Topic: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury - February 26 in Saudi Arabia (Read 1848 times)

Yep, I didn't enjoy watching it after I realized I lose the bet. I thought Jake will win since he did a quick KO in the 8th round that big plus for him but eventually that was just a quick KO and Tom even contested it.

Tommy can do a combo making Jake hug for his dear life. I guess it's true what they say that Tommy indeed is a real boxer and can utilize his reach advantage after all.

Both boxers are actually over paid considering their performance.  It is really boring to watch, I even fell asleep watching them.  That is how marketing and promotion do.  They did a lot of controversies and at the end underperform.  Well, what would we expect to a boxer that is considered newbies in terms of being a professional boxer.  Probably Jake Paul will go back fighting washed out athletes, and Tommy would have a better opportunity in terms of boxing career.

I think undercard fights are way better than the main one.

Jake Paul's camp should really think hard if a rematch will be good for him. It's probably better to challenge a bigger name now since he'll most likely lose again.

He won't be able to sleep and just staring into the abyss hehe.

He's probably not that happy inside with the way the fight finished but still well done to him for overcoming that huge pressure. He'll gain confidence from this for sure and he'll most likely finish or win more convincingly if the rematch happens. There's a high chance that his camp will also push for it.

I would love to see a rematch.

There must be something that the judges saw and we didn't. I am also scoring there and most of my rounds are for Jake Paul. I don't know what happened and why it was 3 points away from the judges' scorecards.
The first judge was right with just 1 point difference, I don't know about the other two.
Anyway, it was a good fight, the 1st round seems like they are going for a wrestling match but as it goes on they played better.
How much was it for winning Tommy Fury's bet? I know he is the underdog, but how far?
Edit: Found it @2.06.

There's will be a rematch 100% because Jake Paul wouldn't want to lose from any boxer, at least if he win in the rematch, he already prove anyone if he can beat every boxers he have fought. It was a close fight, some people think Paul should win, but some of them say it's should be draw. But draw is really make sense because both of them have showed a good fight, it's not an easy decision.

Honestly I think the judges will favor on Jake Paul's side, but they prove me wrong here.

I wonder if they'll have a rematch, it seems that there are people and even jake paul thinks that he should have won(well, he said he doesn't agree with the judges). I won't be surprised if a rematch happened, it seems that a lot of people are going to want a rematch too, especially jake paul's fans.

No, this was really 50/50 fight, it was even more 50/50 than Volkanovski's and Makhachevn's match. But Tommy was performing better. You could really feel that Tommy was into boxing for years and has more experience. I noticed that Jake Paul has very bad stamina. If his stamina was as good as Tommy's, definitely Jake would beat him. However, Tommy won slightly. From this match, no one, not even Tommy can say that he is the best and I think he admitted it. I loved the fact that Tommy appreciated Jake Paul after the match and admitted that Jake Paul is a real boxer and he was wrong. He even told that to Jake after the match: https://twitter.com/BTSportBoxing/status/1629982223842824195?cxt=HHwWhsDSpcqM7p4tAAAA

The clan of Fury accepted rematch

They'll probably just do 50/50 at most though. I still think Tommy is the lesser name. Regardless of the loss it's still Jake that is the bigger draw here. It's Jake's name that is selling out stadiums and PPVs; Tommy isn't. He's an undercard fighter at the moment not a headliner but it's Jake that has pulled him up to where he is right now.


Yeah. To be honest though both Ilunga Makabu and Badou Jack are probably at the tail end of their careers. Maybe Jake should actually fight a ranked opponent in the division because I'm not sure how many levels Makabu is over him. He might actually impress. Jake should just either take the rematch and/or get some more fights under his belt and who knows where he can go. Maybe we might see Tommy meet Jake again down the line in a bout for a decent ranking or with a proper belt up fr grabs. There's no reason why they both can't go away improve and take their careers to the next level.


They had Jake a inch taller which seems to be correct but I'm pretty sure they had Tommy far eclipsing Jake on reach too.

