[Boxing] Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley

[aioc]

it will be more entertaining if the rules will be changed to UFC so they can do all the kicking and taking down after the boxing. this will determine whether Paul can adopt the MMA settings. forcing UFC fighters to fight in boxing is just taking it to his favor so the rematch at least will be different.  that should be the kind of entertainment they hype for an exhibition. 

I don't think Paul will agree he is a boxer never train like an MMA and he likes it this way because he knows MMA fighters are good at takedowns, he doesn't want to see his face mess up while an MMA is on top of him pounding him, boxing is a safe route, you'll not get pounded if you go down and you'll get a mandatory 8 counts, MMA is more dangerous than boxing you can break your bones, and your face smash.

This is another, in my eyes, stupid fight that nobody is really waiting about. Especially as Woodley is not so famous but as others mention it is all about the money. Both Paul and Woodley can take home a nice pay check. Chances are maybe slim, but I hope Woodley can KO Paul.

I wouldn't say that Woodley is not famous, he made a name for himself when we have at his prime and becoming a MMA champion. But now that he is done with the sports, most of the time this pro fighters have one last itch to scratch or at least wanted to make money. So he step up and accept Woodley's challenge. Of course he is not the A side here but probably the money is good that he can't resists. So even if he losses here, he can made good money in the end.

There is a reason he went with boxing then MMA. It's simply that there are much more unsatisfied MMA fighters then there are boxers. And those unsatisfied fighters might want to dip their toes into boxing that is more lucrative. That narative has been going on for some time now.

I can't believe we have another fight like this, we know the outcome for sure, and  Jake Paul will again win the fight against a former MMA figher. I even think that the previous one is more interesting than this one, but  Jake Paul proves that he is the king of exhibition fights.

Nah,  Jake Paul gonna end this fight early, question is, will this get the same amount of viewers compared to the last fight of  Jake Paul?

Tyron Woodley was once a UFC champion, defended that title four times, but had lost to a former welterweight Kamaru Usman (current champ) by decision. You can be "not so famous" and be a champ. The only disadvantage of Woodley is that he is more wrestler than striker.

Jake Paul will again win the fight against a former MMA figher.

According to wiki, Woodley is still an active fighter.

Tyron Woodley was a NCAA Division I Wrestler but he had knockout power in his hands when he was rising in ranks in the UFC and then after becoming a champion we started to see him fight patiently and his explosive power were not in display and now he is on a loosing streak but he lost against world class fighters and i believe that Tyron Woodley can strike against Jake Paul.

He can strike, but the question here is technique, I can see all the advantage going to Jake Paul in a boxing arena. Maybe we can see him play and toy with Woodley early and test his boxing skills and then go for the knockout in later rounds. There's no way that an former UFC champion, and then way past his best years can win against a semi pro boxer like Paul here. Obviously, this fight is for the money and huge publicity for Jake Paul again.

This will be embarassing for the UFC if Tyron Woodley loses through a knockout. Ben Askren also did something similar. Also, any UFC fan knows that Tyron Woodley is angry with the UFC.

I predict that Tyron will make certain that he will have himself lying down in the 1st round. Tyron and Ben are also best friends from college wrestling. Are they working together hehehe?

Definitely a big embarrassment, they have two former top fighters in the UFC getting beaten by Jake Paul if that happens, UFC will have then have to pick one of their rosters to take on Jake Paul, so they can even up the score, but it will be embarrassing for Tyron Woodley he is a former champion getting beaten by an amateur, Jake Paul always has nothing to lose fighting these fighters from UFC.

I agree, that's why Dana doesn't want his current roster to fight in this so called exhibition hype fight. Woodley and Askren are no longer have contracts as far as I know.

I predict that Tyron will make certain that he will have himself lying down in the 1st round. Tyron and Ben are also best friends from college wrestling. Are they working together hehehe?

The other similarities is that they will obviously got some paycheck since they are no longer fighting in UFC. Someone has to make a living even this retired UFC fighters.

