Let's say Manny wins in a decision and the average is 9 rounds to 3.  In one of those rounds he knocks Clottey down and has a 108 round.  That should make the scores 117-110.  That score times 3 is only Paq by 21 points. 

I think Clottey can win 3 rounds tonight.

Thoughts?

I dunno man. I think Clottey is going out early. He says he's bringing the fight from the opening bell...not good.

McNulty I respect your capping bro but I disagree here. Maybe I am reading this wrong but I don't think Kelly Pavlik could knock out Clottey. I am not even sure if the Klitschko's could! This guy to me has a cast iron jaw..I think he makes the bell at the end of the 12th...

This is on Bodog and... get this... ANY KO is also a winner. 

If you think Clottey is more dangerous than most, like I do, then I believe this may be an excellent play. 

Here is the exact specs on the play from Bodog:

Any KO is a winner, combined scores on all 3 judges scorecards at bout completion. 
    All wagers have action.
    Manny Pacquiao
    -26½ (-120)
    Joshua Clottey
    +26½ (-120)
    Am I missing something or is this a good play on Clottey?

      If I had a BoDog acct., I would play it. I'm still sitting here running round scenarios, but like you say, the kicker is any knockout is a winner. It's hard to win rounds against PacMan with his business, but he is also facing a much bigger opponent, and might be feeling him out a little. I think the early rounds being active by Clottey make this bet pretty valuable. Good luck.

      I love this play.  If Pac somehow knocks him out, I win.  If Clottey can win 2 rounds, I win.  The only way I lose is if Pac wins 11 or all 12 rounds and the fight goes the distance. 

      I have seen Clottey 6 times and feel that if he fights his best, he can win the 2 rounds.

      I'm IN rather large on this play.

      NO you got it wrong buddy... You get the points handicap and clottey can KO   Pac-man  but if Pac-man KO's Clottey you LOSE


      Don't be fooled... any KO is a winner if the guy you HAVE knocks the other guy out.

      You truly think you are getting 26.5 points.. a chance for Clottey to knock him and, and Clottey can get knocked out and you win for -125? LOL!

      Please know this any ko means  just that the POINTS don't matter on the scorecard... because "you get a KO".

      You don't get paid for having clottey and manny knocking him out.

      Sorry had to chime in here because I'm a prop bettor and I know this isn't the rules.

      PLEASE CALL WHATEVER BOOK YOU HAVE  BEFORE MAKING THIS BET!!!!! YOU'RE WRONG IF MANNY KO'S CLOTTEY YOU LOSE!

      Please would hate for you to lose a ton of money thinking you have a winner... based on inaccurate information.

      Mark my words if Manny KO's HIM you LOSE, confirm this on the phone with your book (whatever) you use.


      Please be clear with them, and ask them "If Pacquio stops him do I win" ?

      Thanks, nutty.  Thta does make more sense but... the wording is not very clear.  I will confirm and appreciate you reaching out.

      I still like the play as I think Clottey goes the distance and can win 2 rounds.

      NO problem.. it is confusing.. if you feel Clottey doesn't get knocked out.. that is an EXCELLENT bet :)

      Just would hate for you to unload big money and say Manny does KO HIM.. and you say YES I WON! Check your account and it's graded as a loss... it's a bad feeling.

      Good luck buddy!

      Maybe its any KO, meaning TKO or KO, but by Clottey. Nutty's right, it's too good to be true.

      NO prob.. I don't trust this fight I may put $10 on Clottey to win by KO at +1124.

      Good Luck,

      I don't think that's a bad play at all.  Clottey has a granite chin and it may turn into a slugfest.  Ya never know... we are due for another Buster Douglas.
