The Jake Paul train is continuing to gain momentum. Jake Paul defeated Tyron Woodley in a split decision moving to a 4-0 record in his latest professional fight.
The bout was held Sunday night at Rocket Mortage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. According to ESPN, the judges’ final scorecard delivered a 77-75, 75-77, 78-74 split decision.
“I learned a lot tonight,” Paul after the fight. “First time going back past four minutes. First time in an eight-round fight. … To be honest, I won convincingly. We’re gonna go back to the drawing board. I think I proved a lot tonight and proved a lot of people wrong.”
“I didn’t hit the ground like his other opponents,” Woodley delivered. “I walked him down and gave it back. Let’s run it back.”
“I didn’t fight my best tonight,” Paul said. “I give myself a C-minus. It’s my first time fighting in front of a crowd since my first amateur fight.”
Woodley felt like he won. “I was surprised it was a split decision. I thought it was close. … My demeanor and my emotion is because I wanted to knock him out. I had a couple big shots I landed, a couple opportunities and I think I had him hurt and I had him tired a couple times and I didn’t press him. I should have pressed him a little more.”
