This fight probably going to be sooo boring cause all woodley fight are "fast knockout" or "boring ****t" And Till seems to have a chin...

Even as that, I'm still intriguing cause Till have a litle chance to win this one.

I could see Till keeping Woodley at bay like Rory MacDonald and even catching him and putting him away like Nate Marquardt. 

More likely, Woodley will keep Till honest on the feet with his threat of the take down and huge KO power, while mixing in some takedowns and ground control for a decision win. It will be similar to his fights with Wonderboy.

The difference between Rory mac and Til is that Rory has very underrated wrestling defense, and attack. He is very good at this and kind of made Woodley his ***** because of it.

Til is a striker. 100%, through and through. Stephens actually took him down. Granted it was late in the fight and he wasn't able to do anything with it, but all the same, that does not bode well for Darren. You could argue that Cerrone couldn't take him to the mat, but Cowboy doesn't ever get anyone to the floor who has good hip balance and general TDD, and he also doesn't have a blitzkrieg of a blast double like Woodley. He has never faced anyone even close to Woodley in the wrestling department. Tyrone may be the hardest puncher he has ever fought, also.

If Tyrone isn't a huge favorite I'll be very surprised. 

That stated, Till has a decent shot at winning this. He punches very hard, and Woodley does have a bad tendency to get Frozen by pressure fighters, especially within the first two rounds. I can see Woodley banking too much on the right hand against the fence, getting slipped and eating a hellacious straight left.

Till the new Welterweight Champ!

Predictions: 5 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 340 Points   |   Tied for 1683rd


Till KO's Woodley within the first three rounds definitely. After winning the title Till fights Colby and either Till catches him late into the fight or Colby wins by wrestling him to the ground and keeping him there.

Gotta go with t-wood. Till we can only hope is practicing how to sprawl.
If he comes for the stand up fight i think woodley puts him on his back. One way or another. 
If he lands the overhand right i think tills well known troubles
With making weight leave him unable to absorb woodly's power.

Woodley vs. Till will potentially be "Woodley vs. Wonderboy 3" or a WAR

Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 605 Points   |   Tied for 247th

Darren Till is an elite striker. Tyron Woodley has extreme power in his fists. The big difference between the two is that Darren is 100% standup and Tryon, while standup heavy, can take Darren down. If Tyron feels like Darren is getting the better of him on the feet, he can, and probably will, take him down and if necessary, lay on him to secure the victory.  Tyron has been criticized for a long time for being "boring" and Darren Till promised to KO Wonderboy but ultimately, edged out a controversial decision in a point fighting contest.

It's possible that Darren lures out the dog in Tyron and they engage in heavy exchanges but as mentioned previously, Woodley doesn't mind being hated. He likes the fame and fortune that the belt gives him and doesn't mind grinding out a decision, even if he's booed out of the arena.

I think this fight will be Till's last at Welterweight. Fight the WW champion and then get a fight, or two, at middleweight, and fight for the MW strap.

Tyron Woodley via Decision.

I agree. Woodley is a supreme talent but he's afraid to get hurt.