I'd watch it again. Both fighters should learn from it, and it was a competitive fight which is what you want. Tommy Fury clearly the more technical, and crisp striker, but Jake Paul has power, and he did sting Tommy a few times with that overhand right.

Yeah, Jake has a future in boxing too. Even at the lower levels, I don't think Tommy Fury is champion material, but then again some divisions to have some poor champions. Just look at Ilunga Makabu, I'm sorry, but he's a poor champion. He's got power, and that's about it. His technique, and footwork were awful last night.

I'm pretty sure I saw that. Although, it's not like I went back, and checked. I just saw they had Jake Paul at 6ft 1 I believe, a inch taller than Fury, and his reach was also marginally more. Although, like I said I might be wrong.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe he was making up for the bad decision earlier. I don't think that ref was great to be honest. I'm surprised they didn't use a more well known/respected one. Tommy did hit him in the back of the head but I don't think it was malicious either but you never know.


Yeah, it was a knock down. Even Tommy's brother Shane and dad said so, but it was one of those weak ones where he was off balance but that's still a punch that caused you to fall and still a knock down. Tommy clearly wasn't stung by it either so I'll give him that. I think it's inevitable the rematch will happen. It makes sense for everyone. Maye the second fight will be even more eventful and call for a trilogy.


I think if Tommy has a bright future then so does Jake. The trouble with Tommy is where does he go from here? He's no where good enough to be challenging for titles and how can he co back to fighting for 10-20k on people's undercards now? I think he might have to pivot into youtube boxing or at least keep doing it side-by-side with pro boxing. I'm not sure how far he can make it as a pro and might get embarrassed the moment he stops fighting journeymen whereas he could probably go on to be one of the best 'influencer' boxers which is probably where the big money is at anyway.



Ae you sure? I didn't see that.

Fury looked better, although I agree that the fight was close, Fury still deserved the victory more. After the match, Paul talked about wanting a rematch, but I don’t see the point in that. Maybe he was hurt by the fact that he was beaten, this is the first defeat and he is no longer invincible, but this is what I wanted to see, a fight with a young fighter, even if not at the top level.

Before the fight, Fury talked about all the money from this fight going to charity, I don’t know if it will be like that, or it was just talk.

Based from this article -
https://www.sportingnews.com/us/boxing/news/jake-paul-vs-tommy-fury-purse-salaries-2023-fight/yxww1azqknwp5hkoudfsjnhj

Jake Paul will get a guaranteed purse of $3.2M plus ppv earnings so approx $8.6M.
Whereas, Fury can get a total of $4.5M. Now that Fury won this match, I believe, Fury will get the bigger split come this rematch.
The percentage may reverse next time, 35-65% in PPV earnings in favor of Fury.
This earnings is really not bad, much much higher than most professional boxers.
Paul was saying he was sick twice and injured his arm, but not making excuses. So let's see how the rematch will pan out.

To be honest, I don't think either of them deserved the point taken off. Tommy Fury wasn't engaging much of the clinching, and shouldn't have had the point deducted, and honestly Tommy Fury was hitting Jake in the back of the head as much as Jake was to him. So, I'd just let them carry on. There was one bad punch in the back of the head from Tommy Fury, but that's only because Jake Paul turned his back.


Good, entertaining fight. I thought the one judge that made it a split decision was awful mind you. I had Tommy had several rounds same as the other judges. Jake Paul did score that knock down though, and despite Tommy's claims that was a knock down, and not a slip. It might have been because he was off balance, but that's a knock down. I'd probably watch this fight again. Tommy Fury still has a bright future, I think most of us forget he's only 23. Also, I did notice that the promotion had Jake Paul with longer reach, how do they even measure these arms?

A big win by Tommy Fury, I believe he was dominant in most rounds. If there was no knockdown in the last round, I don't think the decision would have been a split decision. Anyway, regardless of the decision, what matters is that Jake Paul has finally found a good match and is no longer undefeated. This fight deserves a rematch because it was fun to watch, and I'm sure that Tommy Fury would accept it because he wants to prove to everyone that he can dominate Jake Paul.

