The OFFICIAL Paul Brothers Boxing Thread

[aggerrard]

Oh no Woodley. No dignity left either. Give it up, you lost.

[radeonboy]

Jake's size and length was a bit tough to deal with but ya, Tyron was just too damn gunshy as he always is... It's too bad, there was alot of holes in Jake's game but Tyron couldn't capitalise.

Gotta give it up to Jake. I didnt think he had a chance here but he survived and landed some clean shots and deserved the win.

Tyron talking tough in the post fight interview. Ain't nobody want to see you dissapoint us again T-wood. Hang em up and give Jake a boxer pls.

Nah man let Tyron get another pay day

[Prez]

Woodley could have finished Paul if his fight IQ was high enough to tell him to pounce after he got his overhand right. He should have let it all go in round 4. Too bad he's gun shy. 39 years old time to hang them up. Happy Woodley got paid. Will like to see Paul keep pestering Dana White on fighter pay.

I don't think it's a fight IQ issue, he's just majorly gun shy at this point like you said, a shell of himself athletically, and limited in his tool set. I'm pretty sure I read that he also has chronic arthritis and has had it for a while, likely a big reason for him being gun shy, and probably getting worse as he approaches 40. He's been this way for like 5 straight fights now, he had a string of losing like 15 straight rounds in his last few UFC fights. I'm sure he knows he has to get after it, he's just washed.

[Reeko]

Even in a boxing match against Jake Paul, he still manages to be Tyquill Woodley.

Yup. Just a reminder to everyone, he has 1 KO in the last 6 years. He has been living off that Lawler KO highlight for quite sometime now. This is the guy that got picked apart on the feet by Colby Covington (wrestler), Gilbert Burns (world champion BJJ) and was pretty much KO'd by Vicente Luque within 4 minutes.

In fairness to all of those guys mentioned, they're all good to very good strikers. But yeah, Tyron's always been a take down artist with a looping right, albeit a powerful one. Pertaining to your earlier post, there's no way uncle Dana lets one of his guys fight Paul. I think the best bet would be for one of Nate or Jorge to fight out their remaining contract and then fight Paul. Dana's not going to let one of his guys currently under contract give this kid any more shine.

Ya even in his prime he didnt have a wide range of striking skills. He pretty much had his overhand right and a straight right. That was pretty much it. To this day that remains the same, he just throws them a lot less now. You also add in no threat of a takedown, it becomes much harder to land those two basic punches.

So its not like he has a lot of tools to finish a fight if he doesnt knock the guy out cold with that big right hand. So ya him not being able to finish the fight when he had Paul hurt was I think a mix of him just being a gun shy fighter and just having a limited tool set.

He wasn't a technical striker in his prime, let alone now that he's beyond washed.

Didn't know of his chronic arthritis. Yes I have no illusion that Woodley is washed at this point and well past his prime. Yes he is gun shy for a while now. I just want him to get paid nicely as he hangs them up. LOL

Paul didn't want the rematch though, he doesn't want to feel the power of Woodley again. He tried to weasel out of a rematch and Logan tried to deflect. HAHA . He should fight Woodley again because Fury would destroy him worse.

[Jasen777]

Surprised Paul didn't put him away easy. He'll have to be really careful with his next opponent selection.

Woodley made Paul question his fight future. I'm gonna go crazy and predict he stops fighting LOL.

[Susan]

lmao they're gunna do the tattoo right there

This is dumb but it wasn't a freakshow. A good athlete who trained BJJ full time for 3 years would probably beat a non grappling specialist MMA fighter in a BJJ match, especially if there's a 10-15 lb weight difference.

I hope not. In all of this, Jake Paul has been putting a bigger spotlight on how underpaid UFC fighters are. While his upside as a boxer/fighter is clearly limited, as long as he can still pull numbers at the gate and on PPV I think his cards are a great showcase for boxers that have a lot of upside that we otherwise would not have heard about.

Oh I agree no way Dana allows it. Im just saying from a MMA fan's perspective to put an end to this "Paul can bang with the best MMA fighters" talk.

Izzy would just toy with him. That would just be an embarrassing night.
Costa would just walk him down and put his lights out
Rob would just sit back and pick him apart.

I dont know, I guess I had higher expectations with Paul when it came to his boxing skills. He's been training boxing a lot for like 5 years now. I thought his skillset would be a little more diverse by now. The only reason he won tonight was because he was more active. He didnt crank out more damage or anything like that. There was about 2-3 times where he put together a nice combo, but that was about it. Woodley has always been a limited striker and has been a complete shell of himself the past 4-5 years. I thought Paul would be able to put him away and look like the much more skilled fighter.

My guess is his next fight will be Dillon Danis or something like that. Keep going along the lines of smaller guys who have a very limited striking skill set. Smart for him, dull from my point of view though.

[spykelee]

Diaz bros vs The Paul bros. Steelcage match. Make it happen

I would pay good money to see him fight Khamzat Chimaev. Good God is that guy terrifying.

welcome to ur new home

[SichtingLives]

Woodley was fighting very aware of the potential humiliation of getting KOed. Paul touched him and countered him enough to make him weary of opening up like he tried to do with Luque. Props to Jake Paul it takes a lot of balls to be a kid and get in a ring with limited experience with a guy who was a UFC champ not very long ago. It was far from a blowout but he outboxed Woodley. on another note god I hate watching Woodley fight and hope that was the end of his career. Dude is the fighting equivalent of blue balls

[Dupp]

Pretty embarrassing for Woodley tbh.


His boxing is so robotic and one dimensional. He’s quite bad. Even still he probably could have got a KO if he just let his hands go. But I guess like Jerry said, scared of embarrassment.

[cowboyronnie]

Woodley has never been a good boxer and he has been picked apart on his feet for the last 3-4 years now. I mean Colby put on a striking clinic against Woodley. Cool on Paul to slowly step his game up each time I guess.

But ya wake me up when he decides to call out a UFC fighter like a Costa, Izzy, Whitaker, and so on. Again Woodley was a wrestler that had a huge over right hand. He was never a guy that was a skilled striker. He is also almost 40. Enough of the 40 year old retired MMA fighters. Actually start facing pro boxers or convince Dana to let one of the skilled strikers at 185 end the hype.

What? He's stepping up competition faster than any boxer ever. 3 years into a career, every other prospect boxer is flying in cab drivers from Tijuana in order to pad their record.

The amount of tough talk out of Woodley over the last 5 years is insane. Eff him.

[REDDzone]

LOL of course Tyron is real thirsty for a rematch, and of course Jake Paul won't grant it even if Tyron gets it tatted across his forehead. There's no upside for JP, and Tyron won't ever get another money fight.
