Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley ran it back in Tampa, Florida, Saturday night and it lived up to the hype. In front of a sold-out Amalie Arena, both men engaged in a stand-up war that left many fans wanting more. Despite this, however, it took a bit for both men to get going as the first two rounds were lackluster at best.
As for the rest of the rematch, Woodley caught Paul with a flurry of punches that left the popular YouTube star-turned boxer the most hurt that he’s been thus so far. An elbow from Woodley caused a gash on Paul’s forehead to end the third round.
After a few rounds of non-action, round six saw Jake Paul land a right hand from hell to seal the rivalry….for now.
Paul and Woodley first met in August and the initial encounter saw Paul win a closely-contested, yet controversial decision. The rematch was originally not set to take place, as Tyson Fury’s half-brother, Tommy Fury, was forced to withdraw on just two weeks notice. Woodley stepped in and the rest of the rivalry. was history.
