Thoughts: I don’t think a moneyline bet on Paul would go awry. I’m not convinced Fury has much of a technical advantage outside of boasting the better jab, so there’s not a whole lot he can do to overcome Paul’s size, strength, and punching power.
I’d also argue that Paul’s fight with Silva was tougher than any of Fury’s to date and showcased an ability to fight through adversity that “TNT” has yet to demonstrate.
Said punching power makes betting on specific rounds or over/unders too risky for my taste. If I did want to take a swing at one of the prop bets, I’d probably choose Paul not to be knocked down at -130. Fury’s straight right looks like the only punch in his arsenal with some venom to it and it’s still failed to put away his last three opponents.
