Unbeaten cruiserweight Tommy Fury (10-0, 4 KOs), younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, won a six round majority decision over YouTuber KSI (1-1, 0 KOs) on Saturday night in front of 20,000+ at the AO Arena in Manchester, England. KSI went down in round one after a rabbit punch by Fury. No point taken. Fury was deducted a point in round two after another rabbit punch. Tedious fight with constant clinching by KSI, but Fury couldn’t take advantage of it. Scores were 57-57, 57-56, 57-56.
In a cruiserweight fight, Logan Paul, older brother of Jake Paul, early defeated MMA fighter Dillon Danis, who couldn’t box at all. Danis was deducted a point in round six for a ju-jitsu move. The bout ended when more than a dozen black-clad security guards jumped into the ring after more illegal moves by Danis. End result was a disqualification win for Paul. Big build-up for the fight, but Danis didn’t deliver. This was a sanctioned pro match.
Frickin pantomime.
Lol imagine being professional boxer & getting almost beaten by a green YouTuber.. I would be on suicide watch. Oh and #standwithisrael woohoo!
What you’d expect from a clown show circus
What a farce!
But people paid to watch it
Just here for the comments! Not paying to watch this tripe!
Tommy Fury could have boxed instead but he did win this fight no matter what. Time for Tommy to move away from the circus which made him millions and to focus on his boxing career.
It’s going to be very hard for him to step away from the circus if people keep on paying to see. He makes way better money for this than he does boxing. Shame, shame, shame.
Tommy Fury isn’t going anywhere in the heavyweight division. He’s barely a step above these YouTube guys. If I was him, or was managing him, I would try to get a fight with Logan Paul. I wouldn’t pay to watch it, but a lot of people will for some reason. Why take tougher fights for less money if you don’t have to; especially when you just aren’t that good.
Im sure it was a mistype, but Tommy is not a heavyweight. I think he plans to stick to CW if and when he gets back to boxing.
Judging in fake boxing is just as bad as real boxing. Lol
LMFAO, good point!
Fury would be stupid to move away from this show. Make the money while you can because his boxing career will be short. He is terrible especially for someone who says he has boxing since he was a kid.
Need to watch Tszyu to get the Fury fight out of my head.
Fortunately you had real judges at the circus. If they had a real ref there would have been a warning and not a point deduction. All that aside KSI does not understand how rounds are scored. He also didnt understand that you can get a point deduction and still lose the round meaning its not a 10-8, its a 9-9 and I think that’s how the round with the point deduction was scored. KSI just jumping in and out throwing wild shots does not win a round. He won round one because Tommy is not amateur and let KSI get rid of the nervous energy. I think Ariel Helwani did a dis-service to himself by not correcting or saying anything truthful to KSI. Ive been on the fence with him because I wasnt sure if he was truthful or sided with people who pay him, but he had his moment and dropped the ball. He didnt once say to KSI the fight was close, the landed shots were equal or anything. He allowed KSI to cry about the loss. Things like this feed these pretend fighters to believe they did something that they didnt. I think the biggest waste of the night was my watching this fight, but I wanted to prove something to a friend who fell for the Logan Paul hype. Ive said that Jake is becoming a real boxer, but Logan is far from it. He has a look, but throws arm punches and thats garbage. I said he could throw his crappy punches for ten rounds and not knock out Danis and I was right. I also said Danis just wanted to show Logan wasnt a real boxer and I think this fight exposed Logan to the few people who thing he is. Damn I cant believe I watched this mess, but in the end its exactly what I expected. FYI if you didnt catch it Tommy is looking for another payday. In one breath he said Im done with this stuff then said bring on either of the Pauls. I understand Jake since that will be a real boxing event, but Logan will be a circus show on this same platform. It will be a much easier payday.
Who tf is watching and paying for this??!?
I watched it on my phone for free while gaming lol. I watch all fights for free actually. The real question is, who tf pays for fights?!
No way I would watch these circus fights, not even Fury vs Ngannou and for free.
Apparently a poster here by the name of Michael…
Sucker born every minute and I’m one of them for watching this trash. Danis proved he is a pussy of the highest calibre and Tommy is a joke
They drew 20k for this event ? Wow say what you will but that’s a huge crowd.
For all you boxing fans complaining about this farce, we’ll congratulations, because you’re the cause…you’re the same people who ruined actual boxing by not buying ppv’s, watching crack streams, and not supporting the sport as a whole. Great job! Boxing’s biggest problems are the fans themselves. Non boxing fans are supporting these events, are paying for it, and as result some of these boxers have had to shift to the circus to support their families. Can’t say I blame them. It’s all about the money…100% of the time. Just like every other professional sport. Too bad actual boxing fans won’t support their own sport. Cheap ass boxing fans. Get a job so you can afford an $80 PPV and quit whining.
