A quick guide to the key boxing terms

In order to make good and strategic bets on boxing, it’s important for you to have an understanding of the key boxing terms. Here’s a quick guide to understanding commonly used boxing terms.

Orthodox stance

In boxing, an orthodox stance is a stance in which the boxer places their left foot in front of the right foot, thus having the weaker side closer to the opponent.

Southpaw stance

A southpaw stance is the one in which the boxer has their right hand and right foot forward, leading with right jabs, and following with a left cross right hook.

Weight class

There are 17 weight classes in boxing, including flyweight, bantamweight, lightweight, and welterweight. On the day before the fight, fighters must be within the limits of their weight class or they risk being disqualified.

Jab

A jab is a flashing punch thrown with the lead hand that is used to set up more powerful punches, such as the cross or hook.

Hook

A hook is a punch normally thrown with the lead hand by bending the arm at the elbow and rapidly rotating the torso.

Cross

A cross is a straight punch thrown with the right hand from an orthodox stance or the left-hand from a southpaw stance.

Round

A professional boxing round lasts for three minutes and there are a maximum of 12 rounds a fight. Also, there are one-minute intervals between these rounds.

Knockout (KO)

What boxing betting markets are available at The Online Casino?

Unlike horse race betting and cricket betting that have multiple betting markets available, the types of bets you can place on boxing are limited. Here are just some of the most popular boxing betting markets available at The Online Casino.

Outright winner

This is a wager on who will be the winner of the fight. Here, you’re not picking the round or the method of victory. You’re just backing one fighter to defeat the other.

This bet works best if you’re quite sure that one fighter will beat the other in the fight.

Total Rounds

As well as predicting the winner of a fight, you can also bet on the number of rounds that a bout will last, predicting under or over the line given by The Online Casino.

Winning method

With this bet, you’re backing a fighter to win by specific means i.e., by Decision, KO or TKO.

The winning group of rounds

Here, you’re backing a fighter to win within a specific trio of rounds.

Round betting

This wager is when you back a fighter to win in a specific round. This is the toughest bet to make in boxing, but it also offers the best odds.
