Weren't people hyping Ben's open workout and saying he was looking good on pads too? It's not hard. Especially when you have a fully edited 5 minute compilation complete with sped up footage in the first minute.
And before anyone accuses me, hell no I'm not saying Ben and T Wood are on the same striking level. Woodley is leaps and bounds better than Ben Askren in boxing I'm sure and athleticism in general. Shit. Ben Askren isn't even coordinated. So I'm not comparing striking. But it's a fact that any random dude that boxes for fitness at a gym can look like that on pads. It doesn't translate in a fight.
I would love to see some sparring footage of Woodley with other boxers, no mma fighters. That would be a better gauge of how he might look in the ring. But that also can't determine how he would do in a real boxing match against a particular opponent. And we can't forget Tyron's fast twitch muscles aren't as fast as they used to be and he has been plagued by mental blocks so there are some x factors beyond skill.
