Boxing Betting - Pac-Man Battles Cotto
Two explosivewarriors willdo battleSaturday night as Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto face off for the World Welterweight Championship. Manny Pacquiao, boxing’s pound-for-pound king, is on a quest to be included among the greatest of all-time.
World Champion Miguel Cotto is determined to keep his belt, and use his bone-crushing power to topple the sport’s top fighter at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday. If you bet on boxing, this fight is one not to miss!
Pacquiao has lost just three times with two draws in his 54 fight career,however, none of those results are being mentioned as significantentering hisfight with Cotto.
Afterbashing Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton in his past two fights, Pacquiao’s popularity has grown around the world, especially in his home country. With his homeland of the Philippines recently ravaged by natural disasters, he has morphed from a source of pride to a symbol of hope, and taken on a status ofsuperstar proportions.
It is not just fight week or fight month in the Philippines; this is fight season. Ever since Pacquiao vs. Cotto was announced in the summer, the excitement has been building. Sports betting fans around the boxing world are now counting down the hours until these two step into the ring.
Cotto's last outing resulted in a points decision victory over Joshua Clottey, and the win was unconvincing. Hewas sluggish at times and did not look to be mentally into the fight. And if anyone is going to expose mental frailties or slowness of thought it will be Pacquiao and his up-tempo, high-pressure game plan.
BetUS favors Pac-Man at -300 withCotto owning underdog value at +220. This will be a dynamic fight and if you are looking for value,Cotto is a very lively dog. Be sure to check out all the prop wagers available for this blockbuster venue.
