Thoughts: Honestly, give me Silva straight-up at positive odds. An over-the-hill Tyron Woodley was the best striker Paul ever fought and “The Problem Child” looked decidedly mediocre before landing that one-hitter quitter. Silva is close to Paul’s size, infinitely more experienced, and has actual experience in a pro boxing ring. Hell, beating a mentally checked-out Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is far more impressive than anything Paul has accomplished in his brief career.
I’d be wary of betting on specific rounds or round groups. Silva’s countering skills mean he could hypothetically end Paul at any point in the fight.
Aside from that, I could go for “Silva doesn’t get knocked down” at -140. Paul isn’t savvy enough to exploit the flaws of Silva’s head movement like Chris Weidman did or patient enough to prove an unsafe blitz like Uriah Hall. Silva shouldn’t have much trouble staying on his feet.
This is all with the caveat that Silva’s almost 50, of course, but he’s still levels above any of Paul’s prior opponents. Good enough for me.
