Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz betting odds
According to the odds revealed by FanDuel Sportsbook, Jake Paul is favored to win against Nate Diaz in their upcoming boxing match. At -270 odds, bettors would need to wager $270 to win $100 on a Paul victory. On the other hand, Diaz is considered the underdog at +200 odds, which means a $100 bet on the former UFC title challenger would yield a $200 profit if he were to win the fight.
Despite the Stockton native's advantage in combat sports experience, Paul has demonstrated his skills as a boxer, defeating Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva in previous matches. It's worth noting that boxing and mixed martial arts are distinct disciplines, and 'The Problem Child' has shown himself to be a skilled boxer despite being relatively new to the sport.
While Diaz and his team may analyze Tommy Fury's strategy against Paul to identify any weaknesses they can exploit, it remains to be seen whether Diaz can pull off an upset and defeat the favored Paul.
