Who puts their money where their mouth is?

5/2 for Groves to KO or TKO Junior are amazing odds.

£100 on that please, sir!

 

As it's all fun and games and I am greedy all or nothing, it's only a tenner and Barca add over 100 quid to the total pot...

Hoping sportsbook is up here now the weigh in is done!

 

£5 on Jr win via KO.

 

I've had a tenner on groves r6 and r8 25/1 each plus groves Ko twenty. Also a bet with a friend £100

 

War George

 

I got a tenner on Groves points and a tenner on Groves stoppage rounds one to six.

 

Got 100 on Jr round 7-12

600 on him to win the tourney.

 

Is the forum Sportsbook not going to be up for this as it doesn't involve an American fighter?
A shame if so as seems an open and divisive fight that would offer good odds.

 

£25 on Groves in round 5-8 and £25 on Groves in round 7-12. Hopefully he does him in the 7th or 8th.

 

I've got a fiver on Groves by decision at 9/2. Not putting a lot on it because I'm not sure which way this will go. I'm going to this fight tomorrow and like CutThroatFade has already said, I want to go and enjoy it and stay relatively neutral. Not totally neutral, I'm probably 60/40 in Groves' favour.

 

At 22/1 for a draw im tempted to stick some money on that aswell..maybe just a score or something..the more i think about it i wouldn't be suprised at all if it was a draw.

 

It can't be a draw it's a semi final?

 

Good point. Does anybody know what would happen if there is a draw in this tournament?

 

It goes to the fourth Judge.

Check the bookies rules for the market your betting on.

"But what happens if there is a draw in one of the fights? Who moves on?

"A unique boxing tournament requires special rules," the WBSS said in its announcement. "In the World Boxing Super Series there will be an additional fourth judge whose scorecard will be used if the main three judges deliver a draw result."

The fourth judge can also come into play in the event that a tournament fight ends in a no contest or no decision and the three official scorecards do not determine a winner. In that case, the scorecard of the fourth judge will be added to the master scorecard to determine who advances to the next round of the tournament, or who wins the Muhammad Ali Trophy in the final.

Further, if two of the now four judges score the bout in for one boxer, and at least one of the other two of the four judges score the bout a draw, that result will have the boxer for whom two judges scored advance to the next round.

In addition, if a fight remains a draw even after adding the fourth judge's scorecard to those of the three official judges, the WBSS will use a "count back" method to determine who advances in the tournament. The "count back" is, in essence, a sudden-death method of scoring using the three official judges' scorecards to determine who advances.

Beginning with the scorecards for the 12th or last round that occurred, the boxer who won that particular round on at least two of the three scorecards will advance. If the bout was scored evenly in the 12th round or the last round that occurred, the advancing boxer will then be determined by who won at least a majority of rounds in the preceding round.

If neither boxer won the next to the last round on at least a majority of the three official scorecards, each preceding round's scorecards will be examined until a round where one boxer was declared the winner of that round on at least the majority of the three official scorecards."

 

Ok. Makes sense. Cheers for that.
