Jake Paul Seeks the KO Against Julio César Chávez Jr.
The influencer and boxer Jake Paul returns to the ring this Saturday as a heavy favorite against Julio César Chávez Jr. In his first fight since defeating Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in November, Paul is the favorite with odds of -800 for his match against the former WBC middleweight champion. Chávez Jr. defended his title three times between 2011 and 2012 and last fought almost a year ago, obtaining a unanimous decision over former UFC fighter Uriah Hall, on a card that, coincidentally, also included Paul and Mike Perry.This fight seems destined for Jake Paul’s victory, but the odds are too high to bet directly. However, there are betting options with good value.
For example, Paul, 28, has a +140 odds to win by KO/TKO/DQ. With his knockout power and facing an opponent 11 years older who has taken much more damage throughout his career, it wouldn’t be surprising if Paul won by knockout. Another option to consider is betting on knockdowns. Even if Paul were to win by decision, he could connect with Chávez Jr. at the beginning of the fight and send him to the canvas, a bet that pays even money. If you want to go a step further and predict multiple knockdowns, something that is possible in this fight, the “over” bet is at +150. It’s also interesting to bet on Paul to win by decision. If it’s believed that Chavez Jr. is tough enough to last, this bet can be obtained at even odds. You just have to be prepared for some difficult moments during the fight. The main event, scheduled for 10 rounds, is scheduled for 11 p.m. ET from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California (broadcast on pay-per-view by DAZN).
