The first comment came from former NFL running back Justin Forsett. Forsett's tweet was about Jake Paul's entrance music for the fight.

The eventual winner came out to the "YMCA" song, which was one of the most comedic moments of the night. The upbeat tempo of the song helped Paul get in the zone.

The most popular tweet of the night in terms of likes came from Patrick Mahomes. The 2018 NFL MVP commented on how Woodley was knocked out ice-cold.

Paul landed his right-hand flush on Woodley's face, causing the latter to collapse onto the mat.

One of the most excitable personalities in sports, Pat McAfee, was also blown away by the heaviness Jake Paul's strike landed with.

Some tweets from around the NFL were shorter and more to the point. Dallas Cowboys legend Dez Bryant needed just two words to describe his thoughts.

Raheem Mostert of the San Fransisco 49ers was taken aback by what he witnessed in his tweet. Mostert's opinion is one shared by many who thought Paul would finally suffer his first defeat in a boxing ring.

Former NFL running back Terrell Davis also gave his opinion on Twitter. Paul has knocked out everyone he's fought now, which caught the eye of the former Denver Broncos star.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark is ready for Woodley to retire after suffering his second straight loss to Jake Paul.

The controversial Skip Bayless gave Paul props and a lot of praise after the fight. Whether you like Paul or not, Bayless is right that he draws attention every time he fights.

Robert Griffin III became a believer in Paul after the fight.

Last but not least, Le'Veon Bell challenged Paul to a fight. This is noteworthy and something that we could see down the road.

Jake Paul has made boxing a prominent sport again. His knockout over Woodley proved that he can hang and that this isn't just a publicity stunt.

It'll be interesting to see who steps up as his next challenger.
