JACK WOOLLEY’S RISE continues apace after he took gold in the US Open Taekwondo Championships at the ESPN Wide World of Sport in Florida last night.
The Dubliner, who late last year became Ireland’s first ever fighter to qualify for the Olympics in the sport, even overcame three illegal groin kicks in his first bout against Russian opponent Danila Volvos.
Woolley continued his fine form to secure 50-18, 35-5 and 23-8 wins over rivals from the United States, France and Sweden respectively.
That took him to the final, where he faced off against Jesus Tortosa of Spain. The world No.2 proved a far sterner test and Woolley’s victory was confirmed by a golden point in the fourth round after a 25-25 tie in the regulation bout.
You can watch Woolley’s final heroics below.
Nice knock out but he’s a fu#king idiot
He acts like a tool in the cage, he was on the MMA hour and I was expecting more of the same but he was actually really sound. That said it did predate the Pokemon stunt
Paul, is the Alex Reid that fought last night the same guy that was married to the page three girl Jordan? If it was I can’t believe he’s still fighting.
It is, Gary. His first fight in about four years or so.
Cheers Paul.
has to have been some pent up anger issues there :)
You mean improved on it with an awesome pokemon refrence
Too many macho men around here with no sense of humour it seems
I feel like that this morning
Ouch.
He’s had 6 Bellator fights without a title shot so theyre still spoon feeding him, they only have 20 Welterweights on their books
