MANNY PACQUIAO VS RICKY HATTON BETTING TIPS

If you're as excited about the Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao bout as I am, then you've no doubt been cruising through various UK sportsbooks looking for the best odds on the round-by-round wagering. If you haven't checked out Stan James yet, then I suggest you take a look as their odds are several points higher than the ones you'll find pretty much anywhere else. Pacquiao's outright odds are a little shorter than other sites with Manny listed at 1.44 compared to Hatton's 2.63. Again, it really must be stressed that the lucrative odds are sitting in the round-by-round action. If you think the fight will go the distance, you can back Pacquiao to win on points at 3.25 and Hatton for the points-win at 4.00. Stan James appears to favour a Pacquiao KO, TKO or DQ win between the 8 and the 11th rounds where the odds are listed at 17.00. The two opening rounds are the highest both listed at 34.00. Ricky "the Hitman" Hatton is favoured for victory between the 9th and 11th rounds with odds of 29.00. I consider these odds extremely generous on Hatton as I think Pacquiao flattered to deceive in his previous encounter with De La Hoya. I think Ricky would have dropped Oscar even faster and I'm also confident that Pacquiao and his camp are underestimating Hatton- indicated by his steadfast refusal to accept anything less than a 60/40 split- a stance that nearly derailed the entire bout. Between rounds 1 and 5 you can back Hatton at 41.00, rounds 6-8 are listed at 34.00 before dropping to 29.00 for 9 and 11 while rising to 34.00 for the 12th round KO.
