Boxing Betting
"The Sweet Science" of boxing has been a major spectator and betting sport since the mid 1800's. The sport really began to take off when The Marquess of Queensbury rules were drafted in 1867, and the rules of modern boxing can be directly traced back to this effort. The top boxers in history are among the most famous names in all of sport: Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Jack Johnson, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Marciano and countless others. The reigning 'pound for pound' king is Manny Pacquiao, who'll be facing a stern challenge from Floyd Mayweather, Jr. who recently announced his return to action from retirement. Along with thoroughbred horse racing, there may not be a sport that has been more inextricably linked with betting throughout its history than boxing and it continues to offer attractive value propositions for serious handicappers as well as great entertainment value for recreational players.
