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.

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.
Conor could take Floyd to a Decision, Joe Rogan Says
Conor McGregor has good – not great – sports betting odds of taking Floyd Mayweather to a decision in a boxing ring, said Joe Rogan. According to the podcaster, sports commentator, and stand-up comedian, Mayweather is older his punches not what they used to be. If they were to fight in MMA, Conor McGregor would “{expletive deleted} (Mayweather) up”, but in a boxing match, Mayweather would {expletive deleted} (McGregor) up.” Regardless of the fact that Floyd is not a “murderous puncher” like Canelo Alvarez or Gennady Golovkin, and that once you turn 39 you never know, Rogan thinks Mayweather is one the greatest boxers of all time.
Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather: Fact or Fantasy?
Conor McGregor versus Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather would be the biggest inter-promotional fight since Thunderlips versus Rocky Balboa – or Mayweather versus The Big Show, if you want to keep things somewhat in the real world. It would be so big in fact that it would probably “break the Internet” – as kids are fond of saying these days – if it were to happen (or at least the part of the Internet town where UFC and boxing odds sportsbooks operate). It sounds almost too good to be true, which would suggest that it is not.
The wrath of Khan vs… Cinnamon Boy? The Ginger Wonder?
Going by nicknames alone, Amir King Khan would be the odds-on favorite versus Saul Canelo Álvarez, if you bet on boxing on Saturday 7th. For you monolinguals out there, Canelo in Spanish is the masculine word for cinnamon, on account of his red hair.

Gennady Golovkin: Meet the New Boxing Odds-on Favorite
If you bet on boxing, then bet on Gennady Golovkin. He is a certified G and a bona fide stud, and you can't teach that. In fact he is a Triple G – or GGG. Where does that third G come from? Gee, I don’t know. He just comes up with extra letters out of hammerspace. That’s just how badass he is. Golovkin has knocked out 21 dudes in a row – enough to make a montage set to a Survivor song. He is 34-0 and only two guys have lasted more than 8 rounds with him.
Pacquiao vs. Bradley III Odds Preview
