I hope no-one is paying to watch the 'fight' tomorrow. I'm presuming it is being held in a circus ring and not the boxing variety. Love Island v YouTube - pathetic. I'm watching, purely for the 'spectacle'. Just watched the weigh-in. We'll find out if either is a genuine contender tomorrow. Fury looks in tremendous shape to be fair to him - he really has to be knocking Jake Paul out.

Speaking of 'spectacle', Mayweather vs Chalmers is about to begin

I’m tempted to back Fury at the odds being offered, but part of me wonders if the whole thing is going to be one big rigged paid setup for Paul to win.

Very impressive from Badou Jack. 39 years old and didn't tire at all - just got better, culminating in the 12th round stoppage. I'm watching, purely for the 'spectacle'. Just watched the weigh-in. We'll find out if either is a genuine contender tomorrow. Fury looks in tremendous shape to be fair to him - he really has to be knocking Jake Paul out.

I’m tempted to back Fury at the odds being offered, but part of me wonders if the whole thing is going to be one big rigged paid setup for Paul to win. I'd imagine the bookies are basing it on the millions of social media followers who are backing Paul. Can't imagine Fury being willing to throw this fight.

Split decision is Pretty embarrassing for Tommy Fury all said

Better fight than I expected tbh, Paul better than given credit for.
Rematch clause will come into play now though

What a load of shite that was. Split decision is Pretty embarrassing for Tommy Fury all said Was only a Split as the American Judge was poor scoring. I had it at 76-73, same as the other two Judge’s - That included the point apiece deducted. The knockdown was debatable too as it was clear Fury’s foot slipped on sweat on the floor whilst absorbing the punch! Boxing (and MMA) really needs to sort it’s scoring out. Several high profile bouts have had poor scorecards in the last couple of years…

A pro boxer should be stopping Jake Paul.

I thought this was supposed to be a thread about boxing?

I wanted them both to lose, was hoping for a simultaneous knockout.

Can't imagine Dubois turning him over at this point. Really disappointed that we aren't going to get Fury/Usyk. Thought we were on for an undisputed heavyweight champion for sure, but its not going to happen.

Looks like Usyk agreed to take the 70/30 split in the end...
