Pic: The Paul Vs. Woodley Scorecard Makes No Sense

Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley went 8 full rounds on Sunday night in front of a sold out Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. At the end of it the judges awarded Jake Paul the win, but it was a close thing. Two judges had it 79-74 and 77-75 Paul while a third judge saw it 77-75 Woodley.

We had it 78-75 Paul ourselves and were kind of shocked to see a split. Looking at the scorecards, it makes even less sense. Phil Rogers, the judge who gave the fight to Woodley 77-75, gives Woodley every round from the fourth round onwards.

Now the fourth round is where Woodley ganked Paul with a big right that had Paul in retreat until the bell. But Paul recovered well enough between rounds and went back to outworking Woodley, whose volume issues in MMA ported over into boxing.

Strange scores in boxing aren’t anything new, so we’re not even really surprised. And hey, Tyron taking the fight in one judges’ eyes may be exactly the kind of salve some sensitive MMA fans need to feel better about a former UFC champion getting beat by a 24 year old Disney kid.

But we know what really happened out there – Tyron Woodley got outworked. Sure, He nearly took Paul’s head off too. But that only wins him the one round … well, in most judges’ eyes.
