Manny v Marquez betting

11 November 2011

Just had a look around and Paddy Power are still offering a matched bet of £50 which makes the Manny odds look even better (double in fact!)

Anyway the odds:

Boxing Match Betting
Manny Pacquiao
1/12
Draw
33/1
Juan Manuel Marquez
7/1

For me the value bet though is:

Total Rounds
Under 9.5
evens
Over 9.5
8/11

Manny to get him out in under 9 rounds.

£50 bet (+free £50 bet) gets you a £150 return.

Thats good value - anyone intending on betting on it or even watching?

I shall certainly be watching. Although i feel Manny is the ultimate fighter, i have sneaky feeling Marquez owes him one and may take it on points in an all out war. Manny is a far better fighter than in prevoius fights with Marquez but i still have that niggling feeling?

Going on his previous form re Marquez this could be a difficult fight for Manny. However, I agree with LOGIE that he is a far better fighter now and thus I expect him to win.

The problem I have with Manny is that I keep having visions of his pre Roach days and getting flashbacks of him being beaten up by those Thai guys, etc. Like LOGIE I tend to get a niggling feeling about him, especially when he goes in against guys like Marquez.

Cheers mate. I just bookmarked boxing guru on my laptop and go back to it for big fights. But alas, it appears to have been seized!
