Topic: [Boxing] Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul - page 6. (Read 1241 times)

I haven't watched the press conference, but I think I can already guess the sort of things John Fury was saying. I find him most of the time talking a lot of crap, but in snippets actually hits the nail on the head. I think he just slides into that hype man too often, especially with Tyson, and I say that being a big fan of Tyson Fury.

Jake Paul does have some decent fundamental skills in boxing. However, he isn't great by any stretch. Although, I doubt he'll be surprised by Tommy Fury's power, I mean just look at the guy he looks like a Greek god carved out of marble. Plus, as mentioned above boxers know exactly what they're getting into stepping into that ring, and would have probably received bigger beatings inside training than they'll ever have in the ring. Some boxers have openly talked about how rigorous, and hard some of the training was during build ups to big fights.

Definitely agree with that, Jake Paul likely isn't interested in belts, and probably uses this as a platform to further his music career in the future too. I know hes predominately known for Youtube, but I know he has a side gig going on in music, which I assume he'll want to leverage the new exposure to new audiences from boxing for that. I know both Paul brothers are definitely raking in the money with the new audience checking out their Youtube channels, judging by their view counts.

I can't see Jake getting embarrassed. He will always have that "Well he's a boxer" card to save him. Tommy has everything to lose, and only a big bag to win. Plus, I bet Jake Paul is demanding the majority of the purse since it's him that's selling this fight.



Did anyone see the press conference? Was pretty shambolic and embarrassing. John Fury needs to sit these things out. He said Tommy would bend Jake's GF over after the fight haha. A bit rapey  .

Professional basketball players often are getting hit with elbows unintentionally in face during defence, but they are not allowed punch or throw elbow back Basketball is not a best example Jake Paul wont really get surprised, because I am sure during his training, he gets punched in the face during sparing. Even I wont be surprised if I get punched hard in the face if I would be paid millions for that

I think Jake Paul will be surprised when he gets the first hard blow to the nose.  

This will be new to him.  It will be a very unusual experience for him.  

Perhaps he will ask himself why he didn’t go to play basketball instead of boxing?  

“Basketball players are good guys.  They are peaceful and nice people. They jump merrily like kangaroos.... "  

“And Tommy Fury is somehow inadequate.  He hits with his fist.  And tries to get in the face.  Where did I end up? "  

The actors, of course, get used to the role.  But it's hard to play a funny dude when you are thrashed by a professional boxer.

I hope the same as I am tired of these fights with Paul brothers. They don't bring anything good to the boxing sport. This will the first fight that Jake Paul is fighting against a real boxer and I sure hope that Tommy Fury can deliver what we expect and knock him out in the first round  .

Tommy Fury is the brother of the world famous Tyson Fury.  He is a professional boxer and is serious about winning. 

Jake Paul is physically very strong.  He recently defeated Tyrone Woodley.  However, Tyrone Woodley is not a professional boxer.  Tyrone Woodley is a former UFC fighter.  That is, he owns boxing techniques, but his main technique is wrestling.  And the fight was held according to boxing rules. 

And here Jake Paul will be confronted by a professional boxer strongly motivated to win. 

In my opinion, Tommy Fury will have a convincing victory over Jake Paul.

Those who havent seen this conference - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwfWkxUiak8

Why would Tommy called his relatives to the conference ? He is a big boy, he can handle things by himself. Otherwise it looks like a parent meeting at school I am just joking, they just call them for hype.

Btw, we are in 2021, why their video call is so laggy? This conference was unfair, it was 1 vs 3 To make this show more entertaining, Jake should fight all of them same time on the ring.

I think Jake will need all the advantages he can get. I'm all for levelling the playing field a bit to make the fight more interesting.


Might be worth a shot as I think he could win this, but at the odds I'm seeing it wouldn't be worth it for me. I usually don't take any bets under 4/1.


UFC does kinda stiff their athletes in multiple ways though. Most of them aren't paid much unless you're one of the big names and as the UFC is practically a monopoly they can do what they want regarding pay. They also have blanket deals with sponsors so all UFC fighters have to wear Venum clothing with the UFC sponsors on them like crypto.com and that stops athletes negotiating their own individual deals and it's those sorts of sponsorships that usually draw in the most money for fighters.


I don't think Jake has his sights set on attaining world titles. He'll just keep collecting those huge bags as long as he can and they keep getting bigger with every fight. Jake just needs to make it though this fight without being embarrassed and he'll be fine. Tommy is the perfect next step in my opinion. He might not be the best boxer but he still is one and has that huge Fury name attached to him so it's a wise choice for Paul I think. It's not so dangerous for him but still gets him that clout of fighting a pro boxer without the huge risk of fighting someone who could KO him with one punch. It's a very interesting fight for me. Jake could be embarrassed and so could Fury. The fight going all the way or even Paul just putting in a decent performance is still going to be a win for him I think. If it's close they might even do a rematch and I'm sure both parties involved will love that.

