Manny Pacquiao seems to defend his WBO welterweight crown by entering enemy territory and carrying on undefeated Australian Jeff Horn. Many are questioning the decision process for”Pac-Man” in this , since he’s among the greatest names in boxing and holds the gold but decided to go to a younger, gifted boxer’s home country to carry him on.
Despite this, Pacquiao is a strong -600 favorite with Horn coming back in +400 according to Bovada.
Pacquiao proved in his fight with Jessie Vargas he still has lots of quickness despite his advancing age. If you couple that rate with an excellent struggle IQ, you can see why Pacquiao can still predominate over a branch. But age has zapped a number of his punching power and he’s become much more measured with his aggressive style.
“The Hornet” is the most effective pound-for-pound boxer from Australia right now, as the former Olympian is 16-0-1 with 11 knockouts. Horn is a tall, long fighter who uses technical acumen more than athleticism. Though Horn is unquestionably a fantastic fighter, this is a significant step up in competition for the Aussie with the biggest wins of his career coming against the aging Randall Bailey and Ali Funeka.
Pacquiao should win this battle, but don’t be in shock if Horn brings out the victory. Pacquiao has stacked the deck against himself in this one and is in classic mad territory.
