KO victory with odds listed between 16/1 and 40/1 for the unlikely first-round knockout. Pacquiao's odds of victory are the shortest in the 8th and 9th and I'm confident that if Ricky comes out of those two rounds intact, even if he's behind by a round or two, Pacquiao will run out of gas and get destroyed in the 10th round. A Hatton victory on points is considered slightly more likely by the bookmakers- listed at 3/1 compared to 7/2 for the KO, TKO or DQ. You'll that Hatton odds of a non-points victory range from 33/1 to 40/1. You're getting good value on Hatton in every round and the bookmakers are favouring the fight going the distance.
