Anthony Joshua to Win in Round 2
After building a career on beating up on retired basketball players, reality TV stars, and past their prime MMA fighters, Jake Paul’s mouth may have finally written a cheque his fists can’t cash. Set to go toe-to-toe with the former Unified-Heavyweight Champion of the world, expect to see Anthony Joshua score the knockout victory in the second round of action.
While in reality, Joshua should be able to send Paul packing within the first round, but because this fight is half entertainment, half sport, look for him to instead play with his food before delivering the finishing blow. In what will look like a grown man fighting with his baby brother, look for Joshua to dance around the ring as Paul helplessly swings for the fences, praying for a fluke knockout that would notch him the biggest upset victory in boxing history.
Standing at six-foot-six with an 82-inch reach, Joshua towers over the six-foot-one Paul brother, providing little to no entry for the Problem Child to work with throughout the fight.
Expect the first round to come and go, before AJ finally gets sick of the gnat flying around him, swatting him into the canvas, and squashing the title dreams of Paul before they even took flight, scoring a knockout victory in the second round.
For reference, in his last victory, Joshua took on former UFC heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou, who was coming off a competitive decision loss to Tyson Fury. He knocked him out cold in two rounds. Ngannou is 100x the threat that Paul is to Joshua, and AJ made beating him look easy.
At +375, this is an excellent value for a bet that should have no problem hitting. Hammer AJ to get the job done in a hurry, scoring the round-two victory over Paul in the Main Event of this Netflix Special.
