Jake Paul han skadade armbågen innan mötet mot Woodley
Jake Paul och Tyron Woodley möttes i boxningsringen den 29:e augusti och resultat blev ett delat domslut för youtubeboxaren. Många trodde visserligen på vinst för Paul, men också att han skulle avsluta den före detta UFC-mästaren i boxningsringen. Paul gästade Full Send Podcast nyligen och sa då att han dessutom gick in i matchen med en skadad armbåge.
There was something to do with my legs and the energy, I felt like drained of energy. Going into the fight, no one even knows this but I hyperextended my elbow like seven days or eight days before the fight in sparring, bad,
Went into the fight with an injured elbow, was doing therapy the whole week leading up to it. In the third round, I re-hyperextended it and in the fight, you have so much adrenaline you are kind of like I don’t really care, but even this morning I wake up, however many days later it is, I’m like ‘bro this s**t hurts right now.’ Maybe the crowd, too, they were ready.
Paul anser fortfarande han vann matchen övertygande
Trots det delade domslutet anser Paul att han vann matchen mot Woodley övertygande och att detta bara är starten på karriären.
I’m very hard on myself because there is always room for improvement. If I was sitting here being like ‘oh, I did so good, I beat a Hall of Famer,’ I did those things,
He’s a great fighter, and he’s tough, that’s what I really realized in there, he’s a veteran and didn’t want to lose. He was coming in with so much heart, so much power. But, I didn’t do as good as I normally do in sparring sessions. In my other fights, I felt really jumpy, really bouncy, my legs fell good in my other fights. This one, for some reason, where is this extra spunk, I don’t feel it right now, I don’t have it right now.
I give myself a B-minus maybe. For what I did, this guy has been boxing since I was 12-years-old when I was in seventh grade dwindling my thumbs in science class this guy was winning world championships,
For me to only be doing this for three years and outbox him for basically every round, I’m proud of that but I know I could’ve done better. There were a lot of things in sparring I didn’t do live.
Woodley vill ha ett returmötet, men det verkar oklart om Paul kommer ta den matchen så det återstår och se vem som han kan tänkas möta härnäst. Paul är nu 4-0 i boxningsringen och således obesegrad.
