LAS VEGAS, Nevada—For bettors, chances are almost nil that Mexican champion Juan Manuel Marquez will knock out Filipino challenger Manny Pacquiao in the first round of their World Boxing Council Super featherwight title bout on Saturday.

As of Friday evening, a $100 bet on such occurrence would return a hefty $4,200.

A first round knockout by Pacquiao, on the other hand, would net just $1,800 for every $100 wager.

History plays a part in the stacking of odds: Pacquiao downed Marquez three times in the opening round of their first meeting on May 8,2004 that eventually ended in a draw.

Pacquiao is listed a heavy favorite for this rematch at -235 and Marquez is at +195. Simply put a $235 bet on Pacquiao would just net $100 while a $100 wager on Marquez would give $195.

Pacquiao’s reputation as a power puncher is also evident with odds of him scoring a knockout listed at 77 percent.

Bettors think there will be a stoppage this time, with a $165 bet returning just $100.
