Lol at anyone even mentioning YouTubers
Jake Paul better than 50% of away fighters in UK shows
Million percent agree. Not suggesting he’s Sugar Ray Cassius Clay Jones Jnr the third. But he’s not awful and completely useless by any stretch.
Some MMA fans I know say Woodley is going to absolutely pan him…. I’m not so sure .
I’m a big MMA fan but Paul is 20 lbs bigger than him and is better technically at boxing. Woodley has a good punch for MMA but that rarely translates to boxing. He lost his last 4 MMA fights and, in some of them, looked gunshy. His background is amateur wrestling and whilst he had a few highlight reel KOs he’s had more fights go the distance than finishes. He’s a better version of Ben Askren.
I don’t see anything than another comfortable win for Paul.

Didn’t have any idea what Woodley weighed in at. I’ll be honest I assumed he was same weight (give or take) as Paul. Begs the question how it gets sanctioned - boxing debutant fighting someone 20lbs heavier . Guess money talks.
I think Paul gets panned for being a youtuber and making huge money. But , as far as boxing ability is concerned. For a 3-0 novice he’s not that bad.

The size difference is a bit of a myth. woodly cuts massive weight. will be 190+

Right. Also if he walked into your amateur gym and did he’d only had 3 fights you’d be bloody impressed.

Not really. The US doesn't even really care about their own top HW, let alone no personality DDD. Seems pointless boxing on some rubbish show hardly anyone there will watch and be on at 3am here

Who wins in your opinion
Don’t know if your asking about the Woodley fight or the fury fight.
Jake Vs Woodley I think Jake is the favourite but only slightly. Woodley is fit, athletic, fast twitch, comfortable being punched in the head, has power. But he can’t box, gets all his Kos with a wrestlers overhand right, common in mma, very hard to land on boxing when people know it’s your only shot… if he is taking this serious, loses a bit of weight, and learns to box he could definatly win..
Jake vs fury is interesting too, I’d back fury although with not much confidence. Both are celebs first boxers second at this point in there lives. I have to think tommy has been around it long enough to learn enough to comfortably outbox Jake, but he is pretty bad. There is a reason they are putting him in with trash…
Personally I’d like a tournament. Both Paul bros, ksi, tommy fury, John Parker, and Marcelo wilder…. Be the highest paid shittest standard tournement of all time…. Winner fights canelo after a bottle of tequila.

Hi mate
I was asking about Woodley Paul. Few of my MMA mates are adamant Woodley smokes his boots and that Paul is garbage . I can’t comment on Woodley, but Paul isn’t as bad as people think: he’s not the second coming , but he’s not some YouTube dickhead either. Interesting to hear your view.
Also agree with your opinion on Fury v Paul . Not a gimmie for Fury at all: pickled my head when a video was posted by someone in the Fury camp of them
Both hitting the bag. The video was split in half so you could see both. The implication was that Fury looked like a world beater and Paul like a Johnny whopper. Wasn’t much in it.
Shameful thing is, Fury won’t come out and just say: I want to fight you because of the money. Instead there’s implicated excuses and Walter Mitty reasons .
Say it as it is

could he afford paying a journeyman for a 40-36, pretty sure he could! bam, suddenly he's a 'legit' boxer, matching up close in record quality with the great reality tv and social media sensation, tommy fury

Based on my opinion and the fact I watch every televised show that's available in the country, I'm not Paul's biggest fan but it is what it is, at least he has the decency to come in shape, which is more than I can say for a lot of journeymen, as for the woman away fighters....

It actually makes perfect sense for Warren. This way, he gets Showtime to pay the bills for the fight and he doesn’t even have to deal directly with Don King.
Assuming Dubois wins, he comes back with this regular belt thing and he gets to market him as AJs mandatory etc.
