Topic: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury - February 26 in Saudi Arabia - page 9. (Read 1849 times)

If Jake Paul wins it seems he will soon receive a world ranking and he will become eligible for a Boxing World Title fight. This has to be a big motivation & driver after his recent break up with Julia Rose.

When you wear a globe and go inside the right and fight, one of your motivations is to become a champion, all boxers dreamed of becoming a champion and a World title is their ultimate goal, there are fighters who are called journeymen but they too dream and have it in their mind to fight for the title.
And I don't think he is too late to become a champion George Foreman won his second title at 46 years and 169 days old, with the right team, training, and motivation Jake Paul could become a champion and he will have the last laugh.

But the thing is MMA fighter is different than a boxer.  They have different disciplines and practices.  A new professional boxer or boxer that have lots of losses are still a boxers unlike MMA.  With Tommy Fury's fight, he is matched with a legit boxer while in Jake Paul's resume, those aren't boxers, Paul is fighting aged fighter that is not a boxer in a boxing rule.  I think, Paul's opponent records are way worst than Tommy Fury.

But of course at the end, we have to witness which one of them is a better boxer, I have no idea who has the advantage since both of these guys fought non-quality boxing opponent, except for the last fight of Tommy Fury but I am still in doubt of the result on that fight though.


But the way he is going with his career, it looks like he will just keep on dreaming.  Well, with his earned money from exhibition fights probably he can buy one. 

It is said that Jake is on worlds place #379 / 1,162 place and  on #52 / 188 in USA. Tommy is #363 and #45 in UK. Dont know what kind of rating it is, but somehow they are rated.

Did not know that Jakes aims to become a champion. Like he really said he dreams to get one of WBA, WBO, IBF, WBC and Rings belts ? The guys there are doing professional boxing for 10+ years and had years of amateur career. Jake is "a little bit" late to become a champion imho.

He's already said it's his dream to win a title. A bit of a lofty one but I guess you have to set your sights high. If he keeps performing as he has and getting better with every fight who knows where he can go though. If Jake has goals of becoming one of the biggest combat sports athletes on the planet ie someone like McGregor you don't really need to do anything else, though I'm sure he will continue to cross promote things and get involved in overlapping ventures as well.


Where does it say they're ranked?

Indeed a huge step and chance for Jake, but he is not going to make it. He does not have a dream, what every boxer has - to become a champion. Boxing for him is a bit more than passion, it is more like a work. I think that with first opportunity, he would follow his brothers path - creates a brand and starts its promotion. YouTube and boxing would be his first audience-clients.

Frankly, I did not understand how and why he would get a ranking. To get a rank you need to beat someone who rank. Does Tommy has a worlds rank? According to boxrec, they both already have ranks.

The press conferences? I wouldn't say the batsuit was a mockery. In fact, it's those sort of stunts you should be doing as press conferences are there to try sell the fight. You don't have to do something outrageous but you need to grab some headlines or at the very least try use it to get in the other fighters head. Like you say, Tommy doesn't have the gift of the gab like Tyson or Jake so they're not going to be good for him. There's very few people who can dominate them like McGregor and it's clear Jake is trying to emulate him in that regard.


From what I've seen I haven't seen him display anything special but he's not as bad as people make out. The trouble is it's hard to gauge because he's only fought journeymen  who haven't really challenged him so this is the fight we're going to see what he's made of. The pressure is certainly on Tommy though.  A win for either of them is huge but a loss for Jake won't end his career.


Not sure how I feel about this but it's an obvious publicity stunt from the boxing board. Jake could get there eventually but fighting some MMA fighters and Tommy Fury shouldn't get him there now.

This one just comes out

Jake Paul will be motivated to have impressive wins now that WBC, probably the most prestigious boxing body guaranteed a ranking, and it will come at the expense of Tommy Fury.
This will be a huge step for Jake Paul a ranking in WBC will put him on the radar of ranking boxers people will take him seriously now and possibly more money coming in for Jake.

Tyson Fury has been known to make a mockery of them, I remember the bat suit in particular. However, he's said multiple times he thinks they're a load of rubbish. Obviously, that's where he makes his money, but ultimately Tommy Fury is completely different to that of his brother. He doesn't have that wit about him, and while he might have charisma, it's in a different way compared to Tyson.

It's pretty 50/50 I'd say. I don't think there's going to be domination from either side, think it might be a close fight. Tommy Fury might get dragged through the mud because of his social media stardom, and the fact he's fought largely nobodies, but that doesn't mean he's not a good boxer. I've seen him perform poorly in boxing, but I've never not thought he wasn't talented.

Jake is also the one who keeps pushing for this fight which kind of really speaks how confident he is with his boxing already. Jake is bigger and also influential to the boxing promoters. He fought several fighters who are stronger in thier prime which is sort of training for him.

Disowning a family member because he lost in a boxing match is adding insult to injury. Thats not cool. I don't think that would be the case. But it will encourage Tommy to win.

Between the two Jake Paul's opponents are more battle-tested than Tommy Fury's opponents they may be old and almost wash up, but do check out their names they are once considered elite and top fighters in the UFC, and check both Fury's and Jake's knockouts how they deliver it, Jake's delivers great knockouts and he faced opponents who can punch and receives punches compared to Tommy's.
The hate between the two is real so I'm 100% sure that it will end in knockout and probably Tommy will get knocked out here, but of I doubt if the Fury family will disown Tommy because they also know that Tommy is no match against Jake, and they did it to motivate Tommy, he needs all the motivation that he can get, it's only more than a week before the biggest fight of their respective careers.

