I really hate this take, as if Paul is some fat, un-athletic slob, that he just fought in a bar.
Jake Paul is an athlete.
Jake Paul is much bigger than Woodley. Jake Pauls punches will always land HARDER, being the biggest guy.
This is boxing. Not MMA. https://t.co/30ohXL5Jnu— aljamain sterling (@funkmasterMMA) December 19, 2021
