One said: “He’s not for me, but you can’t deny the work he’s put in.”
Another commented: “Don’t like the guy but he actually has improved.”
A third fan added: “Jake is for real. People need to learn that now. He wasn’t a fighter, now he is, it can happen.”
However, some eagle-eyed fans have picked out an obvious tell sign which might put him at a disadvantage against Fury.
One person wrote: “He has a tell. Moves jerks his foot forward before a strike.”
Another agreed: “You know when he’s going to punch when his front foot moves. If he does that in a fight against a boxer he’ll get embarrassed.”
A third said: “Blatantly obvious with his stamp when jabbing. Defo find flaws in him, has one-punch power but timing beats speed and precision beats power ALL DAY.”
Ahead of next weekend’s fight, Paul’s coach BJ Flores has claimed that the American punches harder and has a higher boxing IQ than Fury.
Flores said to Sky Sports: “Tommy's got some really good attributes. He's got hand speed and he's been around the boxing ring for a long time, but I feel like he's in with just a better athlete.
“Jake punches harder, he's smarter, has a higher boxing IQ and I feel like he does a lot of things that will give Tommy a lot of problems.”
