Im expecting paul will opt for diaz next someone that cant box at all to rebuold his career. Im happy they didnt rig it. Stunned one judge gave it to paul who was shit most of the fight Judge was American… I’m shocked it’s allowed to have a judge from the nation of not just one of the fighters but also the promoter. It was shown up for the farce it is and why any serious boxer would never agree to it. Whatever happened if it went to points Jake Paul was always going to get at least a split decision to rant about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous Not sure why they dobt just have three judges that are from neither coubtry is beyond me. I seriously cannot fathom why he has such a big following.him and his brothers both unlikeable cretins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I think there was only about 2 or 3 big clean punches in the entire 8 rounds. I feel for anyone mugged out of £19.95. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that's why they had the weird points deductions for general rubbishness and holding. For free It was entertaining enough for the 8 rounds I suppose. A proper boxer would knock both of them into orbit in 2 rounds though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 The only thing that surprised me was the fact that one of the judges somehow scored it for Paul. I've seen a lot of people saying how well he did because he hung in there with a pro boxer for 8 rounds, but it really wasn't close at all (and Tommy Fury isn't a very good boxer). It just proves what we already knew - Tommy Fury still isn't really very good, and Jake Paul got dismantled when he finally fought an actual boxer. At least we know his level now, and I'm sure he'll go back to fighting older MMA fighters or Youtubers (unless he takes the rematch, which I'd advise against tbh).

To be fair the ref could have told them to work out of the clinch a few times to remind them that was an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 27, 2023 Moderator Share Posted February 27, 2023 Can't wait for Davis - Garcia and the return of real boxing. That promises to be a tremendous fight. I really like Tank (as dislikable as he may be) but I think there are signs he might be on the decline - I still fancy him to take that one though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it only count if they're really good at it? For me, it’s someone who has gone through the amateur ranks, racked up numerous fights and training camps. Then gone into the professional game. The post that you quoted was saying how it’s unfair on others these 2 getting a top 40 ranking. Jake Paul has fought no one of any stature for him to be given that accolade. I do t know Fury’s record to know if he has, but it just feels that off the back of a highly publicised fights they would be given the chance to jump up the rankings ahead of more deserving boxers. As for the bolded part, not even sure why you have mentioned that. But to be ranked top 40 I. The world, then yes I’d say they have to be really good.

He might not be very good, and his reality TV stint has elevated him to a status beyond his ability, but he's more of a boxer than people are giving him credit for. I have no idea what his amateur record was like, but give his pro career started before anyone knew who he was I assume it was legit to get him that far. I think there's a difference between Fury, a professional boxer who isn't that good; and Paul who is a YouTube star who has used his fame to get him fights at an elevated level Edited February 27, 2023 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not denying that. I don't know how the rankings work to be honest but that doesn't seem fair at all. Also the fact they invented a belt for that match last night is mental 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Don't really know anything about boxing but are you not supposed to move your feet in the ring? From watching a bit of the "highlights" Paul looked like the Villa version of Joleon Lescott. Looked frozen to the spot. Was he out of gas or it is how he normally fights?

This is whyTommy Fury won, he was just the better boxer. Paul boxes like you would on the street, without any real pro boxer skill and knowhow, zero natural ability. A quicker boxer would have put him to sleep within the first round. He could never handle a live one, I would like to see Chisora in with him, again not a great boxer, but would certainly scare the shit out of him, an make him think twice about a boxing career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Imagine if froch actually took the fight what he would do to paul. Jesus it would be a blood bath He should thank his lucky stars he never won because froch would murder him Fury talking about fighting logan next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 More posts in here on the Paul vs Fury "fight" than any real boxing match ever. Says a lot about modern society and shows that there will be a lot more of this type of thing the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
