Betting Favorites: Plus Money for Jake Paul in Duel with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
In an anticipated boxing match, Jake Paul will square off against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The highly-anticipated bout will take place in Anheim, Calif.
Paul, who has shown consistency in his 12 boxing matches, boasts an impressive 11-1 record. His recent victories, including his win against Chavez Jr. and Mike Tyson, have raised his profile and credibility in the boxing world.
Despite Chavez Jr.'s greater traditional boxing experience, with over 60 professional fights in his career, Paul is favored in the match according to legal sports betting sites. He has -900 odds to win, making him a heavy favorite.
However, the plus-money props for Paul's method of victory offer strong value for bettors seeking value. The +165 odds for Paul to win by KO/TKO/DQ are particularly appealing. Interestingly, three of Paul's last four wins have been by KO/TKO, and each of his last three fights that ended early finished under 8.5 rounds.
Bettors can also find 165 odds for the fight to go under 8.5 total rounds. Chavez Jr.'s three most recent early-ending fights also stayed under this round total.
Despite Chavez Jr.'s experience, doubts about his current form and effectiveness, combined with Paul's physicality and momentum, have led to him being heavily favored. These factors outweigh Chavez Jr.’s experience in the eyes of oddsmakers and fans.
