Topic: Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley 2 - December 18 (Read 789 times)

Woodley could have got an extra point if he won by KO, but the opposite happened and Jake was right telling Woodley that he cannot KO him and the offered amount which was $500k was kept by Jake Paul. He truly is a superstar now, but I have a question in mind, will he ever fight Mayweather and risk his undefeated record?

Yes, there's big money that's at stake for his matches and that's why whoever he challenges, it's likely that will receive a big chunk as him. It's a no-brainer that fights like this keep on going and there are a lot of fans that will generate them money, not just about the fight but also the entertainment that it brings.

Yeah, I think so.

Wow, $2 million, that's more than what a professional fighter is making when they are not yet too popular. No wonder why Jake Paul would stay focused on exhibition fights despite his capability to enter into a professional fight. Just imagine, if Woodley made that much, the how much Jake Paul has made in this fight?

You have a point on that, I thought Tyron will beat Jake Paul this time.
But with that one solid punch and made Tyron KO in cold, that was the winning moment for Paul.
Well, I guess, Paul will get more exhibition fights now that a lot of professional boxing fights are getting cancelled again.
Would be nice if he will challenge the current top boxer in his weight division, and fight professionally.
But it seems another exhibition match is brewing - names like Tommy Fury, Nate Diaz or Mike Tyson are popping up...

I wouldn't feel too sorry for him. He probably got the biggest payday of his career and the Rolex was a nice early Christmas gift. He is pushing 40 so he's not in his youth anymore so it's probably best he just makes the most of that money he's got because I doubt he'll be getting anywhere close to that again. It's not like most fighters don't just take any pay days they can get after their prime. Even the greats usually do it.


You could probably say that about most punches. I think it deserves a place in the highlight reel of the best knock-outs of the year.


I'm really hoping this fight gets made. I wouldn't back either of them because I think it's a fairly well-rounded fight but the pressure will be on Tommy. I'm wondering if he might even dodge the fight now after that knock out. The stakes are huge for both of them. If Jake wins then people really will be talking and the bigger names will come calling. If Tommy loses that will follow him around for the rest of his career. It might even end it. It's a logical step for Jake as it gets him the credo of fighting an active pro boxer without trying to fight someone who will either take his head off or shamefully out box him.


I'm not sure about that. Masvidal is pretty tough. If I was Jake I'd leave him alone and take someone less risky like Fury before trying to snare someone like Mayweather or McGregor. I think McGregor will be itching to take a fight like this especially if he keeps losing in the UFC.

I know all these fights are kind of just a joke and an insult to professional boxers but that night night punch was brutal from Paul.  I don't watch any of these fights as they are just sloppy and boring to watch honestly.  I had to watch that replay and man that was a solid hit.  With that being said this won't help these fights end.

I think that's the trend now, being insured of who they face in-order to gain a sure win, like we're watching a circus with an odds. Lol 
Yeah, I also see that in Jake Paul, he's quite kind of a wise guy who only faces and accepts sure win fights and only talks below the belt if he can defeat he speaks about. And unlike his older brother, Logan Paul, is somehow the opposite with only money and fame in his mind and no sense of intelligence at all.
Jake should maintain he's status for now and fights some debut fighters who wish to carve their name in the boxing industry, he isn't going to be as succesful as other professional boxers, it's sad but it's his reality.

Most boxers pick someone they think they can beat, same as in UFC usually. In boxing you notice it more, because it seems that your record means a lot more, and a lot of boxers have a zero on their record, while in MMA that's rare. So, he isn't really doing anything different to professional boxers, except he's particularly good at flirting with the line of impressive while remaining some what safe. Woodley is a good puncher, and at times a good fighter. However, he freezes a lot, and that was in his prime. You can see the effect of lack of training, and age has had on him, despite still possessing decent enough ability.

Lucky punch.

Yeah, that's what it is. With a few searches, I've read that he has likely earned $2M on this match. Whether he'd win or not, that's still a large amount of money he'd made just for this match. Thus, he can still go for any match in the future after his recovery and when he's ready again to go for another one.

