Betting on the 3rd Round KO

[amat]

I don't think it's against any rules nor should it be. Didn't Kiko Martinez bet his entire camp's purse on the fact that he would KO Dunne in the first round? Nothing wrong there.

Acceptable, but a 1st round KO wouldn't involve carrying a fighter to a certain round before stopping them....I just see that as a slight difference from a betting standpoint of course

How do you know ali didn't bet on himself?

I don't which is why I asked you if you knew...I thought that was an interesting and relevant point that you made (even if you were being facetious when you brought up Ali).

I mean I don't see a problem with carrying a fighter if you want to punish them or what have you and I certainly know that even if you plan to KO a fighter in a certain round your opponent can certainly have other plans in mind. Just from a betting perspective it seems a little off is all...and plus I didn't like how Paul Briggs got treated (and I am certain most other fight fans agree with me on that) so I was trying to point out that double standard.

The difference is paul briggs went down without being punched. At least Audley went down after being smacked about and got back up. Also the ref waved it off after 3 or 4 shots after audley got back up. Audley could easily have stayed down.
