Comments Thread For: Photos: Jake Paul, Tommy Fury - Heated Face To Face in Saudi Arabia

[BritishBoxing92]

Mr YouTube Sensation vs Mr Love Island Star....

In Saudi Arabia off all places...

Heh it will draw the casual viewers attention and there is a clear animosity between both fighters so it should be an entertaining bout...

or it could turn into a circus depending on what happens..

This fight is misleading and was a bit of a stitch up. Had a fight scheduled and then late replacement for this guy who is 15-1 (12 KOs). 33 year old full blown cruiserweight and an african cruiserweight champion at that. Not a fight that an up and coming early 20s fighter would usually be facing before he's had 10 fights. Factor in that the guy also came to fight but didn't lay a proper glove on Fury. It was a horrible fight to take even if it was an exhibition. Then you've also got the punk ringside in your ear all fight trying to put you off. That whole thing was set up to make Fury look bad. Analyse that video and the fight as a whole and it was a decent display by Fury.

If I were looking for something to bash Fury with then maybe his inability to get a light-heavy out of there before 8 rounds in Bocianski (last fight).

Bold is an excuse, Floyd would literally have conversations with the commentators during fights.

For the video, it's showcasing the guy is basically a large version of Karen Chukhadzhian.

Maybe it's great marketing but real boxing, no. Boxing at it's core is still about best vs best and though many fights today are mismatches they're always followed by the post fight call out to the better opposition. Make no mistake, the call out is the lifeline, it's the anticipation of the eventuality of the best fighting the best and THAT anticipation is what keeps fans tuned in. Unfortunately since 2005 the best vs the best have been allowed to marinate to the point of ripening and rotting.....but that's for another conversation.

I'm sorry, but just because they're wear gloves does not make this the sweet science. At it's core what we have here is Reality TV, the spectacle of Kim kicking the shyt out of Marsha Brady. Fair from boxing this may be entertaining fight but boxing???? NO!. Promoters love it because they'd promote just about anything for money, but that's what they do. On the other hand, a real boxer recognizes this as the sideshow cash grab and a mockery of the art form they dedicated their lives to.

Lets be real, professional boxing is almost NEVER about the best fighting the best anymore. “Real boxers” can blame themselves for endless tune ups and other fights nobody gives a **** about.

Paul vs Fury is intriguing. All you boomer haters can go kick rocks.

Do you know what, I completely forgot about Tommy in my last dish round up.

You might know, but he was on a show called Love Island, a reality show. Someone there asked him what he'd give himself out of 10, and he said "7". I saw loads of girls on Twitter saying he was being modest because "he knows he's a 10".

I dunno if I'd go that far, but he was definitely being modest.
