ricky they said the judges were experienced or in on it

Paul didn't win a second of that fight from round 3. Awful judging, must have been fixed.

bit harsh that rick

Woodley wasn't much good, didn't let his hands go when Paul clearly wasn't set for his righthand, and backed up in straight lines, but he won it clearly. Paul was ready to go for an absolute age.

Woodley needed a knockdown for a draw; Paul's worth so much money. The 78-74 was the wrong way around.

On what basis? You had a guy, totally gassed, circling and trying to potshot. There was a huge deficit in ring generalship.

graham houston on twitter being shocked that someone could possibly score it for woodley

I was almost taking points off Woodley for not taking advantage of such an easy target! Paul's feet were penguined for the whole second half. Woodley's corner should've told him to work the body as soon as he slowed, because there was so much time left for him to finish it that way.

Paul can fight Fury next, but after that they'll have to trawl for guys like DLH unless they're fixing. Any cruiser in the top hundred beats him, but our knowledge is in the minority when it comes to his audience.

Paul won comfortably for me. Landed the better shots in most rounds, landed more shots in most rounds. Ring generalship should only split rounds with even punching and even then I’d rather give it 10-10… if you are controlling the fight then land the punches….

very tounge n cheeck rick , off course it was paul was there for the ko after rd3 woodley stood of after that all fight i dont blame the actors sorry judges

I can see the argument for drawn rounds, but Woodley was never hurt and Paul gassed hard. He landed shots, I agree, but nothing that told. Woodley's tiredness seemed to come exclusively from throwing his own shots, a couple of which hurt Paul.

oh come on or in his contract he aint getting paid if paul goes down more like

The judge that gave it Woodley gave him the last 5 rounds.

paul gassed pretty hard after 3, i can see woodley winning it 5-3, comfortable for paul? i dont think so, he was not ver comfy in there tonight!

him and 'timmy' need to work on their stamina together

I didn't bother scoring it (like the judges!), but that felt legit to me. I'd even be cool with Woodley by a point for the only round either of them won clearly, with the rest drawn.

if that 'ropes held him up = knockdown' rule applied, shoulda also been a kd called against jakey

Official scorecards

Some guy told me to multi fury points into Paul points, paying 43/1…. I ignored them. Big sad vibe on that.

Caroline Pearce. She presents some of the UFC for BT. Also competed for GB in a couple of sports and was a gladiator when Sky brought it back 10 years or so ago.

I suggest you stay well clear of this ‘ropey old fake blonde hooker’’s Instagram - you’ll be disturbed by what’s on there.

I can’t believe you guys watched this

Just watched the fights.

Tommy isn’t much good is he. I’d be a little surprised if Paul actually does fight him as his performance wouldn’t have really got people going over in the US. I’m be surprised if the Woodley rematch isn’t bigger than that.

Dubois did what we all expected to do and what he has been doing to poor opposition. I understand they wanted to make look good in his US debut but he needs more testing fights. He’s had one competitive fight (I’m excluding a badly out of shape Gorman) and lost. They need a tough fight for him next.

I thought Dubois actually looked a bit looser than he has in the past and not quite as bulky.

dubs was at his lowest weight in a while, i noticed it too he looked leaner

tommy is pants
