Thoughts

I have to say, I'm a bit surprised that the odds favor Pacquiao to score a knockout. It's been a half-decade since he last felled an opponent inside the distance and Algieri showed impressive durability after a disastrous opening round against Ruslan Provodnikov.

Not to diminish Algieri's considerable skill, but I don't think his willingness to fight off the back foot is a good way to counteract Pacquiao's tornado of offense. Even the limited Provodnikov managed to land heavy shots on him despite not managing to drag him into a brawl.

There's also the issue of Algieri's very limited power, which further limits his chances of blunting Pacquiao's onslaught.

I ordinarily advise against picking the method, but I am confident in Pacquiao's victory and cognizant of the fact that he's unlikely to put away Algieri with one shot or wear him down, especially since "The King of New York" demonstrated his mental fortitude by fighting through a destroyed eye against Provodnikov.

Pacquiao by decision is both my prediction and recommended avenue of betting at the generous odds of +170.
