PADDY POWER RICKY HATTON VS MANNY PACQUIAO BETTING TIPS

Paddy Power has put together a really tight package of odds for the most anticipated boxing match of the year! Ricky Hatton takes on Manny Pacquiao in probably the best light-welterweight fight I'll see in my lifetime. There is a lot of pressure on both fighters as they each carry their respective countries pride on their backs. Hatton's army are going to be out in full force in Las Vegas and the bookies are expecting a lot of action on the longer-odds Hatton. Pacquiao is generally at 2/5 on every single site and Paddy Power is no different. They have Hatton listed at 7/4 and the draw available at 25/1. The bookies seem confident that the fight will go longer than 10 rounds and we could very well see this one go the distance. Over 9.5 rounds pays out at 8/13 with under 9.5 paying 6/5. The big money is in the round betting, as is the usual scenario with boxing wagering, and I'm not really 100% that we'll see a KO or TKO victory. Pacquiao's odds sit at anywhere from 33/1 for the 1st round to 14/1 for rounds 5-10. Hatton's odds are 50/1 in the 1st down to 33/1 from rounds 3-9. Interestingly enough, you see Ricky's odds begin to creep up significantly with Round 10 listed at 35/1, round 11 listed at 40/1 and round 12 available at 50/1. If you are convinced that this one will end by KO, TKO or an unlikely DQ you can back groups of rounds instead of calling them individually. In this case, rounds 1-3 for Hatton pay 16/1, rounds 4-6 pay 14/1, rounds 7-9 pay 14/1 and rounds 10-12 pay 16/1. A Hatton victory on points or decision pays 11/2 and a KO/TKO pays 10/3. A Pacquiao victory by KO/TKO pays 5/4 with points or a decision at 9/4.PREDICTIONHatton on points.