Are you new to boxing? There's been quite a few no shows to press conferences in the past few months alone. Fighters will try get out of them in any way they can if they know there's no advantage to them being there and they're not the ones getting paid on the back end. Dillon Danis and Dillian Whyte, have all skipped out on them recently. If you're not a confident trash talker and you're not getting any of the PPV money there's no real motive to showing up.


They're just journeymen to pad his record. It's pretty much standard practice these days and Jake has been selective with his opponents in the start too which is a wise decision, but I certainly think this is going to be Tommy's first real test with something actually on the line. One thing that has surprised me is Tommy's confidence. He seems 100% sure he's going to comfortably beat Jake even going as far to say himself that he will quit boxing if he loses. I'm not sure whether he will stick to his word or not but if he does lose he'll never live it down as a pro boxer so quitting might be his best bet and just pivot into being a model or social media star or something. Personally I still see this as 50/50 fight and I can't pick a winner. I'm not sure I can see Jake knocking Tommy out and I don't think Jake will outbox him either so I think it's more likely to go the distance. If it does I'd probably back Tommy on points and that's why Jake is going to need the KO. I guess if he can ko Woodley and knock down Silva he can do the same to Tommy but Tommy has youth on his side and hasn't been KOd yet, at least not publicly.

I just check Tommy Fury's record as I am not really that familiar to him and previous opponents most of them are on a lose streak or new professional boxers with an exemption of Daniel Bocianski with 10 wins and 1 lose when they fight though he win that via points. Even Jake Paul's matches were exhibition matches, his opponents were not some usual mediocore most of them are MMA fighters with an actual combat experience though that was not their specialty and might have a training that last a couple of months I really think Jake Paul would dominate this fight with a knock out in the end.

Tommy Fury's actions and behavior are questionable we have never seen a fighter not attend Press conferences I think he is losing confidence Press conference face-off is very important and this is where the Press promoted the fight and gives insight into both fighters' condition.
There's no history of Fury not attending conferences but on a very important fight of his career, here he is avoiding the very important part before the fight, he'll have to attend the weigh-in its a must, and the boxing community will not accept another excuse for the fight not to continue.
Tommy is not like his brother, Tyson who loves and thrives on Press conferences and face off.

Tommy Fury went low claiming family issues and then saying he was busy training a few days later. How can you ignore the media and not turn up when you knew that you had to do these talks to the media? I thought this was a contractual obligation and they have to do certain things how did he get away with it? I wanted Tommy Fury to knock out Jake Paul and expose him but I think from avoiding Jake Paul leading up to the fight I think Jake Paul might be in his head and I think Jake Paul could be the winner because Tommy Fury is a boxer and he has done these things before. He has never avoided the media or confrontation with his opposite fighter until now. I am wondering if he has not been training seriously or has left himself go while he was on reality tv shows and now that he has gone into camp he is worried about his fitness levels.

Jake Paul is in peak condition and if Fury is not at his peak I think Jake Paul knocks him out. It was only a week or two ago I thought Jake would be the one getting knocked out but I am not liking the look of Tommy Avoiding Jake Paul it sends the wrong message imo.

Yes mate, of course Jake Paul will be sleeping peacefully on the canvass if he's caught off guard with the likes of Canelo who's punches are very hard to predict but I don't think that will happen though even if Jake Paul has been calling champions like Canelo. Still, he's way too out of league to call such names if he can't even fight and defeat a Bonafide boxers.

About this fight, hopefully this two will clash once and for all to settle their nonsense rivalry. But I surely love Tommy Fury's antics because he kept on teasing Jake Paul and yes, just recently, he gave Jake Paul a headache for not showing. Hopefully he can face Jake and give a good fight, I just love seeing two nonchalant people fighting each other even if they believe they are a true boxer hehe.

I doubt Jake Paul will ever choose a real boxer to go against. He's out there to pad up his stats and collect for payday, and not really live up to the code of fighters of the sport. Tommy Fury is the same as him, and they're just looking to collect money from people that wants to watch this clown show of them.

Jake Paul gathered some of the mechanics of boxing along the way. He knows how to evade punches, but he's not really good at it. Line him up against an amateur boxer who's had his time in the ring and you'd see Paul get knocked out and caught off-guard by that amateur. Well might not be knocked out because that guy has a strong chin but still, in a fair environment I'll take an actual amateur boxer against this guy any day.

I don't think Tommy beat Paul. It's Tommy who ducks Paul afaik, as he avoided Paul twice since 2021 with a rib injury excuse and then another visa issue excuse.

Over time Jake Paul had gained high confidence in his skills after beating some old dude but he did what he did like any boxer who picks opponents. This time Tom is really afraid of Paul for not showing up. They are both big talkers but at least Paul always does what he promised to do.

Jake Paul is similar like Tommy Fury, his fight is full of cherry picked and not really a real boxer. I don't think Jake Paul can duck, he mostly throw random punch and make sure his punch will hurt his opponent. At least both of them are in the same level, so the fight can't be predicted which one will win.

Jake Paul can easily lose if he fight with a boxer who have a good dodge and technical skill e.g. Canelo, but yeah it doesn't make sense for new boxer fight with an Ex-Top 1 P4P rank.

Tommy Fury boasts that he has a great amateur record but I just saw this comes out in my feed it's about an article and a video on Tommy Fury's amateur background and based on the review of the article and my own view this does not look good for the younger Fury

Footage of 17-year-old Tommy Fury leaves fans concerned ahead of Jake Paul fight

Even his fights in the professional are not good all his opponents are patsies, he fought fighters that do not fight back or do not have punches that can hurt, so this fight against Jake Paul is the first fight where he will fight a skilled fighter who can duck, counter punches and with posses good power in his punches.
