Tyron Woodley opens up on his mistake in the rematch with Jake Paul

The rematch seemed to be headed for a decision just like the first, but the overhand in the sixth round removed all doubt. 'T-Wood' did not make any excuses for the short-notice nature of the bout at the post-fight press conference:

“I told you guys I was in shape. I told you that I was ready to fight. I told you all I was coming and I would look in better shape than he was. I thought I was winning. It wasn’t a landslide."

However, he did chide himself for what he believed was the error that led to the knockout:

"I went back and I looked at [the knockout punch], and I’m like: ‘Why the f**k did I drop my hand?' I had both hands up. I was ready. I knew it was coming. I was ready to block the overhand. I don’t know if he delayed it. Even if he didn’t delay it, I don't know why I dropped my hand."

Jake Paul plans to continue his journey in the world of boxing and believes he is having an incredible impact at the age of 24. Following his impressive victory over Tyron Woodley, 'The Problem Child' called out several other big names, including Conor McGregor, Jorge Masvidal, and Nate Diaz.
