Jake Paul just knocked out Tyron Woodley

[Leao2005]

Jake Paul is better than a lot of people expected. He seems to be a legit amateur boxer, which is unexpected from a 'youtube guy'. You have to give him his props because he's doing what he's supposed to do, which is knocking out people coming from other arenas. More than anything, he's silencing the MMA guys a bit because an amateur is knocking a couple of their ex champs into the stratosphere. He'd lose in an MMA match obviously, but at least this should knock down some of the cockiness coming from that arena.

Are there folks in the mma who are more “striking” based?

You are confusing being a novice boxer with the actual sport of Amateur Boxing lmao

Amateur Boxing is an actually real sport, no Jake Paul would not be shyt in amateur boxing he would get his ass beat, for one you cannot pick your opponents in amateur boxing, you have to fight whoever you are matched up with in the bracket, and you're gonna be facing guys with way more experience at times and there's nothing you can do about it

why do you think boxers who had extensive amateur careers do the best in professional boxing

Bro... I know what the fukk I'm talking about...I'm not confusing shyt lmao

In the Amateur Boxing circuit... There's 2 classes... Novice and Open class....

There are trash and mid level amateur fighters in novice class.
That's where Jake Paul would be...
They have like 1 to 10 fights...

There's kids in Open class who are mid level, all the way up to "nicer than a muthafuka"...
They are as good as pros

And yes in Amateur boxing, you get matched up with whoever...
But they rarely match you up dudes in Open class with too much experience with guys with not that much experience

He has the GOAT "knocked out stance" ...already better than and

This has got to be a new coli smiley. Aint no way it can’t be.

Yes...but it's still not boxing.
I think people believe McGregor would be a good opponent.

I know McGregor has been in with Paulie malignaggi, and fought Mayweather...
But he's very small. And isn't that good of a boxer either

 

[Born2BKing]

Woodley has become a millionaire off of fighting this dude twice. I'm sure he'd choose that over upsetting coli nikkas. Secure that bag black man.

 

[Laidbackman]

There are several UFC fighters 40+ and still doing their thing. Dude is not even 40 yet. We are forgetting that Paul is Youtuber while Woodley is a trained fighter.

So if Woodley was 27 or 28, do you think you would have seen the same outcome...this time without only a two week notice.

Brehs talking about he should be ashamed, when in reality this is an opportunity to live comfortably the rest of his life if he's smart with his money.

Could have at least split it

You're not describing a successful amateur boxing career, yes anybody can sign up and pursue that, but it doesn't mean you will get far in the sport, you have to win tournaments, and continue to win to when you are in national tournaments, and it's not easy, you're not go against people who don't know how to box

Brother, you could just said "oh ok..."
And left it at
It's cool. Lol
You're still my brother

But let's not move the conversation into "successful amateur boxing career"


You start out competing in tournaments and shows...and you could be having your first fight.
You aren't going to be that good and your opponent won't be that good...
This is Novice Class...

You'll be in more shows, golden gloves, other USA boxing events all in Novice Class.
Again, one to around 10 fights.

After that...

Then you'll be in shows, golden gloves, other USA boxing events in the Open class.

By this time with 10, 15, 20+ fights you're a much better fighter ...

Some people stop at this point...
Some rack up 100s of fights and try to pursue the Olympics...
Some look for the money and go pro (That's where I was at)

That is the boxing life cycle pretty much in a nut shell.

You don't have to win or continue to win anything... The Amateur circuit is really just for the experience... Before you quit or go pro.

So to clarify once more....
There are dudes in amateurs who are not that good.
In the novice and Open class...
You would hope by the time that get to Open class that they'll be good...or just hang it the fukk up.

 

[mag357]

I could never be a boxer, my ego is way too stubborn to be able look my wife and kids in the eyes after they see this.

respect to them in that sport.

I respect that bro...

But if you really trained and your whole family was a fighting family.
You and them understand that it's apart of the sport. Ain't no shame in it...

It'll be like a wide receiver getting cracked coming across the middle.
He gets knocked unconscious,
Some safety gets a bit of glory from doing it to u lol
But it ain't no shame in it. It's part of the sport

 

[mag357]

looking like a new born baby n shyt

"Is he dead? What you mean is he fukking dead"

 

[T-K-G]

Just shows a lot of these pundits don't know much. Before the Askren fight all these Mma guys were talking about how Askren was a fighter who had been in multiple competitive fights and Paul was some YouTuber. No mattet what they say he has humbled the mma community in my book. Not one said the obvious, Paul will always have the advantage in a boxing match.

If you are not a trainrd boxer he will mess you up.

if anything it's just reminding UFC purists that, just like every other combat sport, you might need to stay in your fukking lane that chaotic ufc style has yet to translate into anything else

meanwhile any specialist can walk into the UFC and have a run as long as they got basic takedown/submission defense even win title belts



i hate and love the fact that it's some rando internet cacs with annoying persona's that did it but it needed to be done. Ever since them Rousey/Floyd conversations it's been open season on UFC names

 

[Methodical]

Y'all need to stop saying, it was staged. If Tyron won and y'all wouldn't say this. That's like Trump lost but said the election was stolen


I hate people are so hype about this fake ass fraud Jake Paul cac mfer. I wanna see him fight a real boxer, he's in boxing fighting all these non-boxers, like come on

Awesome acting by Woodley, how can you put your pride to the side
