I’m not the biggest fan of Woodley due the numerous snoozers and frustrating performances he put on, even in his prime. If anything is good and holy in this world, however, he should snatch Jake Paul’s jaw and soul this weekend. I consider this bet on Paul insurance against the most depressing possibility.
I wish this were true.... I don't think TW "should" do that. I wish he "would" do that, sure.... but no way he should.
He isn't as good a boxer as Jake from what we've seen, his recent training clips doesn't make him seem like he's gotten much better, he has a style that a good boxer can overcome fairly easily (Jake may not be a "good" boxer but he's probably good enough to capitalize), he gasses, his heart is very questionable, he looks like he's here for a cheque, he hasn't won a fight in a good while, he's allegedly not training as hard as Paul, he's smaller, and he only has one real boxing weapon that we've ever seen. And we've never seen it used successfully against a boxer.
So I really don't see how TW has more than a puncher's chance with his "big overhand right" (which has pulled his shoulder at least once or twice in a match). He can certainly possibly win, but I just don't see that realistically happening.
As much as I sympathize with TW, I expect the odds are generally correct and that he should be an underdog in this. And, sadly, I expect him to lose. By KO.
But where we DO agree is that, like you, I hope he wins. But I think you'll just make a little money is all.
