Jake Paul thinks the judges got it wrong in his split decision loss to Tommy Fury.
Paul (6-1) suffered his first boxing loss Sunday in Saudi Arabia when he came out on the wrong end of 74-75, 76-73 and 76-73 scorecards against his rival Fury (9-0). It was a competitive fight, but heavy referee involvement and point deductions for both men interrupted the flow.
Although much of the fight didn’t seem to be going his way, Paul almost pulled off a stunning comeback when he knocked Fury down in Round 8 heading into the decision. Two of three judges went against him, and even though he accepted the result, Paul’s immediate reaction was that it wasn’t accurate.
