Bet on Boxing

Boxing Betting Online. Although many wanted a match up between Khan and WBO champ Timothy Bradley, Bradley declined the match. Instead, Khan will face Zab Judah, who has great experience and an entertaining fight style. Let's get into the odds.

Zab Judah (41-6, 17 KOs) at +390 vs. Amir Khan at -480 (25-1, 17 KOs)

At 24, Khan is one of the best young boxers in the world. His only loss was at the hands of Breidis Prescott three years ago, but Khan has left a trail of boxers in his wake after going on a tear. He's beaten legen Marco Antonio Barrerra, Paulie Malignaggi and Marcos Maidana during this run.

Judah has been in the ring with the best of them, losing to the likes of Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather Jr. despite putting on a valiant effort against the world-ranked opponents. He's beaten fighters such as Cory Spinks and Mickey Ward, which are impressive feats.

Over 9.5 rounds at -110; Under 9.5 rounds at -120

While Khan has good power, Judah is not a finisher and is even harder to stop before the final bell. Khan needs to catch the quick American to be able to score a KO -- much easier said than done. Judah has been one of the better counterpunchers for a while now, and he's got awesome technique to boot.

Although this isn't the matchup most fans wanted to see, both should be commended for taking a fight that actually matters instead of the usual BS against tin cans. Khan has long felt that he's one of the best in the world, and this fight could go a long way in showing he belongs.

King George: Nathaniel added to Ascot field King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes
Venue: Ascot
Date: Saturday 23 July
Time: 1630 BST

Nathaniel has been added to the field for the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday at a cost of £75,000.

John Gosden's colt was an impressive winner over the course and distance at Royal Ascot last month.

Coronation Cup winner St Nicholas Abbey and Royal Ascot victor Rewilding are among the other leading contenders.

Rewilding's stablemate Debussy is a second potential runner for Godolphin trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni.

Midday, trained by Sir Henry Cecil, and Aidan O'Brien's Seville complete seven runners among the five-day declarations for the mile-and-a-half contest.

Workforce flopped in the 2010 King George, which was won by a record 11 lengths by Harbinger in what turned out to be his last race before injury ended his career.

Last year's Derby winner, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, was narrowly beaten on his latest run by So You Think in the Coral-Eclipae over a mile and a quarter at Sandown.

Rewilding, on the other hand, wore down So You Think over 10 furlongs in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot.

St Nicholas Abbey, a long-time favourite for the 2010 Derby before missing the race, has returned to form this season and defeated the multiple Group One-winning filly Midday by a length in the Coronation Cup at Epsom.
