Predictions for Jake Paul vs. César Chávez Jr.
Josh Peter, USA Today: Paul by TKO
Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.: At 39, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is well past his prime. At 28, Jake Paul is approaching his prime. Thanks to youth and a powerful right hand, Paul will prevail. Prediction: Jake Paul by TKO, Round 9.
C. Jackson Cowart, Sportsbook Review: Paul by decision
Cowart writes, “Youth, power, reach, and recent consistent performance give Paul a clear edge. Chavez Jr. has the skills and pedigree, but his age, lack of recent high-level activity, and motivational concerns are big red flags. Paul’s physical advantages and training discipline should outweigh Chavez Jr.’s experience.”
OddsShark: Paul by KO/TKO (+140)
OddsShark writes, “Unless Chavez Jr. shows up in peak form, this is Paul’s fight to lose. He’s in better shape, he’s more active, and his power is real. Chavez Jr. might have the pedigree, but Paul has the tools and the drive right now.”
Jake Paul Piers Morgan
Paul made an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, hosted by the former CNN anchor, and stormed off the set. Morgan was pushing him that he couldn’t beat a top-fight boxer, which Paul took umbrage too.
When Morgan pressed him on why he was on his podcast, Paul replied, “Oh, I’m just taking your audience to sell pay per views. I don’t give a (expletive) about your show, (expletive). This is a (explective) business enterprise. Buy the pay per view on Saturday, June 28, me versus Julio César Chávez Jr. Thank you, tune in everybody!”
He then walked out.
