Jake Paul's only opening is that lunging jab. Most of the time he's not even looking when he throws it, so it's usually high and off-target. He misses a lot. His only other real attack is that looping right, which is also inaccurate. He connected solidly with it just a couple times. Mostly he just completely whiffed, once nearly throwing himself out of the ring. The only time he had Fury remotely in trouble was when Fury walked into a straight left.
He comes straight in; he doesn't seem to know how to work the angles at all. He doesn't seem to have any real combinations to speak of, other than that lunging jab followed by that looping overhand right. He threw a few body shots, but again, he didn't throw any combinations worth mentioning.
His defense is basically wrestling. Other than that, he just gets his hands up around his ears and looks at the floor. He doesn't even move his feet half the time; he just stands there blind waiting for Fury to hit him, then he reacts.
His footwork is amateurish. Often he's flatfooted, his movement is basic and not very quick. And again, he seems to only know how to go backwards and forwards.

This is what I saw from what little I've watched of his "fights" and training.
He's the type of straight up, flat footed "fighter" that Tyson made a career of knocking smooth TF out.
