Method of Victory
You're betting on: which fighter will win and by what method (e.g. A Khan to win by knockout).
The result is settled on the official result announced by the match referee on the conclusion of the fight:
- KO = Knockout - (Typically this is when a fighter is knocked down and unable to beat the referee's count)
- TKO = Technical Knockout - (Typically this is when a fighter is knocked down and gets up to beat the count but the referee stops the fight as it is deemed the boxer is not fit to continue or the referee feels the boxer is taking too much punishment and stops the fight)
- RTD = Opponent Retired - (Typically this is when a boxer returns to their corner at the end of the round but doesn't come out for the next round as their corner has deemed them unfit to continue)
- UD = Unanimous Decision - (This is when all three judges agree which fighter won the fight when it goes to points after the full number of scheduled rounds have been completed)
- SD = Split Decision - (This is when two of the three judges score for the same fighter to win the fight and the third judges scores for the other fighter when it goes to points after the full number of scheduled rounds have been completed)
- MD = Majority Decision - (This is when two of the three judges score for the same fighter to win the fight and the third judge scores it a draw when it goes to the scorecards after the full number of scheduled rounds have been completed)
- TD = Technical Decision - (Typically this is when has been a fight has to be stopped because of an accidental head butt and a fighter is deemed not able to continue due to an injury. The fight must pass a certain number of rounds set by the competition rules of that fight and then it goes to the judges scorecards and the winner decided on who was winning at that point when the fight was stopped. If a fight doesn't reach the required round when it happens then the fight is a technical draw)
- DQ = Opponent Disqualified - (Typically this is because one of the opponents have repeatedly or flagrantly fouled an opponent or violated other rules. If both fighters are disqualified then the fight is declared a no contest).
Round Betting/What Minute The Fight Will End
You're betting on: which round the fight will be won in.
The following rules also cover 'Group Round Betting', 'Under/Over Round Betting', 'Odd/Even Round Betting', 'Half Round Betting', 'Live - Fight to End Round 'X'', 'Live - Either Fighter to Win', 'Live - Group Round Betting' and 'What minute will the fight end' (explained below).
- If a boxer withdraws during the period between rounds, the fight is deemed to have ended in the previous round. The bell will signal the end of a round and the bell being sounded again will signal the start of the next round. Therefore, a boxer who withdraws after the bell is sounded to signal the start of the next round will be deemed to have lost in that round, even if there's no competitive action in that round.
- In the rare event that a points verdict is given by the referee before the full number of scheduled rounds have been completed (Technical Decision), then the fight will be decided on the judge's scorecards at the time of the stoppage and settled as a Decision/Points Victory.

Win on Decision/Technical Decision
A points victory: A Decision victory is a fighter to win on the judges' scorecards after all the scheduled rounds are completed.
- If a fight is scheduled for more than four rounds and after four rounds, an accidental foul occurs which causes an injury (further to which the referee stops the fight), the fight will be deemed to have resulted in a technical decision in favour of the boxer who is ahead on the scorecards at the time the fight is stopped. All markets on the fight will stand.
- If the accidental injury/technical decision occurs during the first 4 rounds, all bets will be void unless the result of the relevant market has already been established or if the judges scorecards are used to determine an official winner at ringside.
- If an intentional foul causes an injury and the injury results in the fight being stopped in a later round. (1) the injured boxer will be deemed to have won by technical decision if they are ahead on the scorecards and (2) the fight will result in a 'technical draw' if the injured boxer is behind or even on the scorecards. (For settlement purposes the result of the fight will be deemed to be a draw).