I don't think Jake is actually going to go far in boxing, but there's hope in a lot of peoples mind that Tommy could go far, although I'm not one of those people. I think Tommy losing here hurts him a lot more than Jake Paul. Jake Paul is still relevant even if he loses, he'll pick up a few more celebrity past it fighters, and collect the money. However, if Tommy loses that's his career probably over.

I think most people are praying that the circus ends at this point, but as I've been quite vocal about; I really don't have a lot of confidence in Tommy doing the job, and I'm afraid these types of match ups, and the hyping up of Jake Paul will continue long after this fight.

Dont know on what they do end up that kind of consideration on where they do really believe that this forum would have some influence in regardless on that fight outcome?

Dont know on what theyve thinking yet everything would really vary on the script that they are following on and knowing exhibition fights is for
pure entertainment then i dont really care on what would be the outcome.

Change of career has been the trend especially with boxing, we’ve seen many are winning on the boxing ring so technically its happening and we can’t stop it even if we want it since those guys are into contracts and they want money so bad so they’ll enter into a new field and try to win. With the Paul brothers, they came for a money that’s a clear one to me and if they want to take this seriously, let’s see them on a more professional ring.

I prefer to think of them in the same way I think of the Harlem Globetrotters, it is a team that no one takes seriously as we know they are doing their act for entertainment purposes but this in no way diminishes basketball or the NBA.

Professional boxing is still going to be a thing and we are going to enjoy the high level boxing we have always enjoyed, the difference will be that now we will have some exhibition fights to go along with it which are meant not to showcase the best the sport can offer but it will be just a form of entertainment for the public.

what the hell are you talking about? if you read the post or the article you'll realize that 192lbs that I mentioned in the post is the catchweight that has been set for the fight. the 189lbs I mentioned is the heaviest weight class Tommy fury fought in. Tommy fury's current weight class according to google is light heavyweight(178lbs). Tommy fury would have to gain 14lbs to reach the minimum weight for the fight. it may look small but that additional 6kg in weight could have a lot of effect on the way he fights. while jake paul(according to the article) has fought on a similar weight in his previous fights which is an advantage for him.

anyway, I am sure why I am making an effort to explain things. I don't even really care about the fight.

They will not sign the contract if they think its not fair in the first place so technically both boxer know the risk and they choose to fight for money and for their own pride. Fury is a good boxer too while Jake Paul is just a new one creating name on boxing field and it will be in favor to him considering his weight. If Fury is not ok with this, he should not accept the contract in the first place.

Every professional sport is about risking life. But they dont get equially paid, despite their sports are diffrently exhiting.

Btw, tickets for this clown fight are from 35$, for watching from Mars and 7,500$ for a first row. Cant find PPV price.

Anyone knows any fighter from their card? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Paul_vs._Tommy_Fury
Is this event is going to be totally boring or there is chance to see some solid boxing that evening?

The fact is MMA fighters gets paid more when you are starting, in boxing the lower card fighters just get around thousand bucks and no one is talking about that but the main event fighters gets the majority of the pay day. Even in MMA if you are headlining the card and if you are able to attract fans you will be earning millions.

Conor McGregor started the trend and every MMA fighter would be thankful to open up their eyes on how big they can earn.

Jake and Logan Paul is in the same position as they are earning in millions even during their first while some of the established boxers would take years and still they are not able to make the amount of money these two novices make.

Makes sense, probably worth putting a punt on Jake just because I haven't got absolute confidence in Tommy on the best days which have been few, and far between recently.

As for the weight minor difference there for Tommy, I don't think he'll struggle at that weight, after all both men are probably walking around much heavier than that, so higher limit while still being only a minor difference should benefit the cut rather than hinder performance on the night.

Good for Jake Paul because he is currently the underdog now in betting lines, but still I would bet on Fury and I just hope that the odds will swing in favor of Jake Paul so I don't have to take the Fury as the favorite.

there is a recent update on their fight. looks like jake paul has been given an advantage in the fight(I am not surprised really). according to the article, the weight catch for the fight will be 192lbs. which was similar/closer to the weights where jake paul previously fought. as for Tommy Fury, the heaviest weight he has fought in is 189lbs which is still 3 pounds lighter than 192lbs.

There's nothing to be afraid of because if you are a bettor, you can choose to bet on the "DRAW" and most likely the odds are high. Actually, the draw bet makes sense because Jake Paul is a superstar in this exhibition matches, so if Fury would not be able to convince the judges in this fight, Jake Paul will remain undefeated as a draw is likely be the verdict.

yups it is the fans that makes exhibition matches succeed because typical gamblers won't put their funds inside matches that can be manipulated .

but hope that this fight will end up with no DRAW decisions , i am scared more of the outcomes since some previous matches in exhibitions ended up Draw.
