The notion that Paul’s viral one-punch KO The Chosen One was ‘fake’ has delighted longtime boxing fan Rogan, who insists that the stoppage was a display of the former Disney star’s skill.
During a recent episode of The Jogan Experience Podcast he said: “Hey [Paul] Saying that he is already suffering from abusing words and loss of memory.
“Yeah, it doesn’t take long if you splurge a lot…
“He’s good s*** though. Like people want to pretend he’s not because he’s a youtube guy.
“But the way he knocked out Tyrone Woodley, he is skillful.
“He’s got real f***ing power.

“Meanwhile, casuals are thinking it’s fake. You’ve seen it? It’s silly.”
Woodley’s longtime coach Din Thomas was also baffled by the claims, saying during an appearance on Sirius XM radio: “This whole theory, it makes me laugh.
“Because being in his camp, I know how serious it was.
“It was seriously like Tyron really wanted this win back, he really wanted this fight and it was a serious thing.

“Now, if it was a dive, I wish they’d told me about it because I wouldn’t have shown up and took the night off.
“I would love to party but it wasn’t. I mean it was a real, legal battle.”
Paul’s emphatic victory over Woodley brought his professional boxing record to 5–0.
