Pacquiao vs. Bradley Odds: Smartest Wagers for Pac-Man vs. Desert Storm Clash

The smart money will be on Manny Pacquiao to beat Timothy Bradley on Saturday night, but how boring is it to simply throw down on a Pac-Man win?

No fun, that's how much.

So for those of you who like a bit of danger with your morning coffee, I've compiled three bets from Bovada that may not be the smartest on paper but could offer a lot in return without being blind, stupid wagers.

Take a walk on the wild side.

Under 9.5 Rounds (+190)

I have a feeling Timothy Bradley is going to come out ready to brawl in this one, which might be interesting if he doesn't forget to defend himself and is an effective counterpuncher.

But if he blindly goes on the offensive, I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see Pacquiao knock him out.

A knockout in a primetime fight like this one would be refreshing. Betting on it happening could be a smart gamble.

Manny Pacquiao by KO, TKO or DQ (+175)

See above.

Betting on Pacquiao straight-up or to pull off the decision aren't really worth your time, at least not in my opinion. If you believe Pacquiao has a clear advantage, roll the dice a little bit on an early finish.

Timothy Bradley by Decision or Technical Decision (+500)

Yeah, it's incredibly risky, I know. But it is possible.

Bradley knows he'll be the sport's next superstar if he can pull of an upset, and few people thinks he has a chance in this one, so he should approach this fight with little to lose. That means he'll be loose, aggressive and could take Pac-Man by surprise.

I'm not telling you I think Bradley will win this fight. I'm telling you that if you are inclined to believe an upset is in the works and you've done your research, I don't think you are crazy and you shouldn't shy away from putting your money where your mouth is.
