Jake Paul Phony Fights Discussion

No need to be embarassed. "Youtube" boxing is often more entertaining, like Aeson Gib vs that Austin Broom guy. Classic Boxing is becoming a duckfest to see who can duck who the most.

 

Let me preface this by saying I actually havent watched much of Fury, nor will I lol. This post is going off of the little I have seen though.

I was preferring to see Jake continue knock out MMA guys but I suppose that well has run dry.

I guess this was the logical next step but I expect this to be a pretty undynamic affair between two relatively mediocre fighters that leave the public scratching their heads as to why they tuned it to this.

You can create hype around a mediocre fighter that has a little power (Jake) by matching him with overmatched opponents he can knock out. But the excitement quickly fizzles when he fights someone near his level, and the rudimentary level of ability begins to dampen the fights they partake in. I expect this to be the case against Fury.

Fury may or may not be slightly more skilled than Jake, but it will be interesting to see if he has the chin and fortitude to withstand Jakes overrated but not valueless power. When Jake lands his right hand, if it rattles Fury then this becomes an 'interesting' fight. If Tommy smiles at it and takes it fine, I expect him to edge Jake in a very competitive and probably controversial decision fight where neither guy is good enough to stamp the fight, and their lack of quality actually hurts their hype going forward.

Hope Im wrong though and that Jake knocks Fury out or wins impressively.

 

Imagine if Tommy bottles it again and pulls out for the third time.

Only this time he does so the week of the fight and it leaves them with only days to find a replacement

But then big bro Tyson offers to step in for Tommy and the WBC give the go ahead to him to defend his HW belt against Jake

Now imagine Jake actually beat him and became the WBC HW champion of the world in just his 7th fight?

Wowzers! That would be huge.

 

If it lands flush, yes it it does.

If featherfist Steve Cunningham can drop Fury flat on his back with a solitary right hand a flush Jake right hand bomb might literally kill him

Cunningham couldn't even drop a glass-jawed MMA fighter who had been stopped something like 10 times or something

Jake has sparked out two MMA fighters and he dropped the other one

And he bashed up MMA fighter Platinum Mike Perry in the gym

 

This is like his 3rd or 4th PPV, so yes... obviously. He clearly has a ton of numbnut followers from YouTube who are willing to pay money to watch him do virtually anything.

 

This seems like an odd question for 2023. We are multiple fights deep into celebrity boxing being on ppv. These two have hundreds of thousands of followers that actively consume their content, I wager they will be able to get 100k of them or so to hand over money for the fight.
