Thoughts: I don’t think I’ve ever seen an over/under of 1.5, but I also don’t think it’s wrong. Bourland’s a natural Light Heavyweight with a one-punch knockout loss on his record; unless he radically reinvented himself in the nearly six years since his last televised fight, Paul’s going to wreck him with the quickness.
The only question is how quick. -135 on Paul stopping him inside of two rounds looks like a safe bet; he put the pedal to the metal against Andre August and there’s no reason to think he won’t do so here. If you want to be extra-safe, though, hedging your bets with +250 on the Rounds 3-4 wouldn’t be the worst idea. Get your ratios right and you can guarantee a profit so long as Paul stops him in the first half, which looks just about guaranteed from where I’m sitting.
