Fight fans will be treated to one of the most exciting boxing betting bouts of the year this Saturday, as Manny Pacquiao will put his Welterweight championship on the line against Shane Mosley. Pacquiao is a -800 favorite in the highly-anticipated fight, while Mosley checks in as a +500 underdog.

Bet on the boxing classic with Bodog.

Pacquiao, of course, is one of the greatest fighters of his generation. The 32-year-old Filipino owns a fantastic 52-3-2 record, including 38 victories by knockout. Pacquiao hasn’t lost a fight since 2005, when he lost a unanimous decision to Erik Morales. Since then, he’s won 13 consecutive fights.

Mosley, 39 years old and another living legend, is a former champion himself. He owns a 46-6-1-1 record, including 39 victories via knockout. Age has caught up to the American, however, and he has two losses and a draw in his last five fights. Mosley hasn’t tasted victory since January 2009, when he topped Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a unanimous decision.

Most pundits are expecting Mosley to come out hard and aggressive, so Pacquiao is expected to keep his distance early in the fight. Once Mosley settles down, Pacquiao will try picking apart Mosley. He’s definitely the faster fighter of the two, so the longer this fight goes—and the more tired the older Mosley gets—the more it favors Pacquiao.

Mosley has the usual “puncher’s chance” to win the bout, but he’s also a very smart fighter, and fans shouldn’t be too quick to count him out. Yes, his declining fitness and speed are concerns, but Mosley is certainly clever enough to pick Pacquiao apart—whether or not his body allows him to is another question.
