Pacquiao huge favorite in Las Vegas vs VargasThe odds are out for the Nov. 5 world welterweight war between Sen. Manny Pacquiao and Jessie Vargas and the numbers are staggering in the Filipino’s favor. Three weeks before the two fighters formally announce their scheduled 12-round duel at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Pacquiao was listed as -1000 ($1,000 wager wins $100) and Vargas +550 ($100 bet wins $550). Meanwhile, Vargas insists he has mastered fighting left-handers through the years that Pacquiao won’t be like no other southpaw he has faced and beaten. In racking up a 27-1-0 win-loss-draw record with ten KOs, Vargas maintains that he is not bothered by lefties as he looks forward to an eye-popping win. Fighting out of Las Vegas, the 27-year-old Vargas has kicked off training under a new tactician in Dewey Cooper, a former Muay and MMA fighter.
