Shaquille O’Neal is not happy with Jake Paul’s win over Tyron Woodley. O’Neal is an ardent follower of combat sports. Recently, the basketball legend spoke about the latest boxing match between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley, which took place on December 18 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
Talking about the fight, O’Neal said, “The way this guy broke it down. He said, ‘Listen, the fight is fake. Look at Jake Paul signal his wrists like this.'”
As much as I hate Jake Paul this fake body shot was absolutely gorgeous… slowed it down so y’all can see the split second that he used to trick Tyron Woodley into dropping his hands. beautiful shot… still waiting to see Jake get dropped.

“Yeah, he signaled his wrist. So now, the way he broke it down and the way he cut it and edited, Uhh I don’t know. But I don’t think my man Tyron Woodley would do that.” O’Neal said. Shaquille O’Neal was not a hundred percent sure the fight was real.
However, he did say that he trusted Woodley wouldn’t do such a thing. As for the fight, it turned out to be pretty uneventful. Before the fight, both fighters had promised early KOs.

However, neither of them lived up to their promise. However, things changed in the sixth round of the fight when Jake Paul pulled off a classic boxing move. He dipped his shoulders, faking a hook to the body. This made Woodley drop his hands.
Paul switched levels mid-way and struck ‘The Chose One’ with all his might, sending him buckling to the floor. The knockout was so clean that Woodley went down and the referee did not even count it. He directly stopped the fight.
