Pacquiao v Ricky Hatton Free Bets
The MGM Grand casino is the venue on Saturday 2 May for the IBO-Light Welterweight title fight between Ricky 'The Hitman' Hatton and Manny 'Pac-man' Pacquiao. The winner will not only win the coveted title but will also be recognised as the world's best pound-for-pound fighter. In anticipation of what should be an explosive fight, Betfair are giving away up to £25 of free bets.

Ricky Hatton returns to the scene of his only defeat of his professional career, when he lost to Floyd Mayweather back in December 2007. After being trained by Mayweather's father, Hatton returned to the MGM Grand to fight Paulie Malignaggi in November 08 and fought a brilliant fight that saw him win by TKO. Hatton's record of 45 wins from 46 bouts, 32 of which have come by way of knockout is impressive, and he should be in with a good chance of victory especially when you take into consideration he has never lost as this weight division.

Manny Pacquiao is regarded as the best pound-for-pound boxer in thw world and should be Hatton's stearnest test yet. The 30-year old Filipino's Southpaw style has seen him emerge victorious in 48 of his 53 fights, knocking out 36 opponents on his way. Pacquiao was the first Filipino and Asian fighter to win four world titles at four different weights and will go into this fight as an odds on favourite.

Many think that Pacquiao will be too fast for Hatton, who has shown signs of slowing down in recent years but Hatton says he is still in great shape and confident his can knockout his opponent. If you think Hatton can indeed win this epic battle than why not take advantage of the £25 free bet offer from our leading partner Betfair? Free bets can be placed, at market leading odds on whether the fight will go the distance, how will the fight be won, which round will the fight end and who will be crowned the pound-for-pound King to name just a few of the available free bet markets
