, ‘He’s a show fighter’ – Jake Paul backed to beat Tommy Fury because Brit ‘can’t punch properly’

JAKE PAUL has been backed to beat Tommy Fury because the Brit is all for show – according to ex-UFC champion Luke Rockhold.

Paul is finally set to face Fury on February 26, who has been forced out of the grudge match twice before due to injury and US visa issues.

It will be the YouTuber-turned prizefighter’s first opponent with a recognised professional boxing record in his 6-0 career.

But Rockhold – who left the UFC this year – blasted 23-year-old Fury’s skills and predicted Paul to win the Saudi Arabia fight.

He told InsideFighting: “You gotta have a dog in you. He ain’t got no dog in him. I’ve watched him fight. He doesn’t even finish his punches.

“You know, he has no commitment to finishing it. He’s a show. He’s a show fighter. And I got Jake.

“And I don’t even think Jake has that much, like, he has commitment, at least. He doesn’t have patience.

“He doesn’t have that f***ing mentality when he gets in the game, I think he’s blinded. He’s got that deer in the headlights, but at least he throws.”

Paul, 26, beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in his last fight in October, his biggest win to date.

But Rockhold, 38, mocked the victory and called to fight the American after mutually parting with the UFC.

“If you want to fight a middleweight, I got hands. We can do anything we want. I really don’t care. I’d beat that guy in my sleep.”

“I got some freedom to do some things and as you can see, I like throwing hands these days.

Punching Techniques

Guard Techniques

A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this by using his legs.

Legs

Boxers must use their legs to defend themselves against kicks. When he receives a kick, he raises his leg and moves away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
