- Nathan Heaney to beat Brad Pauls by Decision/Technical Decision - 11/10 with bet365
- Amanda Serrano to beat Stevie Morgan by KO/TKO/Disqualification - 4/6 with bet365
- Jake Paul to beat Mike Perry by KO/TKO/Disqualification - 10/11 with bet365
We were promised Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson this weekend, but after the former heavyweight champion of the world suffered an injury, it’s Jake Paul vs Mike Perry instead that we will have to settle for inside the Amalie Arena, Tampa.
Paul-Tyson is still happening – now slated for November 15 in Arlington, Texas – but the YouTube star-turned 9-1 fighter will get a chance to turn his winning column into double figures before mixing it with a 58-year-old “Iron Mike”.
Elsewhere in the world of boxing, we’ve got a lip-licker of a British middleweight title rematch in Birmingham as Nathan Heaney and Brad Pauls attempt to find a conclusive winner following a split draw back in March.
It’s a modest 5/1 shot with bet365 that we are trying to reel in, so let’s have a look at the three legs, plus the top boxing betting offers from the best betting sites.
Weekend Boxing Betting Tips
Nathan Heaney to beat Brad Pauls by Decision/Technical Decision
This British middleweight title fight rematch is guaranteed to be a hum-dinger.
The judges were unable to split the pair of relentless 160-pounders back in March, with Heaney retaining the Lonsdale strap that he won off Denzel Bentley last November in another Fight of the Year contender.
The original bout went back and forth over 12 rounds with both men enjoying dominant patches throughout, and the defending champion, Heaney was probably the man that felt most aggrieved post-fight, arguably looking the more aggressive and accurate throughout the 36 minutes.
So they do it all again back in Birmingham on Saturday and Heaney’s travelling Stoke support will probably up their levels and get their man over the line this time.
Pauls is a solid, seriously good fighter, but Heaney’s ceiling is just that bit higher.
Amanda Serrano to beat Stevie Morgan by KO/TKO/Disqualification
Make no mistake: this is to be considered a tick-over fight for Amanda Serrano before she narrows in on a long-awaited rematch with Katie Taylor.
The unified featherweight champion is moving up to super light-weight in preparation for her rematch with the Irish legend, and she’s going to re-wet her feet against the unheralded Stevie Morgan on the Jake Paul undercard.
Serrano isn’t used to non-title fights, but following the postponement of Paul-Tyson the powers that be also decided to shift Serrano-Taylor back to November.
Morgan tends to fight in Colombia and his been knocking her opponents out in the first round over the last six fights...
But don’t read too much into this or the level of opposition that the 35-year-old has been facing. Serrano is one of the very best in the sport, ever, and will probably be looking to break the American down inside the distance.
Jake Paul to beat Mike Perry by KO/TKO/Disqualification
We’re not expecting this fight to be anything more than a chance for Paul to gain another knockout for his highlights reel, and the chance to advertise his rescheduled fight with Mike Tyson in November.
To Paul’s credit, he has decided to take boxing very seriously over the past couple of years.
The “Problem Child” is devoted, in-shape, hits hard and is more than capable of adding to his 6 KOs as a professional against another UFC veteran who is deciding to mix it in the world of boxing.
Perry’s only other boxing fight (in 2015 vs Kenneth McNeil) ended in a KO loss in the fourth round, and considering he lost eight times as an MMA fighter, losing won’t be a stranger to the 32-year-old.