Looked like an all in punch was lucky to land just right and end the fight, helps him justify his whole involvement despite not even beating an actual boxer just somebody trying to learn the sport which is fair enough because thats about Jake Paul himself.    I dont know why the Fury fight didnt go ahead but dont see the problem with finding an alternative at the right price its a job at the end of the day.   I dont see MMA fighter losing a boxer match is a massive failure for his prospects, though Paul was ahead on points imo it was a lucky punch; Woodley is playing with one hand behind his back in terms of his range of skills.
  Jake Paul and his big mouth is really irritating though, can someone shut him up I hope so.

Most Boxers now are practical type in which they will fight for Name and Fame but of course main objective is for Money  and this is How Woodley looks at this.

One thing is for sure that he has no regrets in this fight because he has been Paid worth it.

maybe this will be His main intention to try his luck , and besides it is a win win for Him . win or lose he will get the amount that does not being offered in Octagon .

He won't go far facing real pro boxers tbh. Even gold medalists who trained since kid often didn't go well in pro fighting, let alone for someone who started too late.
Jake's strategy works well so far with him fighting tough guys but not real pro boxers, so I think it would be best for him to keep doing what his best, to entertain people with this kind of match Jake isn't that strong, but he is intelligent. He picks fights with people that he thinks he can beat.

Surely that's the situation of Tyron Woodley here, even though he's an experienced MMA fighter, getting into the ring doesn't make you hard to defeat because the stamina of the boxers is much more bigger than those MMA warriors itself. It's just like the situation of McGregor and Mayweather, we can really see that in the first 5 rounds, McGregor is quite having a hard time to catch his breath. Surely, it's the paycheck what they sought after all, even if it's a win or lose, they're still granted to being paid after every match.

Yeah that's probably the main motive for accepting this fight. For sure he still wanted to get his revenge but bills are priorities.

How about just bare-knuckle under street rules? First fight in the ring just like a regular boxing match while the rematch will be a brawl. I think that's an acceptable offer that Masvidal couldn't refuse I just don't know if Paul would accept.

i did not even watch from round 2 because of Boring fight , I expect more intensive exchange of Bouts than what they did.

this is the reason why I don't like watching replaced boxer since the original one is what i have been watching from the beginning .

Anyway congrats to the winner and He deserves the win.

It's such a waste of fighting abilities if Masvidal would stoop down so low and engage Jake in a boxing match. If Masvidal has a plan to become a clown fighting against Jake Paul, he better set his terms and demand that the fight be in MMA. Otherwise, he should just tell Jake to call out real boxers and not MMA fighters and other athletes in different sports like Le'Veon Bell.

Since Jake is getting a little deeper into the sport, he better be man enough to face the real fighters in boxing.

I'd still like to see the Tommy fight, even though I think Jake probably does a number on him. Though, at least then we would be able to gauge his ability against a fighter to is still very much currently partipating in primarily a boxing aspect, rather than mixed martial art, and retired fighters.

Masvidal would be sweet, though Jake probably wins that from a boxing point of view. Though, Masvidal being from a street fighting background might be able to fair better than previous MMA fighters against Jake, although I'm not sure I'm prepared to see the circus it would create if Jake Paul managed to knock out Masvidal.

That's it. The show is done. The man I was cheering on was knocked out cold. Of course, it was not expected for Woodley to give a good performance knowing that he has not really prepared hard for this. He was just there to fill the vacancy. But as an old fighter, although not really a boxer, there was a certain amount of expectation from him. But that's it. Both of them gave a boring fight. But the end was quite explosive because of that one punch that was thrown and landed at the right time and spot.

Woodley just accepted to fight because he really wanted the rematch even before the last-minute offer and so it happens. A shot like that can really knock out a guy with a strong jaw.

Masvidal or Le'Veon may also have no chance against Jake. It takes a lot of time to attain skill and get used to lifting a hand as heavy as a boxer's glove. They'd embarrass themselves if they challenge.

Totally agree even though I am not a fan of the Paul brothers, that punch was pretty solid. Normally you're advice of not taking last minute fights is right but the money for this match is just too big for someone and them not taking them. At the end of the day, Woodley still made a lot of money in this fight.
