They get dropped or hit with a standing eight-count and feel the need to "get that back." Come on mate, you've seen enough boxers at his level in fights do exactly that to know how he'd likely have reacted. More often than that ive seen fighters get hurt and not want it to happen again. Jake Paul has world class veteran boxers in his corner and he's boxing to instruction, and to his credit he seems to do it well. The corner wouldnt have instructed him to go out and get one back because he was still in an advantageous position. If Jake Paul had hit the deck he likely would have boxed the next round exactly as he did anyway. Of course we'll never know and this is a stupid argument but thats how i believe it would have played out based on what we saw.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted August 31, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2021 Similar to wand, I've had a few mates that are into boxing, and not MMA, bring up it was a fix due to Woodley seemingly avoiding putting any sort of serious work in, as they saw how deadly he looked when he was arsed throwing something serious. I'd maybe think that too if I hadn't watched Woodley do this for years. Oh well. Fair play Woodley for getting paid and at least he didn't look as bad as Askren. Although I'd be proper annoyed if I was him, that I let the fight get away from me. Hopefully he gets another pay day out of it. Tommy Fury looks miles off. No wonder Jake Paul wants to fight him soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 31, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2021 You'll always get "fix" chat around these lower level fights, i think people are just used to seeing high level boxing so when it looks a bit clumsy or doesn't flow like you're used to, its easy to cry fix.

theringmaster Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Seeing some tweets saying Woodley took home around 1 Million, surely that's the biggest pay day of his career? If i was a top UFC fighter i would be asking questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 15, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted December 15, 2021 thought we might as well bump this rather than start a new thread or stick it the boxing one. Anyone give a fuck this time around? it all feels rather flat a few days out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chunk Posted December 15, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted December 15, 2021 I just see Woodley coming out and doing the same as before. I don't see how he amazingly transforms into an aggressive fighter looking for a finish essentially overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 16, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2021 Good idea Egg. Fuck doing another thread for this. Just put a new poll up if anyone gives a bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfogg1991 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I mean I suppose in the long run woodley got what he was promised after the shit show with the tattoo but yeah there is barely any buzz surrounding this at all. I dunno if I see the fight going any other way to be honest, woodley for me personally has lost that fire and drive he used to have and I just don't know if he can get the job done. He seemed to lack the ability and drive to pull the trigger last time and it looked like in his head he had another 10 rounds to go. The urgency never came Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
