Jake Paul's coach BJ Flores recently spoke about Paul's mentality and preparation going into the rematch with Tyron Woodley.
In an interview with The Schmo, Flores recalled the first fight between the two, which ended in a split-decision victory for Paul. He clarified why 'The Problem Child' was unable to perform at his best on the night and detailed the improvements that his student has made since the first fight, saying:
"Jake's ready for a tough fight and he's ready. We know it's gonna be a tough fight. And for as long as it lasts, it'll be tough. But, I just feel like, the improvement Jake has made in the last 120 days, he's gonna be atleast 20-25% better than what he was on August 29th. His strength and conditioning went up quite a bit, his stamina, his boxing IQ."
Flored added:
"He came out of the last fight with a big chip on his shoulder, he did. He was very upset with how he looked and I was too, he didn't do what we worked on in camp, but it's very tough to do..."
Tyron Woodley walked Jake Paul down for the majority of the first bout. However, the former UFC champion appeared to be extremely conservative with his strikes, an issue that Woodley has been guilty of many times during his MMA career. Woodley will undoubtedly be motivated to find a KO finish this time around.
If Tyron Woodley manages to knock Jake Paul out, he can walk away with an extra $500,000 to his name. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top this time around.
Here are the odds for Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley 2:
Jake Paul -260 (5/13)
Tyron Woodley +200 (2/1)
