Super middleweight king Canelo Alvarez ready for Saunders test in Texas

Posted on May 6, 2021 by A. J. Riot

Pound for pound, no boxer is currently more highly rated in the fight game than Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Nevertheless, on Saturday he faces arguably one of the toughest bouts of his illustrious career. Billy Joe Saunders will be a hugely difficult opponent, in a contest that has three of the four major super middleweight belts up for grabs.

For anyone looking to bet on the Saul Alvarez v Billy Joe Saunders fight, the latest 3/25 pre-fight odds are strongly in favor of the Mexican. Meanwhile, the undefeated British boxer is being priced as a 5/1 shot, which points towards a potential upset if he emerges victorious. Whatever the outcome, this certainly promises to be an enthralling contest between two great boxers.

This fight is the latest for Alvarez in his quest to become the undisputed super middleweight champion. He currently holds the WBA, WBC, and Ring Magazine title belts in this division. If he can beat current WBO champion Saunders, the 31-year-old Mexican will then go after the IBF title, held by American boxer Callum Smith.

Could We See Francis Ngannou Vs Dillian Whyte After Both Recorded Spectacular Wins?

Posted on March 31, 2021 by A. J. Riot

There was growing speculation in 2020 that fight fans would be treated to a sensational showdown between Francis Ngannou and Dillian Whyte after the two got into a war of words. Indeed, once again, giants from the octagon and boxing ring would come together to shake the very ground we stand on. To those that are on the outside of fighting circles, there may be some confusion as people try to make out what the difference is between MMA and boxing, and why this would be such a unique event?

They may seem like similar sports on paper, but at the same time, they are also worlds apart. It’s a bit like baseball and cricket, badminton and tennis. Perhaps the best example is that of the NFL and AFL which seem alike and are often confused for being the same thing. But this article on how the two sports differ will give you a detailed breakdown of the crucial distinction and comparison between the American and Australian sports. Punters will notice that the gear the players wear is slightly different, similar to the main contrast of boxing and MMA.

In boxing, the gloves weigh 8-10 ounces whilst in MMA they register just 4-6 ounces. Additionally, the different shapes of the playing area is one of the key differences between the NFL and AFL, notably, that is the main distinction between boxing and MMA as well. In this instance, it’s unclear as to where the fight would take place, either the eight-sided octagon or the four corners of the boxing the ring, either way, there is a strong desire to see it happen.

Indeed, the animosity between the two is still there, but interestingly, their career prospects have both dramatically increased after spectacular recent wins. Ngannou was able to brutally knock Stipe Miocic out to claim the UFC heavyweight championship of the world out. Meanwhile, Whyte avenged his initial loss to Alexander Povetkin in just four rounds, setting up a showdown with current WBC champion Tyson Fury.

What a knockout! 💥

Looking Back At The Best Middleweight Boxers of All Time

Posted on August 7, 2020 by A. J. Riot

If you were to take all the boxers in the middleweight category and pitted them against each other, betting on your champ would be an exciting but tough challenge. As the standard male falls into the 160-lbs weight category, it is unsurprising that this is a weight division with a huge depth of talent.

Which of the greats in this weight bracket would demolish the field with their might? Here we run through some of the possibilities for the top spot, so you can begin to make your choice who to put your money on.

Stanley Ketchell

It is difficult to take different generations of boxers and compare them. Ketchell, in 1908, dispatched Sullivan as World Champion with an ease that few could have predicted. He then went on to floor the heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, which was billed as David against Goliath. This talented boxer was murdered in 2020 at the age of 24, so who knows what his potential would have been. Also, imagine if he had the input of today’s psychologist, physiotherapists and professional trainers! He would have been an unstoppable force!

Emile Griffin

Griffin spent a lot of his career in the welterweights, where he would have come in as the greatest of all time without a doubt. However, he also deserves to rank in the greats of the middleweights, as he was the first native of the US Virgin Islands to take the world title. While you might look at his record and think it is nothing special, it is because he carried on fighting way too long. He cemented his talent and skill by becoming a world-class training, helping to train Wilfred Benitez and Juan LaPorte.

Dick Tiger

Born in Nigeria but an immigrant to Liverpool, England, Dick Tiger beat Fullmer to win the world title, retaining the title three times in meetings with this classy boxer. In the third match-up, Tiger knocked Fullmer out. He has made many lists for the best boxer in any category, so deserves a high place in the greats of the middleweights. Keep Reading

Boxing Betting- The Ultimate Form of Entertainment

Posted on June 1, 2020 by A. J. Riot

Betting has always been an integral part of the game of boxing. In the first half of the 20th century, the sport was manipulated by many shady characters in the criminal world. Match-fixing and betting scandals were a common phenomenon attached to this sport. Match-fixing is a rare occurrence nowadays, but still rears it’s ugly head from time to time. The match between Paul Briggs vs. Danny Green in July 2011 is such an example. Betting on boxing was always present, and it will be in the future. You will find many websites and blogs providing information and tips about how to bet on boxing. Understand how to bet on boxing, types of boxing bets, and in which online sports betting website to place your stake.

How to bet on boxing

There are different boxing betting markets available in online sport betting websites. You will find relevant information about the fighters on those websites before a major event. You will also find other possible range of bets on the specific fight. Straight picks is the simplest form of betting, where you have to select a fighter who is supposed to win. You will find this kind of bet on any premier sport betting websites like ufabet. For each fight, there is always a favored fighter and an underdog. Most bettors stake for the favorite, so the payoff is less than the underdog.  If the odds of one fighter is +200 and odds of the opponent is -200, this implies the first fighter (+)  is the odds favorite. You need to bet $200 in order to get a return of $100 if you win. As for the underdog in this example, a bet of $100 gives you a return of $200 if he wins the match.

Odds do not always denote  who is the superior fighter, or how much possibility he has to win the match. Betting odds are to tempt wagers to place their bet. The bookmakers want to involve as many bettors as possible for both sides.
