Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz results, highlights: 'The Problem Child' scores knockdown, earns decision win Nate Diaz entered his professional boxing debut with the belief that extending the fight to 10 rounds instead of the usual eight would work in his favor. However, Jake Paul (7-1, 4 KO) once again demonstrated why MMA fighters have encountered difficulties in the boxing ring, as he dominated nearly every round, securing a decisive unanimous decision victory in Dallas on Saturday night.
Diaz's face-first style and slapping combinations attempted to disrupt Paul's technical boxing skills, but Paul's precision and power enabled him to counter Diaz's unorthodox approach effectively. In the first round, Paul managed to rattle Diaz and later achieved a fifth-round knockdown with a well-timed step-back left hook, nearly sending Diaz through the ropes.
Although Diaz had some moments in the fight, Paul's superior power played a critical role, and his stamina remained unwavering even as he fought for 10 rounds for the first time in his career.
Speaking about Diaz after the match, Paul acknowledged his toughness and warrior spirit but emphasized that being tough alone is insufficient in the sport of boxing. He expressed his satisfaction with knocking Diaz down and winning practically every round.
Overall, Paul's technical boxing prowess, power, and enduring cardio were the key factors that led to his victory, showcasing once again the challenge for MMA fighters transitioning to the boxing realm.
