Jake Paul vs. Ryan Bourland Preview and Betting Odds

On Saturday, March 2, morbidity will be the main attraction because Jake Paul will once again step into the ring to fight, this time, against an experienced Ryan Bourland in the cruiserweight division. 

The fight will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and it will be a new opportunity for Paul to leave behind the criticism of his origin as a YouTuber. 

That’s why this time, he did choose a natural boxer like Bourland, although without a career as outstanding as one might expect for an event that will surely end up having a lot of coverage by the press and experts in the sport of flat noses. 

And is that Paul has had fights with people who have been more linked to the world of mixed martial arts than boxing, so this time there are questions about what he can achieve in the ring. 

Jake Paul and Bourland will star in the semi-stellar of the night since the main course is the return of Amanda Serrano to her island to clash with Nina Meinke.

Why bet on Jake Paul?

Jake Paul can be seen as a madman or as a visionary in the sport, but the truth is that his fights interest many people, some because they want to see him lose, others because they see his arrival in boxing as a curious fact, and some because they follow him since his stage as a Youtuber. 

Truth be told, his career has been nothing despicable, starting from the fact that he defeated Andre August in his last outing by knockout. 

The 27-year-old American fighter’s record is eight wins, five knockouts, and only one loss, remembering that he has been a professional since 2020. 

The cruiserweight fighter currently lives in Puerto Rico, which could mean he will have some local support in one of the most important fights of his career. 

It will be his second fight outside the United States, the first was in Saudi Arabia in 2023, and he lost to British Tommy Fury, who maintained his undefeated record. 

It’s notable that throughout his journey in this world, he has fought Ben Askren, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz, UFC heavyweights. 

Why bet on Ryan Bourland?

Like Paul, Ryan Bourland is a native of the United States and at the age of 35 was already inactive in boxing, since his last fight was on September 17, 2022. 

“Rhyno” did not have many highlights within his activity, even though his record was not inconsiderable, winning 17 fights, with six knockouts, and only losing twice. 

However, he was never able to fight for world titles and never even left the United States, so this possibility of fighting in Puerto Rico will be a novelty. 

His last fight was against Martin Santario, and he won it by knockout in the fifth round. Before that, he had already defeated José Hernández by majority decision and Ford Codale by unanimous decision. 

He is an orthodox boxer with a good stature, but a priori does not look as powerful as his opponent. 

Undoubtedly, Bourland’s experience is his best friend to try to beat the famous boxer he will face. 

Final Betting Analysis – Jake Paul vs. Ryan Bourland

Paul’s main stand-out point has always been his aggressiveness and willingness to get into the middle, something he shares with his foe, thus his nickname. The former influencer’s approach has got him some success, getting several KOs, but also made him seem clumsy at times, especially at his sole loss.

Undoubtedly, that experience served as a lesson, so he should seem more “polished” going into this contest.

At Gambyl Exchange we find that Jake Paul is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of 1.06, while Ryan Bourland has 11.0. 

Jake Paul left behind that point of mockery for coming from the world of social networks, he has proven to be a more than acceptable fighter, and that is why he will get a new victory for his record as a boxer. We’ll go for a KO in the 8th round. 

Go for a win in Jake Paul’s Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the win at 1.06, you will gain $6 for a total payout of $106.
