Pacquiao-Bradley Betting Analysis
Pacquiao is the number 2 pound for pound fighter in the world, and the number 2 guy at 147 lbs – and he has a claim to the top spot on both lists, although we disagree. Bradley, meanwhile, comes in with top-10 caliber pound for pound credentials, an undefeated record and a rating as the best junior welterweight in the world.
As opposed to many recent Pacquiao opponents, Bradley is young and in his prime, and he doesn’t know how to lose. So there’s a lot working in his favor here, especially if you give any credence to the theory that Pacquiao is beginning to wear down.
Through a combination of mental fatigue, a lack of concentration and preparation, and a body which has finally been pushed to the brink, Pacquiao perhaps is more ripe for the picking here, against Bradley, than ever before.
Therefore, taking a shot at Bradley with 3 to 1 or 3.5 to 1 odds isn’t bad. Of course, you’re betting against Pacquiao, and that’s been a tactic that would have lost you a great deal of money over the past decade. Not only that, but Bradley likely doesn’t have the power to be a knockout threat against Manny, and while speedy, he doesn’t have the blazing speed of say, Floyd Mayweather, or the precision counter-punching of say, Juan Manuel Marquez.
It’s an uphill road for Bradley, but with favorable odds, it may be something that you’re interested in making an investment in.
Also, consider that even in what seems like a winning effort, it will be hard for Pacquiao to look good against the workmanlike Bradley. Will the judges be swayed by Bradley’s pressure? Will his constant presence in Pacquiao’s face and in clinches tire the Pacman out? Just a few more questions to consider.
However you feel, you can use the Pacquiao vs. Bradley betting odds here to put your money where your mouth is and see how it turns out on fight night between these two great fighters.
