Inside the Distance
A phrase indicating the fight does NOT go to a decision – i.e., it ends prematurely by KO, TKO, or DQ. A fighter “inside the distance” means that fighter wins by stoppage at any point before the final bell. “Fight ends inside the distance” means there will be a finish.
A prop bet “Canelo **inside the distance**” cashes if Canelo wins by KO/TKO/DQ at any time. If the fight instead goes all scheduled rounds and requires judges’ scoring, the inside-the-distance bet loses. Essentially, backing a fighter “inside the distance” is betting on them to win before the full number of rounds elapse.
