Jake Paul’s Betting Outlook vs August
At 26 years old with a record of 7-1 and four knockouts, Jake Paul enters this fight as the clear favorite. Riding high off his initial success in boxing, Paul recently suffered his first defeat – losing a decision to Tommy Fury.
Paul has since rebounded with a win over MMA legend Nate Diaz, but many criticized the former Disney star for not taking on another true boxer. This fight provides Paul a chance to rebound from defeat and solidify his world title aspirations against his first truly experienced foe.
The former YouTube star possesses genuine power in his right hand along with above-average athleticism for a boxer. However, his glaring weaknesses are his limited experience and vulnerabilities on defense.

Andre August’s Betting Outlook vs Paul
35-year-old Andre August enters this fight with a record of 10-1-1 along with five knockouts. Though lacking in name value, August poses one of Paul’s toughest tests to date thanks to refined technical skills built over 10 years as a professional.
While not a devastating puncher, August is an elusive defensive specialist looking to frustrate Paul over the long haul. In his most recent fight vs Brandon Martin, August secured the victory via unanimous decision, although Martin had never fought anyone with a winning record before the match.
August is yet to challenge for any major titles, but he did win the Texas Combative Sports Program Light Heavyweight title in November 2019 with a unanimous decision win over Santario Martin.

Jake Paul vs Andre August Prediction
To pick up his second consecutive win, Paul needs to use his powerful right hand to knock out August. He should also use his height and reach advantage to keep August at bay.
August, on the other hand, needs to use his experience in the ring to outbox Jake Paul. He should also try to take the fight to the later rounds, where Jake Paul’s lack of experience could be a factor.

The early rounds could be tactical, with August trying to blunt Paul’s vaunted power using slick movement and counters. But Paul may find openings to land his right hand with authority as the fight progresses into the later rounds.
While this fight could be closer than the odds indicate, we’re going with the Problem Child in our Paul vs August prediction. He’s been adding new techniques and addressing previous shortcomings, and we think his rigorous training will pay off Friday.
August carries a 10-1-1 record, but his opponents leave much to be desired. Paul chooses his opponents very carefully, and there’s a reason he’s selected August for this one. Bet the Problem Child to win via TKO at ESPN Bet.
