Good video. I give it a 2 to 1 edge for Pacquiao. 6 to 1 is retarded- but maybe that number was generated because people learned not to bet against manny.
i think its more like 3-1, 4-1 tops, 6-1 is just stupid, for a guy thats never fought at junior middleweight.
I don't see that at all.. Since when has Pacquiao not given us exactly what we wanted to see? He would never just take a win the easy way.. he's gonna challenge margarito, at one point he's gonna stop his movement and dare margarito to show him all he's got.
Just watch the 11th round vs clottey- Pacquiao won every single round but he still was going for the knockout, and giving the other fighter a chance when all he had to do was cruise and run. Same thing with Cotto, Same thing with Barrera, Same thing with De la Hoya
You may have a point. It's what he SHOULD do. I'll be really impressed if Pac stands there and let's Marg get some free shots in. But I guess we'll see. De La Hoya was so stiff that night he was basically hitting air. Don't think he really let De La Hoya cleanly hit on purpose anyways. Pac just beat the snot out of an immobile Oscar. Pac only let Cotto take a few free body shots at him when he had the fight beaten to all hell out of him. Barrera...well knowing what we know about Pac now...don't think he had too much of a chance to truly hurt Pac anyways. And Clottey...well F Clottey. Never seen a guy try so hard to preserve himself in such a high profile fight. Against a naturally much smaller man too. Margarito will be the strongest puncher he's faced (barring all the hand cast jokes).
Of course all of it is irrelevant if Margarito just proves himself way too slow to catch Pac at any point.
I agree with him. Love Pacquiao but the common fan underestimating Margarito based on his last performance (which I think should really be nearly discounted) and getting caught up in Pacfever leads to a line that is kinda baffling considering that it really wasn't that long ago when Roach himself said he didn't want to put Pac in there with Margarito because of the size difference. Styles make fights and though Pac is a better fighter than Mosley, he doesn't have the strength and one punch brawling power that Mosley has. At least not at welterweight.
I think Pac will just blaze in and out strafing Margarito with his ridiculous combos and darting out of danger for most of the fight...winning a fairly comfortable decision or possibly wearing him down from volume of punches into a TKO win. But I wouldn't be shocked at all if Margarito makes him as uncomfortable at several points in the fight as he's been in quite awhile with his pressure and power.
