Both Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley spoke about knocking each other out leading up to their fight Sunday night in Cleveland.
But that didn’t happen for either fighter. Instead, the fight went the distance and Paul got the victory over the former UFC welterweight champion via a split decision.
Paul entered the fight as the favorite, thanks to his size advantage and he was able to remain strong for all eight rounds of the fight. It’s a big win for his resume but when you look at the numbers you’ll see the fight itself was pretty rough.
Here are the final numbers from the fight, which was held in front of an ELECTRIC crowd:
