A 7-1 underdog (Martin) against someone who is vastly untested. What a joke.

    Glaskov was eating L hands.

    It wouldnt have gone 12 rds.

    But I agree the odds are off, though I do favor AJ due to his speed and killer instinct.

    Cant help but think that Martin isnt prepared to handle the pressure once he's hurt. :think

    I hate looking at British odds like 7-1, 10/11 etc (so backward)

    Decimal odds are much easier to work out...

    Neither one has fought a ranked fighter, so why is this a title fight? How did Martin get a title shot, a completely unknown fighter getting a title shot, won by injury, was getting outboxed...................AJ will not fight a good fighter....................boxing is crooked...............

    Well they're pretty simple if you've been shown how they work.

    if it's something to 1 then you simply multiply your stake by that number to work out what you'd win.

    If it's odds on - i.e.. 10/11 then you win what ever the bottom number is for every amount of the second number you place.

    Hopefully that's cleared everything up for you.

    Charles Martin is the dark horse of the heavyweight division. Not well promoted, boring personality, not real exciting fights.

    But he pulls off the win every time. You're right, the odds suck, good betting opportunity.
