Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury | BT PPV - 26 February 2023

[Glass Joe]

Not sure what fight it was, but Paul was blowing out of his bum after a few rounds and looked like the opponent held back.
Logic should tell you Fury should win quite easily. Can't see Fury taking money to dive too much in the family name.

[Kilburn]

Is there something of an assumption that Fury must have considerably more about him than he has shown so far in the ring (or needed to show), based on who his family is? That sounds like a very dicey one to me. Tommy really looks the part - until the first bell goes. From that point he starts to look pretty average all round.

If I were forced to bet I still think I’d have to pick Fury to grind out a hard fought decision, where he is completely focussed on winning no matter what, rather than looking good doing it (which I don’t think he will).

It’s based completely on what current pros say who know him and spar regularly with him.

Anyone can write that tbh.

I read about it this morning.

Don’t believe everything that’s online.

[samwbr]

Makabu v Jack might be a decent scrap.

Corner cutting really strong onions between rounds?

[jameswilson]

I told all my mates I fu cked a girl so hard I gave her two black eyes without touching her face.

Turned out she just had hives.

[handsofstone]

It's well documented that Tommy Fury's trainer is very well respected make up artist in horror b movies, guaranteed we won't see Tommy's corner in-between rounds, he'll be building up the swelling round by round, thankfully it'll only take 6/7 rounds to look legit , this is definitely plausible

[Kilburn]

The Colonel has picked Jake Paul to win.

But then he’s nearly 80.

[edb1000]

Both are dogshit, and yet I can't wait to see it. It must be like paying for only fans pics, so I'm told, Buyers remorse and all that.

Both my missus’ sisters have asked me how to watch this

Some melt from our village who’s been on a few reality shows has signed with ‘Misfits’ and my mates are talking about that too.

As bad as it sounds we need a serious injury to hopefully put a stop to all this crap.

I think what we actually need is for one of these "influencers" to actually face a journeyman. Nearly every single one would lose to a top 200 boxer with a 20-10 record. Once people realise how bad they actually are they might understand they've been played for fools. Look at how everyone now perceives Conor McGregor, the casuals loved him for his promotion but since he's been beaten again and again by people they've never heard of they think he looks a fool.

[Nightmare Roy]

Mate of mine, ex amateur fighter was debating buying it before, I Didn't say a word, gave him a funny look and he said I know you are right. Reckon he'll cave in and buy it. I'm 100% sticking to the radio

If I wanted his advice it’d be about frying chicken

Walk me through it please?

Yeah definitely. McGregor’s rise timed in well with the popularity rise of the UFC. He was a half decent puncher who could KO people who couldn’t box to save their lives. The amount of numpties picking him to beat Mayweather

As soon as people realised McGregor couldn’t wrestle and had a questionable gas tank he was fooked.

I wouldn’t say he ‘can’t wrestle’. Diaz is a BJJ black belt and khabib is the GOAT.

[Kilburn]

All the talk of a return at welterweight baffled me. Who could McGregor realistically get the better of in that division?

None of the top 15. Would be lucky to beat a top 10 lightweight aswell.

[Glass Joe]

mcgregor wouldnt beat anyone in the top 100 hes been shot for years in the UFC and hasnt beaten anyone decent since 2016

I'm reminded of when Tommy Burns told Philadelphia Jack O'Brien he would lose to him, only to say in the middle of the ring, "I got you where I want you," and proceeded to beat him over 20 rounds.

[DrDuke]

According to the poll, an upset occurred.

Yet even me picked it not accurate, since I voted for a KO by Tommy.

I remember, after Tommy had his first bouts, a lot was fancing the first puncher in the Fury family. Yet somehow his power potential disappeared in his recent bouts.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Hopefully that's the end of both of these clowns
