Pacquiao vs Hatton odds — Can Hatton reinvent himself successfully?
Finally, the biggest fight in boxing odds this year is here. Well, almost; it’s just days—hours away as the Pacquiao vs Hatton odds arrive this Saturday night. Manny Pacquiao (48-3-2) is looking to add another huge accomplishment to his illustrious boxing betting career, having beaten the mighty Erik Morales and Oscar De La Hoya, among many other greats, in the past. Coming off a knockout win over De La Hoya, he has the momentum and is a justified -280 favorite.
The Hatton odds of +220 reflect those of a great fighter who has suffered a major career setback and must prove to those betting online that he can still be great. Hatton (45-1) was crushed and depressed for months after suffering his first career loss against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and it remains to be seen how he’ll bounce back from not just his first loss, but his first time being knocked out. What we do know is that he’s preparing to change his approach entering these boxing odds. He’s training with Floyd Mayweather Sr. and working on his defense. Traditionally a furious, aggressive fighter, Hatton may be more tentative in this fight, but can you teach an old dog new tricks? Will Hatton throw himself off by leaving his comfort zone?
Even if Hatton’s new strategy works, he’s in tough against Pacquiao. The Filipino warrior has maintained speed and power while winning belts in an astounding five different weight classes. His power exceeds Mayweather Jr.’s, so Hatton will have to keep that chin tucked in to avoid being dropped. In the end, the smart play is to bet on Manny Pacquiao. He’s faster, just as powerful and, more importantly, in a much better place mentally than Hatton right now. If Pacquiao wins, you can bet at the sportsbook that Mayweather Jr. will come out of retirement for the fight of the decade.
Betting online pick: Manny Pacquiao -280
