How Can You Accurately Measure Risk? Before Or After A Fight?

Of course you can measure 'risk' before a fight, if you are good at evaluating you will predict the outcome of a fight most of the time, but not all the time. Odds compilers working for bookmakers do it, insurance companies also evaluate risk, but it is not an exact science.

It would be wrong to say that a boxer who won a fight he was expected to lose had not taken a risk.

The proof being - A man runs across a busy motorway/freeway which has 10 lanes, 5 lanes in each direction, he manages to somehow get from oneside of the road to the otherside of the road in one piece, with the traffic all doing 70 mph, are you really trying to suggest that just because the man got from one side of the road to the other side of the road that there was no risk, your arguement that the man surviving is proof that there is no risk,is bollocks, obviously there was a huge risk in this example, an odds compiler would tell you that the man was 90% certain to be knocked down, 9 times out of 10 that man would not have made it across the road, it just happened to be the one time in his favour.
