5 reasons why Jake Paul might upset Tommy Fury

#2. Tommy Fury may struggle with Paul's style of fighting

If Tommy Fury had trouble against Anthony Taylor, surely a fighter primarily focused on standup like Jake Paul will be even more challenging. Since Taylor mainly focused on aspects of MMA prior to making his boxing foray, the crisp jab of Paul could spell trouble for Fury when the two meet.

Early in his fight against Anthony Taylor, Fury tended to dip his head into his opponent's left side during exchanges. Jake Paul is more calculated than many of his fans give him credit for. Following the adversity he faced in the Woodley contest, the superstar would correct his pattern in the fourth round and go on to win several rounds thereafter.

Tommy Fury is a mobile striker. However, the speed and pivot of his strikes inhibit his ability to absorb damage when he's off-balance. In his most recent boxing appearance, 'TNT' struggled to inflict the type of damage that Paul is known for. Following the contest, a clear power disparity seemed to exist between the two boxers set for a December shootout.

With such a big moment abound, Tommy Fury will need to be defensively sound against a power-puncher like Jake Paul. The United Kingdom native will face his most high-profile opponent to date and his general approach to defense will be critical in this contest.

#1. Jake Paul sets traps

Jake Paul's boxing toolbox has steadily improved over time. In his Triller boxing match against Ben Askren, the 24-year-old utilized a sneaky jab to the body. However, it was the feints of Paul that changed the momentum of the fight within seconds.

The performance, which lasted just under 90 seconds, only underlined the potency of his hands. The young upstart would fake low and strike high and trip up the storied former champion. Following the knockout performance, it was abundantly clear that 'The Problem Child' was ready for a massive step-up in competition.

Once again, Jake Paul proved he's not just a YouTube sensation with his performance against Tyron Woodley. Despite enduring adversity, Jake Paul had enough pop behind his punches to stave Woodley off and secure the victory.

While the fight lacked action, according to many viewers, the pay-per-view event ended up being successful with a projected 500K pay-per-view units sold. After seeing Jake Paul and Tommy Fury fight on the same card in August, the thud behind the superstar's striking is reason enough to believe he can get the job done in December.
