    I feel others are reading into this differently. I see it as a boxer who isnt very good at all just beat a youtube who was even worse.
    The ref sucked the points off twice was sketchy I didnt think either deserved to lose punches. Fury did a clear rabbit punch earlier but jake fully turned around so meh.

    I felt the first point off was going to be made a 9-9 round and the second a 10-8 for paul because of the fix being in.
    As for the knockdown I thought it was a jab and off balance see those all the time. If it wasn't ruled I'd have not really cared either.


    another thing is I rarely do this but when a round starts with a jab off balance knockdown. and then the other guy easily wins the round.
    it can actually be ruled a 10-9 round only for Paul. I hate to make 10-8 rounds into 10-9 but this one had a clear case. It wasnt a cleaner or more effective punch it was a basic jab when fury was moving his feet square.

    Fury is very limited and Paul won probably 2 rounds and I dont think round 8 was a 10-8 round.
    Paul shouldnt fight again at this level but he will because it's a circus.

    Still baffled based on their previous performances how anyone would have picked JP. But all due respect to JP for stepping in with a pro, making good scratch and bringing boxing to the masses.

    Judging from your nonstop whining on here, I'd say at least about 99.9% less bitter than you constantly are.

    You actually think I'm a fan of Jake Money Paul?

    I was a fellow gypsy distant cousin of Tyson Fury who was raised on the roughest caravan site in Europe in one of my previous incarnations on here. I bet you believe that one too you miserable old sourpuss :lol:

    Because tommy isnt very good either. Jake Paul lost to a hand picked opponent and he talked a lot of trash. I don't think Fury gets to any kind of level but he can do love island and maybe take over the gimmick boxing. I barely know who Jake Paul even is. And I used to see tommy online as a mouth teen that posted mirror selfies and acted like a chav. If Tommy famous enough in the UK to be a circus fighter?

    I picked Paul to win because over the years he's improved, in every fight he got better and he packed a mean right hand. I thought Tommy was going to fold under the pressure, but he impressed Me with his composure. He held like crazy though(should have been docked a point or 2), but he won fair and square. Maybe Paul can adjust in the rematch, but he's going to have to stop playing games and really take this boxing gig serious if that's what he wants to do. But full Credit to Tommy Fury.

    He is kind of effed now though. Can't go back to fighting Youtubers, retired basketball players and ancient MMA wrestlers now. He has been dogged to fight a REAL boxer, now he did and got handled. Now Jake knows that pro boxers can not only see his telegraphed winging right hand, but they can also take it too. I don't rate Fury very high so really what can Paul do? You can't fight some 3- 27 bum now and expect that garbage to be PPV. In a rematch Tommy gets more aggressive and we likely don't see as incompetent of a ref in there.
    You ready to go night night Jakey?

    Agreed, he's reached the pinnacle of his career, he should retire off this and be on the next run of whatever **** passes for TV these days.

    Because Tommy Fury looked like trash against cans with massively losing records, feather fisted and no amateur career behind him? Are you serious? Of course JP was rightly the favourite

    I think he was deducted a point later to be fair.

    Tommy Fury, held an 8-0 record with four knockouts headed into Sunday’s fight, which sounds impressive on its face. However, his eight opponents, held a combined 24-176-5 record. Fury is about as much as a real boxer a Jake Paul. :ohno

    Tommy Fury and Jake Paul are limited but somehow Tommy Fury looked more like a boxer and was more mobile not to mention the pressure he was under all this time but he managed to win...
