Boxing Men's Lightweight 63kg odds have Andy Cruz of Cuba as the -175 favorite to win gold. BetOnline offers a generous welcome bonus (max bonus $1000).
Representing Cuba, Cruz won two gold medals at the Pan American Games, as well as two gold medals in the AIBA World Championships.
Cruz beat Great Britain's Luke McCormack to advance to the final of the Men's Lightweight 63kg.
He began boxing at the age of 10.
"I always liked combat sports," Cruz said. "I was in karate for a while and I was doing well. But it overlapped with boxing broadcasts on television which entertained me a lot. I loved the bouts of my idol [Cuban boxer] Mario Kindelan. And my friends encouraged me to try it."
American boxer Keyshawn Davis should see plenty of betting action with a payout potential of $350 on every $100 bet.
