That was one hell of a knockout highlight. Looks like Woodley was gassed pretty bad at that point. This is why you don't take a fight at the last minute...
Now it's all about who is next... Masvidal got called out but seems to only want to MMA, which I was surprised to see a great fighter basically cower from a challenge in the ring. That says something about what Paul is doing and that he's getting respect from real fighters now.
Le'Veon Bell wanting to be the next to fight Paul seems intriguing to me. Supposedly Bell is a great fighter and a hell of an athlete. I'd like to see that fight. I'd rather see him fight a real boxer at this point though, or at least a non-retired fighter of some kind.

I think fighters now are very practical, they forget about Legacy already, instead they focus on the money. Some may still continue to fight despite proven already that they can achieve their goal. Look at Manny Pacquiao, he is already a legend and yet he still continues fighting even if he knows at his age he cannot bring his power to defeat a young and stronger fighter, so he ends up retiring after a loss instead of retiring after he won against Thurman.
Really, a lot of the time legacy is associated with the fighters ego, and I'm not sure its something that should be commended. I'm not bothered what the reason people enter the fighting sports scene for, since they're providing entertainment. In fact, there's a counter argument to be made that fighting whoever, and whenever could potentially be ever more credible. There's also the argument that they just love fighting sports, and therefore want to get as many as possible. I'm not a fan of the mentality of protecting a legacy if it means the fans don't get the best fights, because at the end of the day we want to see the biggest, and best fights the sport has to offer. Yeah, Jake Paul isn't really at that status yet, but he could potentially get there if he keeps making these statements. We'll be able to gauge it better once he has fought a boxer in their prime, which you could argue he has already tried to do with Tommy Fury, but that wasn't meant to be this time around. I know one thing, Tommy Fury if the fight is made again will be much more wary of Jake Paul going into the fight after this knockout, and I think that might actually benefit him in hindsight.

At the end of the day it depends, there are fighters that care a lot about their legacy and they will never risk it just for some additional dollars in their bank accounts.
Every fighter gets into the sport as a profession to earn money and there are a selected few of fighters who will have the financial stability to last forever, the rest will find a way to make money or find another source of income and the scope of earning is limited for any athelte, so basically there is no point in complaining they do not look for legacy and want to do anything for money.At the end of the day it depends, there are fighters that care a lot about their legacy and they will never risk it just for some additional dollars in their bank accounts.

One fighter I know who care about legacy is Manuel Marquez because he was offered a lot of money to fight Pacquiao but he refused it because he already have a wonderful win against Pacquiao and he doesn't want to erase that by a possible loss in another fight with him.
Well, I can't really be too hard on Jake Paul from now on, I'll probably have to lean on the side of giving him the benefit of the doubt. He obviously has the power to knock out professional fighters, which not everyone possesses. I'd like to see him against a outright boxer, but what he did last night was nothing short of impressive. I'll give him kudos where its deserved despite not being his fan. Haven't got too much to say about Tyrone personally, this stuff happens from time to time, and I'm not prepared to make excuses on his behalf either.
Jake did what he needed to do on a short notice fight.

Such a fall from grace... Even Woodley’s mom is having a laugh at his loss while celebrating Jake Paul’s win. Hilarious. I mean he was the UFC’s champion at 170 who beat Robby Lawler, Darren Till, Stephen Thompson and Demian Maia. All big names during their day. Now he’s reduced himself to be a youtuber’s b*tch. Sad.
The thing is, by losing the second fight he dug himself in a hole he will have a hard time getting out of. One loss and everyone would forget it, but an additional loss in such a manner from a guy that has been in the fighting game as short as has T Wood been in retirement...Yeah, the money might be good, but this is what you want to be remembered for? He said he wants to have 4 more fights, that he is not done? Where? In boxing? Against who? Against other ''celebs'' where either you will go deeper in that hole or they will only be his punching bags and he will prove nothing? In MMA? What will that prove?
But there are some others that genuinely do not care and just want to earn some money, and I think it should be obvious by now that Woodley cares more about the money than about any legacy that he may have, and personally I think it is a valid choice, after all if he really needs the money then why not take it in a fight in which he is risking nothing?

