10/8/2026 — Official Bet Results: 0–3

Starting bankroll: $6,083.14 Not my night—all three official bets lost. Osleys Iglesias over Zaren KO/TKO/DQ, rounds 1–6: +150 12% of bankroll — $729.98 LOSS — −$729.98 Iglesias won by TKO, but my rounds 1–6 bet did not cash.

10/8 & 10/10 — Official Bets: Asanau & Sandoval KO

TWO STRAIGHT KO BETS — 7% of bankroll each 10/8 — Dzmitry Asanau KO/TKO over Luis Santana +155 Stake: 7% of bankroll — $425.82 Our estimated chance: 45% Three straight stoppage wins. His sustained attack and damaging body work are why I’m backing another finish. 10/10 — Ricardo Rafael Sandoval KO/TKO over Sergio Alfonso Mendoza Cordova +145 Stake: 7% of $4,805.68 bankroll — $336.40 Sandoval has proven himself against Teraji and Acosta. Mendoza’s 27–1 record includes plenty of weak opposition, and he was stopped in two by Simsri last time out. I favor Sandoval’s experience against better competition. Mr. Magic X @MrMagicBoxing

10/8 & 10/10 — Official Bets: Iglesias & Schofield

Two knockout bets at +150 , with stakes of 12% of bankroll on Iglesias and 3% on Schofield . Prices quoted on 10/6/2026. 10/8/2026 — Quebec City Osleys Iglesias vs Oliver Zaren Projected winner: Iglesias — 96% Projected method: KO/TKO — 82% anytime BET: Osleys Iglesias to win by KO/TKO in rounds 1–6 Odds: +150 Stake: 12% of bankroll — $729.98 Our estimated chance of this bet winning: 62% Fair odds: −163 Break-even probability: 40% Edge: +22 percentage points EV: +55% We favor Iglesias to impose his power and pressure early. Our estimate gives him a 62% chance of finishing Zaren within six rounds, comfortably above the 40% required to break even at +150. For every $100 bet , a win pays $150 profit , returning $250 total . Estimated EV is +$55 per $100 wagered . The stoppage must come in rounds 1–6.

Iglesias & Schofield KO Bets: Fair Odds, Edge and EV Made Simple

How do we decide whether a knockout bet offers value? Here are the two examples from our latest X posts, with each number explained in plain language. Prices used: Iglesias anytime KO/TKO −340 and Schofield anytime KO/TKO +150, as discussed on 10/6/2026. These calculations use our existing estimates and those quoted prices. 10/8/2026 — Osleys Iglesias vs Oliver Zaren The bet: Iglesias anytime KO/TKO at −340. Our estimate is an 82% chance Iglesias wins by KO/TKO . That leaves a 18% chance this bet loses , because 100 − 82 = 18. An Iglesias decision win would also lose this knockout bet. 1. Where do our fair odds come from? Fair odds are the price that would break even if our estimate is accurate. 82 ÷ 18 × 100 = 455.56 Our fair odds are approximately −456 . The 82 is our estimated percentage that the KO/TKO bet wins. The 18 is the percentage that it loses. At exact fair odds, risking $455.56 to win $100 balances those chances. 2. What does the sportsbook price mean? −340 means risk $34...

Boxing Round Robins: Another Way to Bet Moneylines and Props

Two winning bets out of three can still leave a parlay bettor with nothing. We experienced that with our recent $700 boxing parlay: two legs hit, one missed, and the entire ticket lost. A round robin would have produced a different result. By dividing the same selections into smaller parlays, we could have collected on the two winning legs without needing the third. This approach can work with moneylines, KO/TKO bets, decision props, round totals and other eligible markets. The important questions are whether the selections offer value, how they can be combined, and how much we are risking across every ticket. Our three-fight parlay Our 10/2–10/3 ticket included: Selection Odds Result Omari Jones KO/TKO rounds 1–4 over Alan Sanchez +220 WIN — Jones KO2 Bilal Fawaz–Ethan James: Round 11 to start?
