July is rolling along in the boxing world. So, Vegas Betting looks at the July 20th fight between Jake Paul and Mike Perry. Sure, the 200-pound weight class brings us a battle that could be intriguings. Can Jake Paul knock out Mike Perry next Saturday night? Yes, we wonder will win in the Paul vs Perry bets between these two pugilists. A surprising amount of pundits are not expecting a decision.
Numbers might not move much more for this fight. Once again, the best Vegas online boxing betting sites seem to have a consensus with this fight. Jake Paul is a solid favorite to notch win number 10.
Paul vs Perry bets keep glaring at the Moneyline. The hope was that Jake Paul coming out of the Mike Tyson fight delay would only be -175 or -200 here. Fortunately or unfortunately, Paul appears to be in better shape than expected. Also, the 200 pound fighter (approximately) expects to have a slight weight advantage going into this fight.
Now, one important note with this fight is the round limit. It will not be 10 rounds but this bout on July 20th will only be eight. This allows for more options in a way simply because stamina will not be as much of an issue. Paul views this as an excellent tuneup and expects a very intense Mike Perry to come out and challenge him. Does the fighter show some restraint or does he go on the counter attack?
The problems for Perry could easily multiply in this bout. Talk is great but ultimately it is cheap here. Perry is a brawler by trade and only knows how to come at someone one way. Bare-knuckle boxers and MMA fighters are often in the same cloth that way. The 32-year-old will leave openings for Paul.
Pundits now see the Moneyline hover around to the -250 to -325 range. Those in the know believe Paul’s ability to counter at anytime will be the difference. The American will not have issues at 200 pounds but Perry might because his max weight is likely around 185 or so.
These two fighters might lend themselves to the following solution. This feels like that Paul may be angling for the knockout. Connect rates are immaterial in a fight like this. Paul shows deceptive power for someone who has turned to boxing later in life. Again, Paul is staying busy last fighting four months ago. So, the Paul vs Perry Bets map out a scenario where the knockout option (whether it be KO or TKO) is on our card.
Yes, bettors get drawn quickly by the KO/TKO/DQ option. It remains hard to believe but this number is in the -125 to -150 range. Guessing the round or group of rounds could prove difficult in a shorter fight. Also, the round prop will be available but probably sometime later next week. The thing is Paul’s last two fights have lasted a combined just over five minutes.
Sportsbooks keep inching toward the knockout here. Distance numbers expect to stay in positive territory from now until July 20th. Perry will be coming at Paul like a bull with Paul playing the matador. He will counter and counter then the more disciplined fighter will attack.
Other props will need to be monitored as they come out. However, one could go crazy and go for the Round 1 knockout here. That number will be well above +1000. The safer number is the knockout being the method of decision.
Paul vs Perry bets wonder can Perry actually stop Jake Paul? Anything could occur potentially. However, that 76-inch reach of Paul is something to watch. Perry will have to get inside often which means he will have to absorb punishment. Perry’s reach is 71 inches which is five inches shorter compared to Jake Paul.
Okay, expecting Perry to go the full eight rounds seems like a tall order here. The max rounds for a bare knuckled fight is only six rounds by the way. The intensity here is going to be a little different and he will be fighting a heavier boxer. Again, does Perry have the power to catch Paul off guard and rock him? That is going to be his likely only chance for victory.
The +210 to +260 moneyline is nice for Perry but early on that +750 number for a KO or TKO is enticing. Again, betting small is wise here in the hopes that Paul comes in a little too full of himself for this fight. Remember what happened to Tyson Fury last year.
Are we waiting on more props? Yes, in the meantime, take a look at these online boxing Vegas odds. When betting with boxing, shopping around is truly a good decision.
Spotlighting the early to middle rounds is ideal for round props for both fighters. It does not appear a decision will be all that likely here.
As we mentioned above, betting small with exhibition-like fights is a good idea. To err is to human and even we have been sucked into a good prop bet only to get burned.
