    went to three today to place my 'all four brits to win by stoppade this month' bet
    and not one of them could give me odds:bart
    could get allfour to win, but nothing else.

    couldnt even get a price on calzaghe stopping jones unless i picked a round:-(

    i know its annoying. but i put JC to win by TKO round 9.

    if he wins by KO i dont think i win anything

    On most bets you bet on a stoppage, its doesn't matter if its KO, TKO or cuts etc. I'd guess your bookie has just labelled the bet up wrong.

    The reason you wont be able to get odds on all four winning is because none of the bookies have priced up the Froch fight yet. Would have to go for the treble on the first 3 at 11/8 with Ladbrokes.

    Froch hasn't been priced up yet - so you would have to leave him out - but a treble for Hatton, Haye, and Calzaghe all to win by stoppage returns odds of 25/1 with Paddy Power.

    33/1 with willie hills think is the best price you will get on the stoppage treble

    Yep, but if you only got specific rounds its still any type of stoppage and your bet is up. Ghostybadge seemed to think (if I read his post correctly) he HAD to have a TKO rather than any other type of stoppage.

    I am thinking Calzaghe by stoppage, 7/2 is the best I am seeing online.
    Will Hill have not even put a price up online :-(
    there is not a shop near me.

    On Betfair you can have a single bet on Calzaghe to win by either KO, TKO or DQ (ie 1 bet covers all 3 outcomes). You don't have to nominate a round.

    Just bet on Joe by stoppage tonight, and if he comes through, put your winnings on Ricky next (or whoever it is fights next, I can't remember what order they go in) and do it like that

    Same difference

    Anyhow I cannot see Ricky or Joe winning by KO!
