Jake Paul Vs. Tyron Woodley: Forecasts, odds, undercard, expert options, PPV showdown start time.

Jake Paul believes he will continue to build his career as a professional boxer on Sunday when he takes on former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in Cleveland. Paul, a social media superstar, is struggling with a 4-0 result against Woodley, who is making his professional boxing debut.

The fight is expected to be the biggest challenge of Paul’s career after defeating a fellow (former) social media influencer NBA star and one of Woodley’s friends, former UFC fighter Ben Askren. While Paul was doing Askre’s light work, Woodley is a much more dangerous striker, having received significant knockouts in his UFC career.

Woodley ended his career with the UFC with a sour, however, he suffered four straight losses with a 170-pound title after reaching the top of the sport and defending four times. Now 39, Woodley looks set to start again with a chance to surprise many in the process.

Paul Vs. Woodley predictions

Brian Campbell: Woodley represents by far the most difficult challenge of Paul’s short career as a professional, which is that he continues to struggle to win with the playoffs, seemingly at any time. Unsurprisingly, many of the advantages that Woodley could bring as a boxer would not come into play if Paul managed to turn the jump into a war. Hopefully Paul will really try it out here and probably have to get up from the canvas for the first time. However, it is a short shootout that can be the perfect result of making the most of Paul’s strength in a dangerous fight. Paul, who is 15 years younger than Woodley, will use the four-inch height and natural weight advantages to win a thriller. Choose: Paul via TKO3

Brent Brookhouse: Size is not getting enough attention at the beginning of this fight. Paul has tremendous physical advantages in spending much more time than he has devoted to boxing than Woodley, who has certainly trained for more time, but in a context where he has to worry about shots, kicks and submissions. Striking MMA is not boxing and that matters. Woodley has the power, but it’s still been more than five years since he got the playoffs in MMA, facing smaller opponents and wearing smaller gloves. In the last fight in the UFC, Woodley managed to show his life in an offensive way, trying to bring the fight to Vicente Luque before he came out in the first round and finished. If Woodley doesn’t bring the same level of pressure against Paul and back to his worst instincts to passively pass after him, trying to get past a single right time, this fight won’t be the test they think the most. Woodley is older, younger and was chosen as Paul’s opponent for a very clear reason. Choose: Paul via KO2