By the way, do you know how much they made from this fight? Is their earnings public?

after passing 10 hours the fight ended and I could see the highlights of the fight, maybe it's my impression or the fact that I didn't watch the fight I'm making wrong judgment, but I had to replay the highlight video for more than 5 times , even though it was only a 3 minute video that summarized the fight, I got the impression that jack is doing so well in the fight that he even deserved to win the fight, but in my opinion people were rooting for Tommy Fury's victory, all every time Tommy Fury threw a string of punches at jack people screamed and clapped probably convinced that as long as Tommy Fury kept throwing the punches he won

then I went to read people's comments, all I see are comments for Fury, most of the comments were that jack is still an amateur in the Boxing and that Fury was holding back, others even believe that the speed of fury's punches did the trick. jack trembling, from what I see even if jack wanted a second fight I doubt very much that fury would accept it, that's because with this victory fury will continue with a good reputation and if he accepts a second fight and loses, then his first fight it would also taste like defeat

I don't know if they're using drugs or not, but the post-fight interview makes it seem like someone said to Tommy Fury: "here's a big challenge to climb to the top of the biggest mountain in the world, no one has ever managed to reach the top of the mountain" and he managed to reach the top of the mountain so they are very happy... this is the impression I have when I see his interview.

Tommy Fury Overcome with Emotion After Beating Jake Paul, Will Accept Rematch | POST-FIGHT INTERVIEW

 

the guy was under a lot of pressure, maybe if he had lost he would have been crying

Yes, only a draw or a victory for Tommy made it possible to hold a rematch, since in case of a victory for Jack Paul, the right to a rematch is not spelled out in Tommy Fury's contract, so we will see another duel between them, but to be honest, I expected more from Tommy.

You have to give him credit. I had no idea what would happen in this fight and Jake went the distance and even got a knock down. I'm glad a lot of people and even the Fury family and most other pro boxers are giving them the credit they deserve. To have John Fury declare Jake a proper boxer now must mean a lot to Jake and it's nice to see that there isn't bad blood between them. You could tell it meant a lot to Tommy too and the weight of the world must have been lifted off his shoulders after being declared the winner. Hopefully they'll both up their game and train like absolute maniacs for the rematch and give an even better fight. They should maybe up it to 12 rounds even though both of them looked pretty knackered by the end of it.


Come on now. You would probably say this whether it was a draw or Jake won. If they wanted to build up for a rematch then a draw would probably be the better option for that as nobody loses their 0 and they can bill it as unfinished business. Jake will have wanted the straight win more than anything so he can take the W of beating a boxer and move on to bigger and better things. Now he's got to go again in a fight he might just lose again.

There's going to be a rematch they need to hype it again, I guess a rematch will be good for both Jake Paul and the fight is too close and he scored a knockdown and got deducted, Tommy suffered a knockdown from the hands of a one he called a Youtuber and as a boxer, he needs to get even so they need to do a rematch and it seems all the articles and talks are going for it now and Jake even confirmed that there will be one let's see how they will build up the rematch, the build-up on this fight is entertaining and full of drama and fans will like to see another drama for the build-up of their rematch.

Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury rematch confirmed as YouTuber explains why he lost

Well, we all get what we expected to have - a nice show. At first I only wanted to look for results next day morning, but ended with looking on the internet where to watch their fight And I think I wasnt the only one who did it. So all in all Jake and Tommy reached their goal. As to a fight, it wasnt bad. It was way more interesting than that Mayweather vs. Chalmers exhibition fight, when Floyd did not even appeared at weigh-ins, because he has a birthday that day.

For sure, hehehe, even John Fury says that Jake Paul is a boxer  and they are all praises with him. And it just shows that they opting for a rematch maybe in the Saudi again as obviously the money in boxing is now on the Middle East. Paul said he respects the decision even though he didn't like it obviously. So I guess we shouldn't be surprised if there will be a rematch and then animosity between the two, trash talking and that will culminate in the face off/weigh in pushing each other again. But we all know that this fight is just for pure money itself. There are a lot of upcoming boxing fights that fans shouldn't missed though.
