Paul vs Danis Fight Preview
As the only competitor with boxing experience in this fight, I’m not surprised to see Paul as BetOnline’s -500 moneyline favorite. His odds for victory carry an implied win probability of 81.8%.
After making a name for himself on YouTube, Paul gave boxing a shot when he fought fellow social media star KSI in an amateur fight in 2018, resulting in a six-round draw. The duo had a professional rematch just over one year later, but it didn’t go as Paul planned as KSI won via split decision.
The Westlake, OH native then stepped away from boxing for nearly two years before taking on the legendary Floyd Mayweather Jr. in June 2021. Although the exhibition match wasn’t the most competitive fight, Paul still hung in there as the meeting ended in a no-contest.
Danis, meanwhile, has much more combat sports experience than Paul.
The 30-year-old made a name for himself due to his no-gi jiu-jitsu and grappling experience, going 18-16 across 34 matchups. Danis’ success caught the eye of Conor McGregor, who offered the latter a spot in his training camp.
Danis also fought twice under the Bellator umbrella, picking up first-round submission victories over Kyle Walker and Max Humphrey. Having said that, it’s now been four years since “El Jefe” last competed in a combat sports environment.
Furthermore, Danis doesn’t have any boxing experience. His MMA career was based on grappling, making it interesting to see how he handles the upcoming boxing matchup.
Paul vs Danis Betting Trends and Markets
Unfortunately, there isn’t a ton of value on the Paul vs. Danis betting line unless you’re banking on an upset. Having said that, BetOnline has other markets that provide more valuable options.
For instance, BetOnline is favoring the Under on the 4.5-round total at -140 odds. This likely has to do with Danis’ lack of boxing experience, as well as the fact that hasn’t had any sort of fight in over four years, leaving his cardio in question.
With the sportsbook also favoring that this fight won’t go the distance (-200), Paul is favored to win by KO/TKO at -165 odds. While he’s yet to win by knockout, his boxing experience and the size advantage put him in a good place to finish Danis.
If you’re looking for an even bigger win, Paul is most likely to land a knockout punch in the third round (+500).
Paul vs Danis Prediction and Best Bets
Even though Danis has the combat sports experience advantage, I’m taking Paul to win in Manchester. He’s been boxing for the last five years and his bigger frame will help him survive whatever Danis has to offer, even if it isn’t much given his grappling preference.
I’m also picturing Paul winning via KO/TKO. Danis’ remarks over the last few months have lit a fire under the favorite, especially since Nina Agdal requested a restraining order against the former. Paul will do everything in his power to
Considering how Danis hasn’t fought in four years, I don’t see him surviving this one.
