So I Rewatched Tyron Woodley vs Andre Galvao and Here's Why

I had forgotten about this fight in the run up to his bout with Demian Maia. Galvao got stunned by that monster right hand in the first or second exchange of the fight but beyond that he also never committed to the shot the way Demian did at least early in that fight. Woodley at least in this fight punished Galvao for his half-hearted shot attempts which led to a stoppage early in the 1st round. At this point, due to who's coming off a loss and who's not strung together enough wins, Rafael Dos Anjos looks like the man to rescue welterweight from the boredom of death that is Woodley defending his title. Dos Anjos will never let Woodley dance around and backpedal for 5 rds and set a second consecutive record for fewest punches thrown in a title fight /as Woodley did in the Thompson rematch and the Maia fight. For a guy who complains of racism and lack of promotion as to why he's not popular, Woodley has done himself ZERO favors in his last two high profile bouts. His draw against Thompson in their first bout was only exciting for about a round and a half.
