Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley 2 live round by round play-by-play

Follow along with FanSided for live play-by-play of the Dec. 18 Showtime pay-per-view rematch between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley.

The August boxing contest between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley was a competitive scrap that saw the social media star barely outpoint the former UFC champion via split decision. Now it’s time for the rematch.

Woodley called for the rematch immediately after the fight. He even got Paul’s name tattooed on his middle finger, which was oddly part of their pre-fight wager. However, Paul wasn’t honoring a rematch. Instead, he targeted Tommy Fury, Tyson Fury’s younger brother, for his next fight.

A sudden change occurred after Fury pulled out of the bout with an injury and illness, so in stepped Woodley to fill the void.

Woodley wasn’t expecting to fight Paul, but he jumped at the opportunity for redemption. He actually weighs four pounds less than the first matchup, but he doesn’t look as cut. Is the 39-year-old Woodley in boxing shape?

We’ll soon find out.

The betting odds are once again in Paul’s favor, according to WynnBet. Surprisingly, Woodley is only a 2-1 underdog even though he has already lost to Paul and is giving up size and a 15-year youth advantage to Paul.
