Jake Paul, DraftKings promo, Sports betting

Jake Paul (6-1-0) is no longer undefeated but remains undeterred. Saturday night at the American Airlines Center, Paul will face former UFC and MMA star Nate Diaz legend in the main event.

We’re probably coming to the close of Paul’s celebrity career unless he can present a strong technical performance against Diaz. Paul admitted he considered hanging up the gloves after losing to professional boxer Tommy Fury in February.

But the world and bettors keep paying up, so roll the dice one more time.

Again, Paul isn’t fighting a professional boxer but a former UFC/MMA fan favorite. He’s undefeated against such opponents.

Bettors think he will trounce Diaz, too, and Paul is a -400 favorite. Diaz is +310. Oddsmakers set the over/under on rounds at 7.5. It’s -115 on both ends.

That’s a pretty good underdog bet if your gut is screaming Diaz.

You won’t see a lot of sweet science from Paul, but he’s proven ability and willingness to throw heavy punches early in fights. He has several first and second-round KOs.

Diaz will underestimate the former reality show star at his own peril. If Diaz gets aggressive, he’d better know how to protect himself in the process. When Paul sees an opening, he’s quick enough and strong enough to put an end to the fight.

However, bettors might find great value and great satisfaction in watching Diaz drop Paul. If you’re betting with your head, put a few bucks on Paul. Our hunch is he won’t be able to knock out Diaz, so consider a parlay with going the distance to mitigate the short payout.

A smile $5 bet with DraftKings turns an immediate $150 bonus.

Paul has been taking on tough fighters, so we tip our cap. While some call what Jake Paul does “celebrity boxing,” Nate Diaz is a dangerous fighter, no matter the discipline. Diaz might be the first to taunt Paul with credibility. Even though Diaz is 12 years older, he was well-known for his fists in MMA … and then taunting his prey.

In the end, Paul’s reach and punching power are a good combo.
