This means you would have to bet $270 to profit $100 with a Paul win. Whereas, if you bet $100 on Woodley to win you would profit $210. According to these odds, Paul is 73% expected to win, while Woodley has only a 33% chance to win.
Jake Paul is the A-Side
The Youtube sensation is still in the learning process as he holds a record of 4-0, with 3 KOs. He is also only 24 years old with a long way ahead to become a serious contender in boxing. However, Paul proved to be athletic and a good student. He has been training as a boxer for more than two years and he was sparring for dozens of rounds.
What makes him the A-Side is his social media success. So, most of the fans are rooting for him. What is more, he managed to get out with a split decision win over Woodley in their first fight. Paul is confident he can step up his game plan and destroy Woodley in the rematch. He said to CBS, “First time I outboxed him. This time I am gonna punish him and leave no doubt.”
Tyron Woodley Can Be More Dangerous in the Rematch
The former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley is now 39 years old. Before fighting against Paul in August, Woodley was cut from the UFC after four straight losses. Facing such a tough reality must have tarnished his self-belief.
When he made his boxing debut against Paul, he was very conservative. Woodley did not move his hands enough. However, when he threw and landed, he was very dangerous. In fact, Woodley arguably scored a knockdown that was not called when the ring ropes held Paul up following a right cross. This means Woodley has a strong chance to win if he hurts Paul more often.
When will the Fight Take Place?
We shall expect Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley to enter the ring at 09:00 pm E.T on December 18. They will fight at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

Our Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley 2 Predictions
For obvious reasons, Paul will likely be the boxer, while Woodley the puncher in the rematch. What is more, Woodley will look to fight from inside, while Paul will be boxing from outside. The reason is that Paul enjoys height and reach advantage.
Thus, if Paul successfully dances around and jabs all the way until the end, his chances of winning on points will be high. However, his opponent will likely be busier this time around and less cautious and respectful of Jake Paul. In other words, Woodley will likely aim to let his hands go and catch Paul more often.
