Boxing betting tips: Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Predictions

Can Paul Handle the Pressure Against a Veteran Like Chavez Jr.?

• Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has gone the distance in his last three bouts and has only been stopped twice in 62 professional fights.
• Jake Paul is coming off a win against a 58-year-old Mike Tyson but has never faced a fighter with Chavez Jr.’s experience.
• Chavez Jr. lost narrowly to Anderson Silva, who was later defeated by Paul — suggesting margins are tighter than odds imply.

Our Best Bet

While Paul’s return to action is generating plenty of attention, the undercard also carries its fair share of intrigue. Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez will defend his title against the powerful Yuniel Dorticos, while Floyd Schofield takes on Tevin Farmer in a bout expected to go the distance. Elsewhere, seasoned names like Holly Holm and Avious Griffin will also feature, with Curiel, Naomy Valle and Ashley Felix all stepping into the ring in what shapes up to be a comprehensive night of fights.

But it’s the meeting between Paul and Chavez Jr. that will hold the spotlight. With youth against experience, freshness against faded pedigree, and ambitions clashing at different stages of their careers, it’s a main event layered with narratives. Paul enters as the favourite, but Chavez Jr.’s technical class and experience add a compelling level of uncertainty.

---

The rationale behind this choice hinges on the stylistic contrast and physical realities between the two boxers. Although Jake Paul comes into the bout in peak condition and as a heavy favourite, this will be arguably the sternest examination of his chin and composure under real pressure. Chavez Jr., though no longer the force he once was, still boasts genuine ring craft and possesses the know-how to expose gaps in a less experienced opponent’s defence.

While Paul is undeniably fitter and has built his career through relentless self-promotion and selective matchmaking, this time he faces a fighter with 62 bouts under his belt and a history of success at a significantly higher level. Chavez Jr. has gone the distance in each of his last three fights and has only been stopped twice across six defeats — a testament to his resilience, even as his best days are behind him. But what stands out is Chavez Jr.’s ability to apply early-round pressure, and this could test Paul’s durability in ways we haven’t seen before.

Paul’s youthful energy may well help him rally later on, but Chavez Jr. has the tools to land something meaningful before that. This doesn’t necessarily mean a win for the Mexican, but a knockdown — perhaps in the earlier rounds when Paul is still adjusting to Chavez’s rhythm — seems a strong possibility. For those watching closely, this could be the first time we see Paul seriously troubled and forced to rise from the canvas.in and Yafai’s measured, pressure-based style, a tactical battle with no men hitting the canvas is well within expectations.
