Boxing is one of the oldest forms of pugilistic contests in the world and is found in various forms throughout the world. For many, boxing is more than just a sport. Boxing is a science, a test of will and endurance, and a chance for ultimate glory. No wonder its appeal is magnetic and draws the viewer in until the final blow.
Boxing is often considered to be the more elegant and strategic of the martial arts sports, whereas the comparatively modern MMA variants tend to be more violent and explosive. This stark contrast between the two can also be seen in how long the fights last. Boxing bouts are usually 12 rounds (a key decision made after the Mancini/Kim fight), with each round lasting 3 minutes. By contrast, most MMA fights are scheduled for 3–5 rounds, each lasting 5 minutes with a 1-minute rest between each round.
That said, boxing and MMA enjoy a large crossover following, with fans enjoying a good wager on many major boxing promotions, while putting money on their fighter to win in virtually any of the MMA disciplines available at Betsafe. If you're new to the world of boxing, this easy bet on boxing primer will get you started in what many consider to be a rewarding and exciting sport to put money on. If you're already familiar with the odds MMA has to offer, you'll have no trouble adapting to betting on boxing odds since they follow very similar markets.
There are several new rules that have taken centre stage in the boxing world that will change the dynamics of the sport, including:
There are fights that made headlines in the sport, from the collision of rivals to bouts with totally different boxing personalities. Arguably the most prominent of them all, nicknamed 'The Fight of the Century' on 8 March 1971, was a clash between these two undefeated heavyweights, Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, that went the full 15 rounds, and the latter won by unanimous decision.
On 30 October 1974, 'The Rumble in the Jungle' was a bout between the underdog Muhammad Ali and the undefeated and undisputed heavyweight champion George Foreman, who was defeated by a thunderous knockout in the 8th round.
Nicknamed 'The Ear Bite,' a rematch between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield on 28 June 1997 was an aggressive fight. After his quick assault was managed by his opponent, Iron Mike bit Holyfield's ear twice, which disqualified him from the fight.
'The War' between Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns on 15 April 1985 was a brief but brutal duel. The bout was of unmatched intensity, and with his power and technique, he overcame and subdued Hearns' speed and reach, knocking him out in the 3rd round.
For the most part, odds for boxing are not all that different from those of other sports you'll find here at Betsafe. However, unlike team sports like football, basketball, baseball, or ice hockey, boxing is all about betting on the individual athlete. This factor will affect how some of the bet boxing markets work, which will be explained a little further down.
The dynamics of one-on-one contests can be extremely enthralling and intense, particularly when you've put real money down on your favourite to win. Another interesting aspect that is affected by this intimate kind of format is how the odds in boxing can be influenced by it. You'll often find that boxing odds tend to fall towards the higher end of the spectrum. This is especially true when the bout involves big names in boxing. In fact, the bigger the personality of the boxers and the livelier the pre-fight action is, the higher the odds tend to be, come fight night.
A noticeable disparity between odds on the favourite and the underdog is also fairly common, particularly if the matchup is perceived to be unbalanced. Boxing is also well known for surprise outcomes, and there have been plenty of historic upsets over the years.
While some sports tend to lend themselves more towards pre-match betting, and others towards live betting, boxing manages to satisfy in both areas equally well. The same can be said for our MMA and UFC fixtures as well. The main reason for this is that fight sports rely heavily on extensive build-up phases before the actual fight night occurs. Fight promoters spend a great deal of their time ramping up excitement levels in fans, which will eventually be converted into ticket sales, pay-per-view sales, and, of course, fantastic odds boxing.
Betsafe features plenty of pre-match betting coverage leading up to the actual event, and punters can take their pick from a range of interesting and lucrative boxing betting markets. This coverage flows seamlessly into the live or in-play platform, where markets can change rapidly depending on how events unfold. As we mentioned earlier, boxing can be extremely unpredictable, and, in most instances, anyone can win on the night.
What makes Betsafe the ultimate betting home of boxing is instant access to all of the dynamic markets and odds boxing can offer. Also, fans can keep up with every second of the fight thanks to our live-streaming coverage, which is also available via our mobile apps. Our cutting-edge apps leave nothing to chance and offer a full range of must-have betting services, including early cashout options, safe mobile banking, and access to 24/7 mobile support.
