Thoughts: Well, that was a damn mouthful. Is there anything in there actually worthwhile?
Probably Pacquiao by decision at +119. Horn’s been dropped before and I do think Pacquiao has a decent chance of stopping him, but “Pac-Man” hasn’t knocked out anyone since 2009. Indeed, he has either gone the distance or lost by knockout in 12 consecutive fights and Horn -- a legitimate Welterweight — is bigger than anyone Pacquiao’s ever finished.
As long as you think Pacquiao’s chances of knocking out Horn are 50 percent or worse, banking on the decision seems wise. And if he does wind up starching him, well, you got a Pacquiao knockout to soothe your aching heart.
It won’t do anything for your aching wallet, of course, but them’s the breaks.
