Anybody actually have faith in Woodley in a boxing match?

[Destino2018]

Not even attempting to troll here but other than an overhand right, I didn’t know he had top level boxing. His chin in theory would hold up longer than Ben so there’s that.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I have more faith in him than I had in Ben. At least he has power.

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

I think he would starch Jake Paul, even if his striking is not very decorated he is in another galaxy from Ben Aksren's striking and has KO power

 

[Chael_Sonnen]

Absolutely, he would smash Paul easily.

No TD threat, Pauls gas tank is probably worse than his, Woodley's boxing is actually pretty good ( for MMA) , and he has crazy power.

 

[Grandwizard666]

Nope. He consistently allows opposing pressure to push him against the fence and gets picked apart/ jab fucked. What is he going to do in a boxing ring where one of his biggest weapons, his explosive wrestling, isn't available?
He'll get jab fucked to a decision or more likely tkoed

He won't be fighting a real boxer though.

Jake Paul going 4-0.

Yes, but woodley has regressed greatly in the past few years and Paul has shown some sort of skill. A partially skilled 24 year old man with size on woodley who is almost 40 and out of his athletic prime has a decent shot, if even if that 24 year old man is unfortunately jake paul.

I must admit I'm not that confident in T-Wood given his recent fights...I just don't want MMA to be on the wrong side of a stupid boxing match anymore :'(.

 

[Kinggs]

He told, that he can beat canelo

 

[TheViking]

He should kill Jake Paul.. should :S

 

[pick999]

He would get koed by paul at this point

 

[capnlarge]

Woodley's entire gameplan revolves around the cage, so I'm not even sure how he would do in a ring... In MMA never mind boxing

 

[genecop]

Against that other idiot? Yea

 

[GOATtalks]

He won't be fighting a real boxer though.

Oh, but he will though.

woodley has the speed to snipe a shot off, should be able to at least test jake with body shots and test his chin.

A lot of it depends on how these jake actually trains. Anyone saying he can't box is wrong but is he used to getting hit is the question?

 

[DOMMA]

[reviv4l]

If he goes for it like he did vs Luque and connects properly- why not?

 

[kalabula]

I think we can say for certain it would be Paul’s biggest challenge so far. Jakes had an easy(ish) path to an undefeated record so far. I think this fight would be a sensible step up in competition.
Edit: I say easy(ish) because regardless of his opponent, it’s still an accomplishment training daily and making that walk with all the pressure on him.

 

[I am your real dad]

He has decent boxing.