You think that Woodley would eat Pauls punch on purpose and is there only for the cheque? Compared with Askren, he can move at least. Check out this swing https://www.instagram.com/p/CN1Fx8jB4au/. That can chop down Paul easily.

Tyron Woodley used to be a great fighter but he is now fading and he will go a to kind of fight that is not his forte or strong point, he will find himself lost on how to deal with Jake Paul who is improving very much on his last two fights, Jake Paul will be the strong favorite here because of his last two fights and Woodley's last four fights, I don't know what Woodley is trying to prove he is old to change course.

[TopTort777]

Jake Paul will be the strong favorite here because of his last two fights and Woodley's last four fights, I don't know what Woodley is trying to prove he is old to change course.

Jake Paul last two fights were against youtuber and a former ufc fighter/wrestler, who is not good at striking. But Woodleys last looses were against professional athletes, not amatures.
There is chance that Woodley is in short of money (debts and aliments)  and is there only for the cheque.
Woodley is not old. He is 39 only. You know, Randy Couture became ufc heavyweight champ at the age of 43. Age is just a number.

I don't know why the OP consider this boxing fight to be easy cherry pick for Jake Paul because Tyron Woodley haven't have a professional boxing fight before and in my opinion and judging by the training of UFC fighter every UFC Champion is a boxer by nature.

Jake declared he will shock the world by beating Tyron but people to fight with mouth, they do it in the ring.

If you are not aware of the wrestling skills of Jake Paul he is a wrestler in high school and he has won competitions, so you cannot say that Jake Paul does not know wrestling but he transitioned to boxing well and i have no idea about his submission skills, but i am sure he can hold his own if it is pure wrestling as well.
I do accept it is not easy to master all the techniques in MMA and it will take a long time to master these.

The problem i see with Tyron Woodley is that he is not in his prime shape and age is not in his side and he is on a loosing streak in the UFC and i do not remember when he last knocked out anyone because he was having the knockout power in the past but somewhere he missed that trigger.

Though they are boxers by nature they cannot beat a real boxer in the ring.

We've seen the best boxer and the best MMA fighter fighting in the ring, and the result was obvious.
I'm talking about the Mayweather vs McGregor fight that brought a lot of attention to the fans, some maybe got fooled by putting a bet on McGregor to win.

https://www.oddsshark.com/boxing/mayweather-mcgregor

The day after the fight became official, Mayweather’s odds shrunk all the way down to -600, while McGregor’s value has been chopped down to +400.

look at the betting odds, you'll see some believe that McGregor could pull an upset.

These Paul brothers are making deals that will have them a lot of viewership and money too. Expect that there will be more of these professional MMA fighters fight in a boxing match. I think that's their strategy to have at least get a clout which is very interesting for most of their fans and people who have also following them just because of this entertainment that they bring.

I agree although MMA fights are different from a boxing match that's why the rules, the technicals and other things that Tyron had been used to will all change and that advantage will all go to Jake.

It is true that the Paul brothers have created a niche market for themselves as they are able to attract huge crowds whenever they put together a fight and it is not a small thing and all the upcoming talents should learn from them on how to promote their brand and they are picking fights smartly as well, from celebrities to MMA champions of the past even though they are well past their prime they know that it will bring them money.

Not just professional MMA fighters, but there could be other sports personalities willing to put their hands on the cookie jar and take a bit of these so called exhibitions matches by the Paul brothers to somewhat bring some money.

And this are not going to stop, as long as people are willing to buy tickets and the Paul brothers solidifying this niche that they build, it will go on and will bring out retired fighters or non fighters to challenge them.

Why not this is a good opportunity for fighters past their prime to make money again, Robinson Askrem are just two of the fighters that are past their prime but made easy money from this kind of fights Woodley has a run of losses and he needs something to catch the attention of people and continue to make money, it's a risky fight for him, he should hurry and practice his boxing, there is no grappling here, but he can hug.
