Bet on Amir Khan: 2.75
Amir Khan has been one of the faces of UK boxing over the years, but is taking on arguably the toughest test of his career against Pacquiao. Khan’s most recent fight came in May of 2016 when he took a step up in competition to take on Canelo Alvarez. The size disadvantage was apparent here, and despite winning some rounds in the early portion of the fight, Khan was KO’d late in the 6th.
That knockout loss prompted many critics to insist Khan can’t take a punch, but Canelo is one of the biggest hitters south of 165 pounds, and can put anyone away if he lands. Manny Pacquiao can certainly hit hard, but hasn’t finished an opponent since 2009, which may help Khan’s odds to win.
For a variety of reasons, Amir Khan is a serious betting underdog heading into this fight. NetBet Sportsbook lists his odds to beat Pacquiao at 2.75. Many boxing betting experts feel his best chance to made UK gambling news by getting the win is by using his reach on the outside, but that’s easier said than done against one of the fastest boxers of all time.
Anyone looking to bet on Manny Pacquiao vs. Amir Khan will need to take a few things into account. Pacquiao is the much older fighter, and it seems inevitable that he will slow down eventually.
