Former MMA world champion Tyron “The Chosen One” Woodley discussed his upcoming PPV boxing rematch against YouTuber Jake “The Problem Child” Paul with media members on Thursday ahead of the sequel to their August clash won by Paul.
“I watched the first fight fully for the first time yesterday and I felt like I won rounds four through eight. And that’s not counting what should have been a 10-8 in round four with the knockdown. If I add in some more volume, I’m going to get the knockout. I don’t want to look ahead, but I’m not losing to Jake Paul. I’m getting the finish. I’m not leaving it in anyone else’s hands. That will probably set us up to fight a third time.
“There were times in rounds one through three where he was keeping busy but not landing anything that hurt. He does punch hard though, I’m not going to act like he doesn’t. He hit me with some punches that would have put others down on the canvas.
“Jake has a screw loose, we all know that. So I’m not surprised he took this rematch. Everyone thinks he’s scared of me, so he couldn’t pass on the opportunity. He knows we have to make things right. My prediction is a knockout. When that happens depends on how much damage he can take and how much violence he can endure. I’m going to look for the openings and then I’m going to take them.”
Paul vs. Woodley II, titled Leave No Doubt, will be the main event on Showtime PPV, live from Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla., on December 18.
Personally, would love to see Woodley beat Jake “The Fake” Paul just to throw a wild card in the deck of cards and shutdown or slow the circus side shows concerning the “hit, like, and subscribe” attention-seeking-wannabe-real-pro-boxer Youtuber. Such a shame real boxers rising in their careers put in the gym-rat work and hardly every see a glimpse of the spotlight unless they are connected or have awesome talent.
I dont believe its a shame the gym-rats dont get a glimpse of the spotlight. From what I see many fighters dont want the spotlight. They just want to fight and are very uncomfortable dealing with the attention. Those who do, such as R.Gracia, Broner, Tank, and Paul bros go out of their way to engage social media, associate with other celebs, and entertain the viewers. Those guys put work into their brand and hire the right people to get this attention.
Im more critical of the fighters who are not attention seeking and complain they dont get the same spotlight. Paul brothers is a blueprint to how its done. More fighters need to be attention seeking and bring more views to the sport.
Dennis Rodman wasn’t famous just because he was a great rebounder.
We continue to talk about the Paul bros so we add on to the circus side show, just the same.
Woodley is going to lose again but he’s really winning. UFC pays fighters way less than what they deserve. Woodley is getting his biggest paydays ever so he’s winning in life but losing for the second time in the ring.
he will probably lose again.
It’s just sad that this fight is on pay preview. Otherwise decent fight but nobody worth paying to watch here cmon man a YouTuber and an mma guy 2 on payperview, go figure
While Jake Paul is essentially a YouTuber turned boxer (who does train hard), this is a much better matchup than 49-0 Floyd Mayweather carrying an MMA guy making his his pro debut for ten rounds. How the Nevada commission ever approved that farce I’ll never know!
This is why boxing will never be the same. There are too many PPV’s per month and the ones that we do have are mostly subpar. There was a time ONE PPV per month and we looked forward to it. I can’t blame cherry-picking because that has existed since the days of Jack Johnson in him not being able to get a HW title in the beginning but that’s another story. Boxing has no more stars who transcends the sport since Floyd left. Canelo is winning titles but nobody outside of boxing knows him. Ask your average person if they know Canelo and see what they say. Terrence Crawford is great but nobody knows him outside of boxing. This is why Youtubers with a huge following can make the money real boxers should be making. Boxing fans will buy these egregious cards in hopes the Youtubers lose, but they’re financially supporting them.
This geezer talks a good fight outside of the ring, he was like that in his final fights in the UFC as well. The fight however is inside the ring, and he did not perform when it matters.
Lmaoooooo
Using my outstanding Spanish-speaking skills”
– Yo no care-o about this “event”.
Fake fight all staged for a Paul victory.
As are all of these circus acts-can’t believe how many think this is real fighting.
I won’y pay to watch this. The first fight was painfully boring. Woodly gets KO/TKO’d within 3 this time.
Credit is due to anyone getting in the ring to mix it up!!! The reality is that the Paul Brothers like to Fight!!! They use their status of celebrity with all their followers to generate a buzz in engaging in boxing events with well known Boxers or MMA fighters. They are brilliant in how to make money. Every fight involving them has been a Main Event!! They bring out Opposition that have a fan base…Guy’s are smart Business individuals. I personally, think Jake Paul has potential due to his power. He’s using these MMA fighters strategically to get accustomed to toughness in engaging in fights. These MMA fighters are tough…they are gonna fight back, I think Jake figures out to be on the same playing field with their Boxing skills in which he’s getting rounds in. Every boxer starts off accordingly to their level of experience, with that being said it’s no different for Jake. His popularity to the YouTube industry has placed him in the Pay-per-view instantly in which everyone wants to fight him so they can cash in. Mind you, he’s fighting to build up his confidence, put in some rounds, everything that any other boxers does to make it to the top level of going from a contender to champion status. We will just have to wait and watch on how it unfolds for Jake. One thing though, he comes to Fight!!!
Jakes a pussy.
