ODDSMAKERS are undeterred by Filipino super bantamweight champion Manny Pacquiao’s hunger for international recognition when he takes on the world’s top featherweight boxer Marco Antonio Barrera on Saturday.
Five days into their much-publicized bout for the “people’s featherweight championship”, Pacquiao is still a 4-1 underdog.
Pacquiao, however, relishes the role and vows to give Barrera the bout of his life.
A slugger with power in both mitts, he goes up against a brawler turned sweet puncher in Barrera–who totes an impressive 51-3 win-loss record, 40 of those wins coming in by way of knockout.
