What is the fastest win in boxing?

FASTEST KNOCKOUT The fastest knockout on record appears to be one in a Golden Gloves tournament at Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA on 4 Nov 1947, when Mike Collins floored Pat Brownson with the first punch and the contest was stopped, without a count, 4 seconds after the bell.

If you're like me and enjoy watching a good boxing match-up then I'm sure you either 1) stayed up and checked the web/watched on TV the Hatton Pacquiao fight or 2) woke up this morning to find that HITMAN HATTON...well was more like RAGDOLL HATTON unfortunately after PACMAN knocked him out cold with an enormous left hook in Las Vegas last night. It got me wondering, in the history of boxing what have been the quickest knockouts and who is responsible for them? After looking through the Guinness World Records database here's a couple of nuggets I found: FASTEST KNOCKOUT The fastest knockout on record appears to be one in a Golden Gloves tournament at Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA on 4 Nov 1947, when Mike Collins floored Pat Brownson with the first punch and the contest was stopped, without a count, 4 seconds after the bell. SHORTEST WORLD TITLE FIGHT The shortest world title fight was 20 seconds, when Gerald McClellan (USA) beat Jay Bell (USA) in an WBC middleweight bout at Puerto Rico on 7 August 1993. Hatton was knocked out at the end of the second round so he's a long way away from breaking any of these records. It's a shame of course and we are all disappointed but none of us more than the man himself I'm sure. Congratulations Manny Pacquiao, you are an awesome champion and all boxing fans will hope to see more of you soon. Big props of course to Ricky Hatton. As we always say at Guinness World Records, it's not always the result but the trying that is most important.

Til the next time!

What does plus and minus mean in sports betting?

What does "plus" and "minus" mean as a sports betting term?

Odds expressed in terms of money, with $100 being the standard. If the odds are minus (–), then that amount of money must be wagered to win $100. (e.g. –150 means you must bet $150 to win $100.) If the odds are plus (+), that amount of money would be earned on a successful $100 wager. (e.g. +150 means you make $150 on a $100 wager.) Money line is also sometimes referred to as “American Odds.” The standard (and often implied) number is –110, meaning a successful bet of $110 would net $100 profit. This is the “juice” or “vigorish” (aka “vig”) for the house or sportsbook. Assuming equal bets on both sides, the house has a built-in 10 percent cut of the action, regardless of the outcome of a particular sporting event. This juice is a way to discourage gamblers from wagering on a heavy favorite. If the Golden State Warriors are listed at –500 to win the NBA championship, a successful $500 wager would only net $100. On the flip side, the plus-minus juice can also encourage gamblers to wager on a longshot. If the Los Angeles Lakers are a +500 to win the NBA championship, a successful $100 bet would net $500.
