Best Paul vs. Joshua Picks at Underdog Tonight

Here are my Underdog picks for the Paul vs. Joshua fight tonight:

Anthony Joshua enters this fight under immense pressure; a sloppy early mistake would ruin his career, so expect him to utilize a disciplined, high-volume jab to keep the 6’1” Paul at bay. By the 10-minute mark (early in Round 4), Jake’s cardio—taxed by the 245lb weight of a heavy-hitting Joshua—should begin to crater, allowing Joshua to open up his power shots.

The key to hitting the 32.5 punches landed is Joshua’s reach. With a massive 6-inch reach advantage, Joshua can pepper Paul from the outside without ever putting himself in danger. If Joshua averages just 10 or 11 landed shots per round—typical for his more methodical performances—he will comfortably clear this total by the middle of the 3rd round. This volume acts as the setup for the finish, rather than Joshua just hunting for a single “home run” swing.

The 4th Round KO is the most surgical pick because it threads the needle of Netflix entertainment and boxing reality. Joshua knows he shouldn’t end a global spectacle in 30 seconds, but he can’t let it go late enough to risk a “lucky” overhand from Paul. Finishing a tired, bruised Jake Paul exactly in the 4th round satisfies the “Over 10:00” requirement while cementing Joshua’s dominance just as the fight transitions from a boxing match into a survival mission for Paul.

At Underdog, your entry must feature at least 2 athletes from different events, so consider taking one of these Joshua picks alongside another pro boxer or any other athlete.
