The fight might not have been pretty, but it sure was good. The world heavyweight champion’s half-brother came in undefeated. But, should one take a look at Fury’s boxing history, one’ll see a long collection of no-hopers. What about Jake Paul? His last two fights were against Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva. Both boxers are former UFC champions.

So, what happened? Fury got the upper hand early on, crowding Paul, landing flurries, and moving effortlessly on the ring. His defense was just as good. He even managed to dodge Paul’s best punch, the overhand right, for eight rounds.

Both Jake Paul and Tommy Fury received warnings in the first round. Referee Hector Afu also took a point from both boxers, with Paul losing one in the fifth, and Fury in the sixth. Some have commented on the referee’s attitude throughout the entire fight, with some going so far as to claim he wanted to make himself a part of it.
