Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley did not deliver on the hype. Both the fighters looked like they held back during the fight, keeping their distance early on then swinging wildly at certain points as the fight progressed. Woodley showed glimpses of his power when he connected a few power punches that stunned Paul.
In the fourth round, Woodley faked a left-handed jab and followed with his trademark overhand right. For the first time in his career, Paul felt what it was like to be at the receiving end of an overhand right. The punch caught Paul off guard and he lost his footing and fell onto the ropes.
Tyron Woodley could have ended the fight right there if he went ham and followed up with blistering combos. But MMA fans know that this is typical Tyron Woodley. In his last few fights, Woodley has been nicknamed “The Frozen One” for his timidity.
