Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry odds, pick and prediction: Easy bet as boxing circus rolls on, Sat. 7/20

Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) is taking on "Platinum" Mike Perry in Tyson's place in Saturday's pay-per-view main event on DAZN (9 p.m. ET). Though, Tyson is expected to fight Paul in November.

And what we're not expecting is for Perry to derail those plans, even if he wins.

Perry (0-1, 0 KOs) stepped up on short notice, and the UFC and Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship vet surely will get the payday of his life.

Here's my Paul vs. Perry pick and prediction for (Saturday).

Paul vs. Perry Breakdown & Analysis

This is Paul, who continually improves as a boxer, picking on yet another former MMA fighter in Perry who doesn't have much of a boxing background to speak of.

Perry's one loss in his lone boxing match was in May 2015 – nearly 10 years ago. It was to a … journeyman? Club fighter? Prospect? The guy's name is Kenneth McNeil, who before his win over Perry, was 6-1 with three KO victories against fighters you've never heard of.

The six wins came against foes with a combined 19-31-5 record with eight stoppages. McNeil is now 13-5 with 10 KOs, for what it's worth.

Perry's loss, by the way, was a fourth-round KO to McNeil, who hit him with an overhand right, a punch Paul's won with in his career.

On that note, God, Perry's hands are lowwwww in a bunch of his fights. Paul could jab him to death, use his movement, and throw his right hand behind as the night goes, and that'll be the end.

Perry, to his credit, has excelled in the bare-knuckle BKFC promotion, where he's 5-0 with three knockouts, including stoppages of Luke Rockhold, Thiago Alves and Eddie Alvarez – other MMA notables – and he also has a majority decision BKFC win over former Bellator contender Michael "Venom" Page.

Paul will have height (6-foot-1 to 5-foot-10), reach (76 inches to 71) and age (27 to 32) advantages in what is scheduled to be a cruiserweight fight.

The cruiserweight limit in boxing is 200 pounds, and Paul has weighed in at the limit (199 plus) in each of his last two fights after initially hovering between roughly 183 and 191 pounds. In BKFC, the weight limits mirror mixed martial arts, which is to say, Perry – who last competed at light heavyweight in April – has weighed in at 175 and 185 pounds (middleweight and light heavyweight – the latter more recently) for his bouts in the bare-knuckle promotion.

Paul is naturally bigger – and, well, did you think his team would have Perry take the fight if this weren't the case?