Well I guess he's now paying the price by fighting someone after he got cut from the UFC. I think he himself knows his limits and this obviously is the result of his body limits.
This is for sure one of the worst career ending after being a champion in the UFC and took a beating from someone who is not a professional boxer not only once but twice lol.
That was really an unexpected knock out, as I am watching I can clearly see the clean punch that hit Woodley. After all Woodley is a MMA fighter and not boxing professional unlike Jake Paul but still that was a great match.
I'm lucky that I didn't place bet on Woodley nor Jake Paul and skip this match and just watch it. I wonder which match is next? I'm looking for a Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul match.
ya.ya.yo!

now that the circus is over, jake paul should proceed into having a real fight with real boxers. I must say, that he improved his boxing but seeing how Tyron moved is just embarrassing.
I know he doesn't have to prove anything to me or other people who see him as a joke in the boxing industry but as long as he keeps fighting people who don't even know how to box, my view of him as a joke won't change.

money will do that to you, sad. Many people in social media say that this was a fake fight. Woodley wasnt as active as usually, he intentionally moved left arm down and ate that heavy punch. With all respect, Jake improved his boxing. That was a clean and nice punch. He moved back and landed a pefrect quick overhand. Many thought that Tommy Fury would easily beat Jake. But with boxing like that, Tommy would be in trouble.
I think people are saying such things simply because they didn't expect that Jake Paul would surprise everyone with his punches. It was too visible that he prepared hard and study how to counter every move being thrown by Woodley. Let's just accept the fact that even strong fighters could fall especially if the opponent is too determined to win.

Pretty boring and largely uneventful fight until Jake landed that devastating knockout blow from nowhere. Nobody saw that coming. I was a little worried for Jake with that cut as it looked pretty nasty but looked like his corner kept on top of it very well.
Don't listen to idiots on social media. Anyone who says that is fixed is a complete moron who doesn't know what they're talking about. It was a pretty vicious KO. In slow motion you can see the damage done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xzYLkxjdag
Nobody can stop their brain rattling around in their skull like that.
I doubt there will be a third. Jake will just move on to a bigger and better opponent. I think the Fury fight needs to happen now. It's probably his best bet without taking on someone who is well out of his league and risk an easy KO on himself. I actually think the Fury fight is a pretty even-handed one and I'd like to see how Tommy deals with one of those blows. Jake actually seems to have some decent knock-out power as we all saw what he did to Askren.

Jake Paul gave Tyron Woodley an expensive Rolex watch and which Woodley accepted, and when Jake Paul was asked why he did that he said it's because it was time to knock Woodley out and guess the underrated Jake Paul did exactly that with an emphatic right hand dummied to thrown at Woodley's ribs but went straight to his head knocking him out instantly, I think this is a good attachment on Jake Paul professional career. I see a trilogy happening soon.

It's hard to fake that kind of punch when a boxer is hit and he goes facedown he is seriously hurt, if this is scripted Woodley could opt to go down in a different way, not facedown, this fight is real you can see the blood in Jake Paul's face and the way he delivers the punch, there's to much weight on that punch only a sucker who will accept that kind of punch just to stage a fight.
How about the Wrestling match? we can also see some blood and we all know it's scripted.
he should fight a professional boxer from now on he can succeed as a professional boxer.
Why would he do that when he is a celebrity in exhibition fights and he can make easy money?We never know, who knows, maybe his mind will change in the future as he is confident to try to fight in professional boxing since he is winning in exhibition fights, some fights are just up for a challenge, so yeah, we never know.
this is another fight that jake paul will boast of. knocking woodley out in round 6. i thought the results will be different, well, it was a very short notice to woodley. anyway, he will get his christmas paycheck after this, and hopefully, don't return for another exhibition fight with others. i guess, this is more than enough to see him inside the boxing ring.
and now, let's see who will be the next one for jake paul to challenge?
Woodley's boxing career already over, if he want to fight with another boxer in the future obviously there's no hype anymore until he won many matches. It's better if he use his paycheck for creating own business and now, let's see who will be the next one for jake paul to challenge?
The next opponent for Paul? definitely won't a real boxer, former boxer, or a boxer which want to earn big money even his career will be ruined.
Why would he do that when he is a celebrity in exhibition fights and he can make easy money?
Yep this is the problem, if peoples didn't paid PPV subscription and no sponsor in this match surely Paul will not earn easy money here.

Woodley was very tired and just want to finish the fight, this is what will happen if you cannot protect yourself at all times inside the ring, a big shot at the right angle with strong leverage is going to put down any boxer, I have this feeling that Woodley is not ready for this fight because of short notice, it's about time that Jake Paul fights a real boxer sanctioned a boxing organization, not an exhibition match again.
That was a clean punch and doesn't really give us some doubt about it especially when you look at it over and over again. This fight is for Jake Paul, his ticket to get some worthy opponent if he really wanted to go for the big fish and knock them out as he did earlier. Let's see if he still has the luck to execute such a power punch again but this time, it's his game, and he deserves to have a nice celebration for winning this fight. It's up to him if really wanted to further stretch his skill and learn some new moves to counter some strong opponents.
