This seems like a great play. Laying a bit of chalk for Pac to win by KO/TKO. I don't see Margarito winning to be honest, and I hella don't see it going to a decision.

It is going to be tough to drop Margarito. I expect for Margarito to take a page from clottey's fight and cover before exchanging. I expect this to go the distance. The only one I see that can go down here is the Pac Man. If he gets caught he is going down.Comment -
where do you see -137? most books im seeing is on the -200ish or -170ish?Comment -
mah bad! i checked pinny and huge line comparison from other books. Im really seeing this fightto go into a decision.Comment -
I have Pacman winning but Margarito looks like he's in fantastic shape and we all know he can take a shot. He took a ridiculous amount of power shots before being KO'd by Mosley.
And Margarito has that Aztec Warrior, never give up mentality.
I see Pacman winning via 10th round TKO, but it wouldn't surprise me Margarito was able to grind it out to a Dec Loss.Comment -
i don`t like manny...i suspect he`s on something(don`t want to argue my position..just my opinion)...that said,after watching margarito vs mosely(the only fight we can be sure his hands weren`t cinderblocked),the speed difference here(hand and foot) will be scary......moseley was practically pitching a shutout....and contrary to popular opinion,shane is a pocket fighter...not a slickster...
margarito`s a plodder...in most fights he takes much punishment....maybe we saw the accumulation of that punishment start to take it`s toll vs moseley(who hasn`t exactly been burning up the ring of late).....
but i agree.....if all reports are correct,manny`s been distracted...couldn`t lay those odds...i would hedge this fight...
i was looking at margarito`s record...and i don`t see many really quick opponents...most of his opponents stay in the pocket...cotto used some movement and did well early....but those blocks wore him down...
interesting that his last 2 losses were to lefties(williams and daniel santos...different body types than pacquaio,though)...
looking at some props...and waiting for the weigh-in photos..Comment -
Pac wins, period. Margarito is too slow, has fought once in the past two years (against a journeyman), and will be weight-drained during the fight. He's been shredded for the last 4-5 weeks and looked like he peaked awhile ago. I see a Pacquiao decision but who knows, he may stop Margarito late.Comment -
I really think Margarito will quit on his stool or get TKOed by the 9th-10th round. Pac is too fast for him. If Margarito thinks he will overpower Pac then he is in for a rough beating. Manny's size is really deceptive wherein Margarito will think he is the stronger fighter just because Pacquiao is small. We all know how hard Manny can hit but then again Margarito is one tough SOB who can take as much punishment as he can deal. Margarito has a puncher's chance in winning this IMO.
I'm from the Philippines but I am not biased. Lost a shitload against Pac when I went huge on DLH with my friends. But I've seen what Manny can do and I think only Mayweather can have a legitimate chance at stopping him right now.
This fight will look like a longer Pacquiao vs. Hatton. Margarito will be totally outclassed.Comment -
Pac by decision is +300 at Bet Phoenix.Comment
