How Tyson's old-school style can upset young Gun Paul
Tyron Woodley has a unique perspective on Jake Paul’s upcoming fight with Mike Tyson. He’s spent significant time in the ring with Paul and believes Tyson still poses a real threat. “I’m a fan of the fight,” Woodley said on The Fighter vs. The Writer podcast. “Mike Tyson is 60, but are you trying to see Mike Tyson? So he’s still got the same fear in your heart that he had a long time ago.”
Woodley explains that Tyson’s “peekaboo” style, developed under Cus D’Amato, remains effective. “He was a trained machine of his specific body type, height, and power,” Woodley noted.
“They basically engineered a style that didn’t exist before him.” Tyson’s ability to slip punches and deliver powerful hooks could be a game-changer against Paul. “If [Tyson] has a flashback of a moment of a past fight, and he does that shit to Jake, it’s a wrap,” Woodley said.
However, Woodley acknowledges that Paul has youth on his side. “The age is the only reason why Paul even has a chance,” he admitted. Yet, he insists Tyson’s experience and muscle memory shouldn’t be underestimated. “Mike Tyson has not forgotten that,” Woodley emphasized.
Jake Paul’s recent fight with Mike Perry showcased his power and aggression. Paul dominated Perry, delivering a sixth-round TKO. He knocked Perry down twice early on and continued to land powerful jabs. Perry struggled to protect his face, and Paul’s relentless attacks wore him down. Eventually, Paul’s flurry of punches in the sixth round ended the fight.
With Paul’s victory over Perry, he now turns his attention to Tyson. This fight has generated significant buzz, and Woodley’s insights highlight the potential for an intriguing and unpredictable showdown. Fans are eager to see if Paul can handle Tyson’s legendary skills and power.

In the second round, Paul dropped Perry again, showing his resilience. Ultimately, Paul landed multiple big shots in round six, knocking Perry down and prompting the referee to stop the bout as Perry appeared wobbly.
After the fight, Paul acknowledged Perry, tweeting, "Mike Perry’s heart is undeniable, and he’s a combat legend... But respect to him for acknowledging my skills and handling the loss with class."
Paul also praised Perry's potential in combat sports. Perry responded, expressing surprise at Paul's bad reputation and noting their sold-out arena, showing they were two of the best fighters competing.
