Boxing Betting
Unless someone like Floyd Mayweather or if another big name fighter is on the boxing betting card, gamblers don’t look to make a boxing bet. Boxing betting actually can give gamblers some good opportunities to make money. There are boxing matches and boxing betting odds available on many fights throughout the year, not just on the marquee fights.
Boxing betting odds will be available at sportsbooks nearly every month of the year. There will be fights in a wide variety of weight classes and for many different titles. These different boxing betting options give gamblers around the world many chances to make money when placing a boxing bet.
Boxing betting is done on a money line basis. This means you are wagering on one boxer against the other. The money line boxing bet is similar to what you will find in baseball and hockey. For example, you might have one boxer listed at -200 on the boxing betting odds board with the other boxer listed at boxing betting odds of +160. This means you wager $200 to win $100 on the favorite or the 2-1 equivalent or you get back $160 for every $100 wagered on the underdog or the 1.6-1 equivalent.
Another boxing betting option that is offered on many fights is the round option. You can wager on whether or not the fight goes the full number of rounds listed on the boxing betting odds. Usually the sportsbook will put up something like 10.5 on rounds or if they are expecting a quick knockout you could see 3.5 rounds. These round boxing betting options are just another way to enhance your wagering as you make a boxing bet.
Take a look at the various boxing options you have during each month of the year. You will find a lot of great opportunities to make money. There may be fights from other countries that offer you good wagering choices. You may find good information on a fight that is not as well publicized. These fights can be great chances to make money as you look to bet on boxing at sportsbooks this year.

Pros vs. Joes: Professional Boxers Allowed at Olympics
The boxing betting terms ‘favorite’ and ‘underdog’ may take a whole new meaning at the Rio Summer Olympic Games in August. The International Boxing Association (AIBA) has voted to let any boxer who wants to try and qualify and get selected for their respective national teams next month. AIBA has been criticized by the likes of Oscar de la Hoya and Mike Tyson for attempting to mix apples and oranges. Golden Boy and Iron Mike, voices of reason – how do you like them apples? Manny Pacquiao was set to compete in Rio but ultimately preferred to focus on the political ring, after having been elected a Philippine senator. Good call, Manny. Even his manager thought it was an ill-advised idea.
Canelo-Golovkin Negotiations Not Dead But Zombie-like
Last week fans who bet on boxing were disappointed by the news that Saul Canelo Alvarez vacated the WBC Middleweight Title – which was immediately awarded to Gennady Golovkin – in order to avoid “artificial deadlines.” The World Boxing Council had decreed that a championship fight between Alvarez and the mandatory No. 1 contender GGG must be settled on by both parties involved within a fortnight, or else – to which Canelo basically said to take your belt and shove it (rumors that he didn’t know what the word fortnight means have not been confirmed). Recent developments have made the boxing betting mega-fight even more unlikely in the near future.
Canelo Alvarez Officially Vacates WBC Middleweight Title
Fans who bet on boxing will have to wait longer than the vaunted “15 days” to see Saul ‘Canelo Alvarez’-Gennady Golovkin fight. The Mexican redhead has officially vacated the WBC middleweight championship in order to avoid quote-unquote artificial deadlines – methinks it’s something else he’s trying to avoid. The World Boxing Council had decreed a 15-day period for Golden Boy Promotions to finalize a unification bout with GGG. With this new development, the mandatory challenger and interim champ Triple G becomes the new and undisputed title-holder. It appears as if Canelo’s whiteness is not the only trait he shares with paper.
VR simulation predicts outcome of Floyd-Conor match
Some people say boxing betting odds would favor Floyd Mayweather while UFC betting odds would favor Conor McGregor, depending on whether their vaunted fight were to take place in a boxing ring or a MMA octagon. Most people who still have a shred of connection with this plane of reality agree that the match is never going to happen, regardless of how much the two would-be opponents run their mouths. Someone, however, has imagined a third alternative scenario in which Money would beat The Notorious One with a single punch. And the best part is, it’s as realistic as it gets and probably the closest we’ll ever get to see the two lock up.
Big Boxing Match Could Be a Knockout
The good news for fans of boxing betting is that the fight that they really want to see actually can happen without having to wait until they grow too old to enjoy it. The date would be September 17 but do not make ticket-buying plans yet. This is boxing and there have been a lot of good fights that should have but never happened. Even so, Canelo Alvarez says he wants it. Gennady Golovkin also says he wants it. Two big hitters with a loss between the two for all the middleweight titles that they can bring to the ring.
Canelo knocks Khan into middle of next week, is GGG next?
Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez lived up to his status as boxing odds favorite and not only knocked out Amir Khan to retain his WBC middleweight title. Khan put on the weight that would qualify him challenge Alvarez for the strap, but the outcome was anything but unpredictable. Khan shouldn’t even have been in the ring in the first place; the real challenger was looking on from ringside. Gennady Golovkin has dominated the middleweight division for years with 32 knockouts in 35 career professional bouts. He holds the highest KO percentage in the history of the division. Triple G might be the most dangerous boxer right now and no one wants to step in the ring with him. A Golovkin vs. Alvarez fight is what fans want and what boxing needs but that doesn’t mean it’s a given.
