Nate Diaz only showed his tough chin but that's it. First round he was knocked down but as an MMA fan and a Diaz fan too, I know that will only boost the morale of Nate and not the other way around.
He loves the challenge and when he is hurt, that's when he keeps on going. That is why the fight ended in a unanimous decision instead and not a KO or TKO. I am also glad that the referee knew Nate and he won't just stop the fight even if he is badly hurt.
Nate showed how strong his cardio is even against a tough opponent, it ended as a good brawl which I thought will end quickly because Nate is old. He never fails to amaze me even in the boxing ring. That might not be his best when it comes to offense but damn, having that cardio and toughness at his age must feel pretty good for him.
I will admit that it was true boxing event atmosphere, lots of fans in the arena watching the fight live. And Nate find a way to survived the first round and I'm glad that the referee didn't stop it early as it will be a big disappointment for their fans.
But what can we say, Nate endurance is different, he is very durable. I didn't bet as well in this fight because it's hard to predict this kind of exhibitions. But it seems the Jake is really serious and tries to score a knockdown or a knockout win.
The longer i see Jake Paul fight, the more I start to believe that he is actually trying to become a genuine fighter. I heard that he is doing hard work, and i also heard that he is definitely trying to be a great boxer. The reason why i did not respect him was because he was fighting retired guys. But this was a good fight, i was a little surprised to see the fight, go like this to be honest, but it is what it is.
I think to get the respect of people, Jake Paul needs to do more. He’s not going to get peoples respect if he just fights against old guys.
I think someone asked Andrew Tate about fighting Mike Tyson. He said it perfectly. Basically he said that Mike Tyson is old right now. And it is not going to be morally right for a 36-year-old Andrew Tate, who was a four times kickboxing champion by the way, fight against old Mike Tyson.
