The betting public is all over Jake Paul, but this is not a simple one to predict. On the one hand, Paul has handled his business to date and is the more high profile fighter. On the other hand, Tommy Fury is the first real boxer he’s faced to date. Fury is not a contender by any stretch, but his eight fights to date are more traditional boxing experience than anybody else Paul has fought.

That being said, Fury has faced tomato cans to date, with his last fight being the first against anybody who’s got a decent won/loss record. It makes sense for people to bet Paul, but it will be interesting to see if Fury provides a bit more of a challenge than an Anderson Silva or Tyron Woodley.

As for the fight outcome, neither fight is a knockout artist, but a Fury stoppage is an interesting one. He’s theoretically got more boxing skills than anybody Paul has faced thus far, and it might be a little easier for him to slip in a big shot that sends Paul to the mat. It seems fair to bet either that or a Paul decision.
