So I watched the Paul/Fury fight.
First, Paul has improved a great deal but he's still low level professional level as a fighter. Fury has talent, but has a rep for not taking fighting very seriously. I think he took this fight pretty seriously and it showed. He was the better fighter, but Paul does have good power with his right. The problem is he spends the entire fight hunting a knockout with that right. He's one dimensional.
Because of Paul's popularity there's probably going to be controversy because of the point deductions, announcers leaning Paul's way on the decision, and Paul losing despite landing the knockdown in the 8th, but I had Fury winning a close fight.
All in all it was a solid fight and an entertaining card overall. Both guys in the undercard fight (Makabu and Jack) wipe the floor with Fury and Paul.
