Jake Paul left no doubt when he dispatched Tyron Woodley in the sixth round of a projected eight-round fight. After a largely uneventful six rounds, in which both fighters seemed to spend more time clinching than boxing, Jake Paul landed a single, clean right hook on Tyron Woodley. Tyron Woodley dropped his lead hand and “The Problem Child” struck.
Jake Paul belted Tyron Woodley clean in the head, sending the former UFC champion collapsing into the canvas. It was by far the cleanest strike of the fight, perhaps the only truly clean strike landed over the six rounds.
BREAKING: Jake Paul KNOCKS OUT Tyron Woodley
Although Tyron Woodley emerged far busier in round one than he had seemed in the first fight, his energy quickly abated. Paul made use of a long jab to attack Woodley’s body, but neither fighter was clearly ahead.
In the second round, the referee told both fighters “Yall doin’ too much holdin,” a sentiment echoed by the booing crowd. As the fight wore on, with Woodley and Paul repeatedly entering a clinch as both advanced rather than exchanging blows.
The only major moment of the fight came when Tyron Woodley opened a cut up on Jake Paul’s forehead with an accidental elbow. Blood spilled into Paul’s eyes, but Tyron Woodley failed to capitalize on his opponent’s impaired visibility.
In the fourth round, in the midst of yet another clinch, Tyron Woodley let his wrestling instincts take over, executing a textbook takedown. Tyron Woodley being reprimanded for failing to box is a neat summary of both Paul fights thus far.
Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley left nothing in doubt with their rematch. The former UFC welterweight champion lost via decision in a controversial upset last time around, but with an extra $500K on the line if he can knock out his social media star opponent, Woodley will be looking to finish things early.
Tyron Woodley has been riding a devastating losing streak in recent years, which includes four consecutive losses in the UFC and his debut boxing loss against Paul. Jake Paul, on the other hand, has never lost a professional boxing match.
Although Woodley is undoubtedly the best striker Jake Paul has ever faced, the YouTuber-turned-athlete has yet to face a professional boxer in the ring.
His 4-0 record is less impressive than it seems, however, with Paul facing criticism from many in the combat sports community for failing to fight actual boxers in the ring. His winning record, which includes three knockouts, came against a fellow YouTuber, a basketball player, wrestler Ben Askren, and Tyron Woodley.
When Tommy Fury pulled out of his scheduled fight with Jake Paul due to a brutal chest infection, Tyron Woodley jumped at the opportunity to set things right. This rematch is one of the most hotly anticipated combat sports of the year, and may prove to be the former champ’s saving grace.
