Tommy Fury did okay in his American debut in the under card. Called out Jake Paul after.

Woodley has much better hands than Askren but that’s not saying much. Paul’s team is handpicking his opponents based on who they think he can beat that are still big names. Woodley’s game has always been based around his wrestling and his last few fights he looked terrible, Father Time has caught up to him

Woodley is also a wrestler but he's got power and is very athletic so he explodes.

The issue is while he has trained 'boxing' in an MMA context he is not a striker. He was never the type to use things like a jab and all that effectively. He's essentially limited in striking punches. Maybe he just never used them in MMA but I fully expect him to be tougher than Ben but ultimately lose if Jake is a legit boxer technically. That simple.

If Jake is just 'above average' then Woodley should win.

Woodley is actually more of a striker than a wrestler, because wrestling was too tiring for him :laugh:. At his best, the man beat some very good strikers in MMA while standing with them because he was one of the rare MMA fighters who got good at defensee. at his worst, he does nothing because he's too risk-averse to get hurt or get tired.

Woodley likely will just eat some jabs and do f*** all till the end of the bout if his now old-man-chin manages to survive

Problem is the way Woodley strikes isn't applicable in boxing. No elbows, kicks, ground and pound, etc...
