All the fights were good tonight. Except for the last one. We all know Woodley has powerful punches. Yet he didn’t use ‘em. He just danced and punched AROUND Jake Paul.
Convince me this ain’t all just like the You Tube gig…FAKE! #PaulWoodley

Paul got the decision in what was a pretty boring fight in fans’ opinion. Woodley remained gun shy despite hurting Paul and with ‘The Problem Child’ being visibly fatigued. One might have expected more from the former UFC champion.
