Jake Paul violently knocks out Tyron Woodley cold in a "KO of the year" candidate

TAMPA, Fla. — At Friday's weigh-in, and knock him out in Saturday's rematch. Instead, most of the fight was lackluster, and the crowd inside Amalie Arena was booing Paul and Woodley for their lack of action. 

But in boxing, anything can change in the blink of an eye, and that happened when Paul landed a thudding picture-perfect right hook to knock Woodley out cold and face-planted the former UFC welterweight champion to the canvas at the 2:12 mark of the sixth round. DAZN News had the fight scored 48-47 for Woodley at the time of the stoppage. 

"This is as real as it f—ing gets just like my right hand," Paul told Ariel Helwani. 

"I told you I was going to f— him up.

Overall, the fight wasn't anything to brag about. There were many clinches, sloppy punches, and a takedown, much to the dismay of the mostly younger crowd, as they were looking for the knockout. 

Heading into the sixth round, it was anyone's fight. Paul and Woodley made their way to the middle of the ring. That's when Woodley dropped his left arm, which was the opening Paul needed. The 24-year-old turned his hips ever so slightly and unloaded a detonating right hook to send Woodley out cold.

Paul (5-0, 4 KOs) gave Woodley his props for the two fights and called him a legend. However, "The Problem Child" quickly shifted his focus to two high-profile UFC stars who were in attendance and said he'd take on anyone at any time.

"It’s got to be the greatest year of my life," Paul said. "Look what I did, unprecedented. One of the most valuable boxers in the sport, four fights, four massive pay-per-views in 13 months. I’ve knocked out every single person I’ve fought. And (Jorge) Masvidal and Nate Diaz, you’re some b—es for leaving this arena. I know you don’t want this s—. I’ll take on both of y’all next. Just get out of your contract with daddy Dana (White, UFC President). Imma f— them up too."