“Get a job so you can afford an $80 PPV and quit whining.”
– Loser comment of the thread so far……
Michael, if we go by what you’re saying, then people aren’t paying either. Why would they pay for this garbage when they aren’t willing to pay for real competition?
Good thing I missed it…….
KSI should have had points deducted for continuously holding. The problem was since he was also the promoter who pays the referee, that wasn’t going to happen.
To be honest if I was Tommy I don’t think I would step away from the circus. I’d cream off every dollar I could then make a choice… Give real boxing a go or ride off into the sunset with my fortune. He’s in a very fortunate position. Good for him.
Very fortunate indeed! He’s got the look and he’s got the Fury name. And he’s just good enough to eke out decision wins against fake celebrity boxers. He wouldn’t last long on the world class stage, though.
Just how long will this bullshit last? I thought it would have a short run, but looks like I was way off.. It’ll run till the suckers decide to stop buying it, I guess.
Bo Reno, as long as people are willing to pay for it. The consumers are the problem not the performers.
Those who watched the fight know why KSI wanted six rounds. Could you imaging if he went eight like Jake Paul and Tommy Fury did? KSI had two rounds in him them it was just jump in with a swing and grab for the rest of the fight. I’ve watched boxing for 40 years and its interesting to see these fads pop up here and there. Its not the first time we have seen this, but they are getting a lot more money and interest this time around. KSI likes to say nobody fights like him, but Id point to Sam Soliman. For those who are actually fans of boxing Soliman had that all out style, but was better conditioned and could go like that for twelve rounds. I remember when he faced Ronald Wright. The commentators actually condemned him early on for his all out style. They said it was amateurish and he would gas out in a few rounds. After about eight non stop rounds they were finally saying he might win in. The style wasn’t normal, but he was able to keep up. Just a fight I was thinking about when I watched the first two rounds tonight.
Crock of shit!
Fury was absolutely dreadful against a smaller youtube fighter and should have lost that dismal clichfest. If Fury fights at British title level he would get massacred. Useless boxer
I want to watch it YouTube ..guess this is putting YouTube boxing ti shame according to fury ..decision wind
“TNT” couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag. He has the KO power of a sausage roll all his nonsense about what he learned from Jake Paul. I’d fight Tommy & I’m 51
All the Armchair fanboys complaining on here are the same people who probably pay to watch Wilder vs Bum or Mayweather vs Logan Paul.
Go and figure!!
Paul, I don’t but those same people that do pay are the reason this clown show will not go away. Only way this will go away is if people
Stop buying this trash. Or if it is going to happen, keep it out of legit fight websites like this one.
This is my last post on this fight, but is about the main and co main event. Did anyone else see the early non warning point deductions in both rights suspicious? In a six round fight an early deduction is major and fight altering issue. I dont know if this was planned to give his bosses (KSI and Logan) the advantage, but it would look bad in a real boxing event. Ill also mention that Tommy is still a new boxer and based on comments I think people are judging him as a full pro boxer. Its a little unfair since he has so few pro fights. His name is hurting him and people are expecting too much. On a final side note I like to debate boxing and understand real fans like different parts of boxing and dont always agree. With that said the whole thumbs down with no comment seems silly. It might upset those younger people, but Im 50 and been watching boxing for 40 years. I could care less about the thumbs up or down, lets debate the matches.
Genuine boxing fan here! I have two teenage children who have no interest in the sport, but to them ksi and logan paul are big stars. I paid for the event as I did with the last one and I got to watch a whole boxing show with them. Was it any good by usual standards of course not. But most of the under card fights were worth watching and actually entertaining. What I’m trying to get at is these events bring millions of people to boxing who otherwise would have no interest surely that is good for the sport? I understand the hate towards it and this show was probably the worse one I’ve seen if you don’t like it don’t watch it. Feel bad for tommy he had a bad night against an opponent who just kept grabbing all night.
I’ve been watching boxing 70 yrs, have seen many stinkers over the years, but at least I didn’t pay for ’em. I did buy a PPV event once, several years back, legit fights, and I dozed off on it.
Can’t fault Logan. He played his part. He threw shots, came forward and meets the basic requirements for a novice pro.Another tough talker in D.D. who was all talk, no show. What a loser, they should heavily fine him. No I didn’t pay btw. Hightlights are great and lengthy
If you’re a boxer and you “survive” a YouTuber….you should quit.
