The dude has had enough boring fights to where people don't like watching him fight. I'm not going to act like he's never been in a good fight but I certainly wouldn't shell out money for Woodley vs. anyone. He just doesn't do it for me and he obviously doesn't do it for a lot of fighters. People didn't like Jones because he was fake. People don't like Cormier because he's an ass but there are plenty of guys like Anderson, Rumble and Rampage that were fan favorites. Race has absolutely nothing to do with it. How exciting the fighter is and the fighter's personality has almost everything to do with it.
Jack was acting like all of sherdog was rooting for Till because he's white and that's just not the case. If you believe that, you're a dipshit. He wasn't attempting to have a conversation about race. He was just being an ass so I don't know why you're defending him.
My point is, is that those people on Sherdog, and elsewhere are straight up wrong about Woodley's record. I just listed it out for you.
He has 23 total fights, and only 10 of them went to decision--the rest are finishes.
Championship fights are different from 3 round fights. He had 3 boring championship fights back to back, but people call him a "boring fighter" without looking at the circumstances surrounding the fights.
Styles make fights. Championship fights are different. Some pairings of fighters will just not make for good fights.
2 of the fights that Tyron gets criticized for are the 2 back to back fights against Wonder Boy. Did we all forget that Wonder Boy had boring ass fights with Rory and Till? Those were 2 fights that everyone expected some crazy karate shit, and got nothing. I can't recall the Masivdal vs WB fight..but i dont' remember that one being exciting either. And yet, all the blame for the Tyron vs WB fight is on Tyron for some reason.
You can not like a guy for being fake, or other personal issues,I get that. But when we're talking about fighting, there is actual video and proof of what did, and didn't happen.
And I wasn't defending Jack, I don't even think I've ever had any interactions with him here on Sherdog. I was defending Tyron, because he always gets shit on. I didn't read Jack's post.
But if you post in the Heavies, then what Jack is saying isn't really far off. Tyron has A LOT of haters, and one of the first things they ALWAYS bring up is that Tyron is a "race baiter", even though none of these people could tell me what he actually said, and when's the last time he actually "race baited".
