Let’s break down what the best betting sites for showmatch boxing have to say about the latest Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. odds:
The opening betting lines for this fight had Jake Paul as a massive favorite with 1.09 (1/11) odds, but it has gone up a little bit since then, while Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has seen his odds go down from 6.90 (59/10) to 5.50 (9/2).
Jake Paul is riding a five-fight winning streak right now, as his only loss came from Tommy Fury in 2023. He is now on an 11-1 boxing record with seven knockout victories. The Problem Child beat the legend, Mike Tyson, via a unanimous decision last year in one of the most-streamed sporting events of all time.
The Problem Child will have a lot of advantages over the Mexican boxer, and it can very well be the last fight for Chavez. Julio Cesar Junior is 11 years older, while Paul is at his peak physical prime right now. Jake Paul also has the momentum and confidence after recent big wins over Mike Tyson, Nate Diaz, and Anderson Silva. He also has 76 inches of reach, which is three more inches than the Mexican boxer.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has fought only once since December 2021, as he beat Uriah Hall via a unanimous decision last year. The Son of the Legend has been inactive in the last few years, so it will be interesting to see how he will handle the pressure against a much younger opponent. He started his career with an impressive 46-0-1 record before suffering his first loss to Sergio Martinez in 2012. Chavez Jr. won three of his last six bouts.
Chavez Jr. is obviously much more experienced than Jake Paul, with 62 professional fights and playing at the highest level while being the WBC middleweight world champion. He has a high ring IQ, which will be very helpful in managing this fight. This will be Jake Paul’s second 10-round fight, while Chavez Jr. has a lot under his belt, so he has more experience in that format, despite his inconsistency lately.
The boxing bookmakers are ready for this big clash with some enticing odds and offers. The best betting sites for KSW have Paul as a big favorite, so here are our Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. predictions:
2 (100%)

Jake Paul will finally get a WBC world ranking with a win in this fight, and he is expected to have a title fight soon if that happens, so he will be very motivated to prove himself in this bout. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.’s prime is far behind him, which was obvious in his last fights, and he has no showmatch future even after the victory in this fight. The Mexican boxer lost to Anderson Silva, Mario Abel Cazares, and Daniel Jacobs in his last six bouts, while Jake Paul has won 11 of his last 12 bouts, including a win over Anderson Silva, who is the last boxer to beat Chavez Jr.
2 (100%)

Jake Paul could catch Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. off guard in the early rounds, as he is much younger with a big punching power, which could come as a surprise to the Mexican boxer. There’s a lot of value in this pick with plus-money odds, especially because Paul has knocked down almost every boxer he has faced, including Anderson Silva.
2 (100%)
0
Both boxers have big punching power, with Jake Paul having seven knockouts from 11 wins and Chavez Jr. having 34 knockouts from 62 wins, so this fight could very well have an early finish for one of the boxers. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has gone under the total of 8.5 rounds in four of his last 10-round bouts and should aim early finish, not to test his endurance over the whole distance.
This is Jake Paul’s toughest fight without a doubt, but we expect him to step up and get a big win via a knockout over Chavez Jr. Make sure to take advantage of the betting bonuses on the online boxing sites to have more fun watching the event.
