The Rapper ‘The Game’ recently called out the Paul brothers on Twitter. Game is 41 years old. He’s a tough street guy but in boxing he’s get knocked out.

Woodley doesn't have the best striking either but huge power and at least some skills there. Just his gun shyness that concerns me but I can't see Jake being able to KO him. I didn't have faith in Ben but I think Woodley gets it done

Jake destroys him. Woodley has no movement and can't throw in combination. You have to be able to touch and place shots to set up power if in 10 oz gloves.

Oh man this is real bad. Former UFC champion and one of the WW GOATs is going to be destroyed by a youtuber. Code red.

If you asked me a few days ago who would win this fight I would say obviously Woodley, but now that it's actually happening I feel like Woodley must be in real bad shape. Either physically or he's taking a dive.

Just watched a 5 minute Woodley highlight...not one jab, not one combination, not one left hook. Not exaggerating. .How can he possibly win? As a dude in his late 30s.

I think his explosiveness and power and high level experience can carry the day. I can't Imagine how Jake is going to be able to get inside and even hurt Woodley tbh.

I love how hard they're trying to sell the height thing. I know they need an angle vs Mayweather, but the posters and clippings are trying to make it look like Paul is 7'2, and Floyd is 4'9.

Wasn't the youtuber that beat up Logan Paul only like 5'10 anyway?

[*]Logan is 6’2
KSI was 5’10
Floyd is 5’8

Floyd is also 35 pounds less than Logan, so there is a pretty large size difference between them for the cameras to focus on.
The talent difference is even larger though...


Tony Pep was the tallest guy Floyd fought at 6’1.5, so Logan will be the tallest.

It’s definitely gonna be the angle they run with. Height and age...they have to go with it.

Watched "Highlights" of Logan vs that other YouTube scrub he lost too. Watched him throw this giant overhand right on a downwards plane, like It isn't even a proper punch. I hope Floyd feels disrespected by these idiots enough and takes it serious and wants to teach them a lesson and absolutely KO's him hard in the first minute. It isn't a joke when you step between those ropes and I hope he isn't gonna mess around and toy with him like he did to McGregor. I'd be shocked if Logan landed a single shot to the head.

And although Jake has more skills then Logan I'm really struggling to see how he stands any chance of hurting Woodley at all. Woodley is a 2-1 underdog and that blows my mind. He's way stronger with alot more explosiveness and experience. I know a few folks here think Jake rolls but I don't see it, at all.

It's not about winning or losing, there won't even be judges. It's just about people wanting to see what will happen in the ring and a lot of people wanting to see pbf knock out lp. That's it.

Most mma guys, even if they have knock out power don't have good boxing fundamentals like head movement, defense and being able to use both hands. You are overrating Woodley's skills by a lot and that's why oddsmakers are seeing this slightly in JP's favor.

LMAO! Woodley has been a championship level fighter for like a decade and has put people to sleep. This is a guy who has trained boxing for the vast majority of his life and an athlete that even at 40 years old is in tremendous shape. I'm pretty sure you are overrating Jake Pauls skills. He has 0% chance. None.

Woodley is a wrestler who can throw hands but whose only real go to punch is an overhead right and mma guys are not at the level of boxers when it comes to putting on gloves and only throwing punches. I'm not saying I think JP will win but you are the one doing the over and underrating here which is why professional oddsmakers see it as an even fight. It could go either way.

Woodley has trained standup for decades. He knows to keep his hands up, and he knows how to throw proper punches, coupled with huge power and explosiveness, an elite athlete. Even if Jake manages to hit him and hurt him, which is unlikely imo, Woodley knows how to adjust and persevere. I maintain that Jake has no chance in this fight and the odds actually have Woodley as a favorite now as he should be. All the money must have rolled in when Woodley was a 2-1 underdog.
