Jake Paul Betting Analysis

Love him or hate him, Jake Paul has made waves in the boxing world with his 9-1 record, including six knockouts. His lone defeat came at the hands of Tommy Fury, a more experienced boxer with a strong pedigree.

While critics have questioned the caliber of Paul’s opponents, primarily focusing on past-their-prime MMA fighters, there’s no denying the 28-year-old’s commitment to the sweet science and his marked improvements over time.

Paul’s punching power has been his calling card, with several highlight-reel knockouts to his name. Additionally, his ability to generate buzz and attract eyeballs to his fights is unparalleled.

Paul’s physical attributes, including his size and punching power, give him a distinct advantage over Perry. Standing at 6’1″ with a 76″ reach, Paul must utilize his length and strength to keep Perry at bay and land heavy shots from the outside.

If Paul has any weaknesses, it’s his limited experience against elite-level boxers and potential endurance in longer bouts. Still, thanks to convincing victories over MMA veterans like Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, the Problem Child has earned the right to be favored over Perry.

Mike Perry Betting Analysis

Mike Perry, a former UFC welterweight contender and current bare-knuckle boxing sensation, brings a wealth of combat sports experience to the table. Perry’s toughness is unquestionable with a 14-8 MMA record, including 11 knockouts, and an unblemished 5-0 mark in BNF fighting.

Although his professional boxing record consists of a single loss by knockout back in 2015, Perry’s success in the UFC and bare-knuckle circuit speaks volumes about his ability to adapt and thrive in various combat environments.

Perry’s key strengths are his relentless forward pressure, durability, and knockout power. “Premium” has demonstrated a unique ability to weather the storm and keep marching forward, a trait that could spell trouble for Paul.

On the downside, the 34-year-old’s lack of high-level boxing experience and potentially reckless approach could leave him vulnerable to counter strikes. Against Paul, Perry will look to close the distance, suffocate Jake’s offense, and wear him down with a high volume of punches.

Perry hasn’t faced a boxer of Paul’s size and power before, so it’s easy to see why he’s the underdog in this one. Oddsmakers still give him a much better chance than some of Paul’s previous MMA opponents, making him a potential live underdog on Saturday.

Tale of the Tape

Jake Paul vs Mike Perry Prediction

Our prediction for the Paul vs Perry showdown is for the Problem Child to win by decision. While Paul has the power to stop Perry, ‘Platinum’s’ toughness and endurance have us believing he will be able to survive the full eight rounds.

For those tempted to back Perry to win as a hefty underdog, tread lightly. His inexperience at the highest level of boxing and potentially overly aggressive style make it a risky proposition. Paul tends to deliver when the boxing odds are in his favor.

‘El Gallo’s’ superior boxing technique, combined with his size and reach advantages, should allow him to outpoint Perry over eight rounds. Paul’s route to victory likely involves utilizing his jab and footwork to dictate the pace early on, then targeting a fatigued Perry in the later rounds for a stoppage.

Perry’s relentless pressure and high-volume punching could make the fight closer than the odds suggest, but we’ve got the former YouTube star etching out a TKO victory when all is said and done.
