No matter what the situation might be, when you get two boxing fighters who have been in the ring against professionals and felt all of those emotions, you can’t take anything away from them.
Many people are counting Bourland out of this and making this seem like an easy fight for Paul, but that’s a mistake. Bourland is a tough dude with nothing to lose in their on Saturday night–a dangerous situation for Paul to walk into.
With that being said, the Paul vs Bourland betting prediction is that Paul wins by KO. Whether he sparks Bourland clean out, or the corner steps in to stop the fight, the matchup is clearly in Paul’s favor.
Paul is much quicker and more athletic, with a style that involves him darting in and out of range with an active lead hand and devastating backhand. The plodding-forward style of Bourland with his head not moving will make for an easy target for Paul.
The toughness of the underdog will make this fight go into the third round at least, but Paul will get the stoppage in rounds 3 or 4. (+310)
