Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr: Bloody Elbow predictions suggest blockbuster fight will have one ‘bizarre’ winner

Jake Paul's upcoming fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr presents a compelling betting opportunity, as many analysts predict Paul will secure victory via stoppage or decision. Given Chavez Jr's recent lackluster performances and age, punters may find value in betting on Paul to win, especially considering his strategic selection of opponents and previous successes.

One of the most anticipated fights of 2025 is drawing near as Jake Paul gets ready to battle Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The YouTube star-turned-boxer is preparing to battle another former world champion, following Jake Paul’s victory over Mike Tyson last year.

Paul will face off with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a former WBC Middleweight champion and son of the legendary Mexican fighter Julio Cesar Chavez. Over 18,000 fans are expected to pack the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, for the next step in Paul’s quest to become a boxing world champion.

Harvey Burton: I think Jake beats Chavez Jr with relative ease. Chavez Jr’s age and inactivity are bound to make him slower, and I just think that Jake will force an early-mid fight stoppage to pick up the victory. PREDICTION: JAKE PAUL VIA STOPPAGE

Harvey Leonard: Chavez Jr lost to Anderson Silva and did not look at all convincing against Uriah Hall, an MMA veteran whom I’d expect Paul to soundly beat. That kind of boxing and MMA math is not all that reliable, but with someone as unpredictable as Chavez Jr when it comes to how he’ll turn up, there’s not a whole lot else to go on at this point in his career. PREDICTION: JAKE PAUL VIA DECISION

Kyle Dimond: Chavez Jr should be far too experienced to open himself up to being stopped, but his performances have been lacklustre for some time. Paul, with his work rate alone, should do enough to win the majority of the rounds. PREDICTION: JAKE PAUL VIA DECISION

Jordan Ellis: Hate him or love him, Jake Paul is a smart businessman. The YouTuber-turned-boxer picks opponents with big names and impressive records he knows he can beat. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was a decent middleweight a decade ago. Outsized and way past his peak, he’s not going to pull off the upset. PREDICTION: JAKE PAUL VIA TKO

James Sweetnam: At the peak of his powers, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. would’ve had far too much for Jake Paul. Alas, his career has been plagued with poor performances and a failure to reach the potential his legendary father always believed he could. On paper, if the Mexican can roll back the clock a few years, then he should still get the job done. However, with little dedication to the sport, it’s unlikely he’ll have put together the work in camp necessary to defeat Jake Paul. As bizarre as this is to write, I expect ‘The Problem Child’ to win via KO. PREDICTION: JAKE PAUL VIA KNOCKOUT
