Through the years, oddsmakers have devised new and different ways for people to wager on pugilism, including over-unders, KO propositions, and round betting. Of course, one of the reasons could be that the sport was essentially created for the purposes of betting, and indeed, the revenues generated from early fights (going back to the bare-knuckle era) came chiefly through the volume in betting “action.” It can be argued that there is no better sport to bet on than boxing, or more to the point, no sport that lends itself to betting quite like boxing does.
