    Fury should be the comfortable favorite in this fight.

    Props to Jake for finally fighting a boxer.

    Official betting odds:

    Fury -175
    Paul +125

    Fury is nearly a 2-1 favorite. It may get wider as we get closer to the fight.

    Tommy Fury is awful, smothers his work and has only fought 4 rounders against horrible competition. He couldn't knockout a lightweight mma fighter who's been previously stopped.

    No one has any idea how good Tommy Fury actually is. We know he can’t be that good otherwise he would have stepped up from fighting complete stiffs by now.

    So long as this isn’t a fixed fight this will be AJ intriguing fight

    A professional boxer who has only fought complete stiffs and hasn’t stepped up above complete stiffs his entire career.

    That is why this is intriguing because we all know Tommy is very poor and even struggles against the journeyman who are paid to lose against him

    Tommy is at least from a boxing family, he is dedicated to the sport and he has professionals with him who give him advice, so Tommy will definitely win...

    As tommy will likely make around 10 times more than his previous biggest purse then anything is possible as the result. If its 'legit' then its nothing other than a Fury win

    Looks like lots of you Americans don’t realise how terrible Tommy is yet then.. you’ll find out on fight night, Paul’s matchmakers know what they’re doing

    I'm 100% sure that any limited (but tough) guy who is actually the professional boxer would beat all the sh1t from Jake Paul in a couple of rounds. Guys like Serhiy Radchenko for example

    I think this is a misreading of that fight, and of Paul's last fight

    I agree with what John Fury said. The MMA wrestler that Fury fought was awkward, because he was just doing everything he could to not get knocked out. He wasn't boxing. He was just running in awkwardly from weird angles tying Fury up and preventing any clean shots landing. Easy win for Fury but knocking that guy out was harder than it looked because he was so awkward. When you watch Fury's other fights, yes he's not amazing, but he's an actual boxer and he has some skill. Paul is trying to be an actual boxer so that will suit Tommy a lot more, he will be easier to hit than the MMA guy by a long way

    Now compared to Paul's last fight. They purposefully picked a 40 year old man who is known for throwing barely any punches. They planned to try and win that one on points by just throwing and landing more. Even then, Woodley just had to throw more shot, but he just didn't and the Paul matchmakers knew he couldn't. Even still, Paul was essentially knocked down by 1 big shot, the ropes kept him up. This shows Paul's chin isn't that good. I think Tommy lands on him quite regularly and knocks him out as he tires

    Fury to win by KO in round 6 or 7

    I have no interest in this fight between two D list celebs from Youtube and Love Island. I'd rather watch reruns of Celebrity Deathmatch.

    But if Fury loses this, he needs to change his last name, having someone bear the name of Fury and lose to Jake Paul is unacceptable.

    Look at Tommy's opponents and how fast they were knocked out from top guys.It's interesting to see that Fury is always the guy who knocked them out faster then anyone, sometimes compared to top 20, top 50 boxers.While they are not danger for him, some of them are good at losing most of their fights only with UD, but not with Fury.What i want to say, we don't know how good are his defensive skills, but his offense is strong.Not sure Paul would get only UD losses to top real boxers like some of Fury's opponents...If it's time to pressure Paul and make a real fight, we will see the KO early.

    Woodley hits way harder than the light hitting Taylor who got knocked out by another lightweight. Paul won clearly on the scorecards. It wasn't as close as some people on here made that fight out to be.

    Tommy Fury doesn't know how to even cut off the ring properly. He smothers everything he throws (in all his pro fights). He's only done 4 rounders and he's relatively light hitting for a guy of his size.

    Tommy Fury landed clean shots on Taylor and could not make a dent on him. He just doesn't have good power. I don't think knocking out guys who barely train in boxing gyms and are part timers with 0-29 records is that special even if he's knocking them out a bit faster. He's got 2 kos and 2 tkos.

    He has skill? What skill? What does he do which is actually good? Throw weak combos up close then smother his work so his punches look even more ineffective?

    John Fury is more wrong than he is right. He's only got a platform to talk about boxing because of Tyson.

    I don't think Paul getting hurt by Woodley shows he's got a weak chin considering Woodley is a big puncher and is explosive.

    How good is Tommy Fury's chin? Nobody knows because he's fought nobody.

    The lightweight Tommy fought Taylor got knocked out by Logan Paul in sparring.

    The only thing Tommy does is throw wild hooks, more forward and tie up. His jab is pretty weak and his power isn't very good for someone of his size. It's ok knocking out part time boxers who stack shelves at tesco. That's not particularly impressive at all.

    Also, if someone gets knocked down it doesn't mean they have a bad chin.

    Woodley is probably better than all the guys Tommy Fury has fought. Did any of them have winning records? I think one of them did and it went the distance. He beat Jordan Grant on points who was 2-0 in a four rounder.

    You say he picked a 40 year old man in Woodley yet Tommy Fury fought a lightweight with a losing record in boxing and is considered a journeyman in mma. It's good to be less biased and it will be funny if Tommy Fury loses this fight because the boxing snobs will be up in arms considering he's a ''real boxer''. When in reality he has a similar amount of experience in the pro ranks as Jake Paul.

    It's easy to be sympathetic if you're a relative and act like because of the fighter's unorthodox approach is the reason why he could not be koed. It's a convenient excuse. I think realistically Tommy just doesn't punch that hard.

    Taylor is a light hitting lightweight who was much shorter and smaller than Tommy yet he couldn't even put a dent in him.

    Tommy Fury the guy who's supposedly knocking bigger guys out in sparring couldn't hurt a novice who's natural fighting weight is much lower than his.

    I think there's more question marks surrounding Tommy than Jake Paul. We might assume Jake Paul's stamina is bad based on the Woodley fight. We don't really know how good Tommy's stamina is because he's only gone four rounders against part time boxers with big losing records with some of them not even winning a fight.

    Fury will land on Paul but he will get hit back. Paul may hit harder than Tommy Fury anticipates. He might underestimate Paul because he isn't a real boxer after all.

    I don't care who wins but it's a bit funny that some believe Fury is better than he actually is simply because he's a ''real boxer'' when the context should be taken into account when judging his boxing ability.

    I think some think he'll win easily by knockout because he might throw more punches rapidly than Jake and in turn should hurt Jake in the process whilst he's tired. The opposite could actually happen and he'll blow his load trying to KO Paul on route to being knocked down.

    The only thing i think Fury does better than Paul is he knows how to feint. Taylor was always moving off balance and he still couldn't catch him hard enough. He also had a huge reach advantage.
