The news today is that Nate Diaz was pushing hard for a 10 round fight and finally Jake said OK. Then Nate reversed his position and says he's fine with a shorter fight. Not sure what the point of this was, but it seems to me like they rushed into the announcement a little bit and they're still trying to get the details worked out. I haven't changed my mind though after seeing more footage of Nate boxing. I think Jake will win and Nate will end the night covered in blood. If they met outside of a boxing ring though, Nate would choke Jake out in less than a minute and I'd put money on that.

On one hand Diaz is fast, at least he used to be fast. Haven't seen him box but I watched some of his MMA fights. That said, McGregor was outboxing him in his prime, so I don't know...
I remember a few fights where Nate would start standing, trying to box, then get cut fast and start going for takedowns. The problem is this time there will be no going for the legs.

One thing is certain, both these guys are some extreme characters, you either love them or hate them, the way that if they were arguing about some stupid shit I wouldn't know which one to back because they both can act like assholes.

It's like seeing a fight between a snake and an eagle mid-air, which you probably know who got an advantage as it was fought mid-air.

That's just like this match-up, we know that Nate can be very deadly, but this is a different case because the fight will happen inside the boxing ring where Nate's talent cannot be maximized because he is not that accustomed to the sport. So of course, Jake will have an advantage on this and mostly the reason why I'm still inclined to give my vote to Jake Paul even if I know that Nate Diaz will probably give him some difficulties in the ring.

In short, this is fight will belong to Jake Paul and that's without a doubt. It's not that I'm underestimating Nate but it's just hard to vote and bet towards him knowing that he will fight Jake inside the ring where he's not that experienced, he can make a difference in the first few rounds though because in those rounds, he is still fresh and strong but in the longer rounds, Jake will punish him and might KO him too.

Yeah, don't think either of them are ready for a 10+ rounder yet. I'm not sure that would be in the favour of Diaz either. I don't know whether it would go the distance but I don't think Diaz would win it on points anyway. I'm sure he'll give it a good go but without being able to rely on his MMA skills I think Jake should win this fairly comfortably.

I'm hoping this fight ultimately sets up a fight with Connor. He's probably done in the UFC now. Looks like Dana can't even keep track of him or get him into the ring anytime soon. He still hasn't entered the USADA pool so he won't even be able to fight this year if he doesn't start testing soon. He's also just been accused of another rape in the US. Could just be a shake-down but he should know better by now.

Looks like KSI is probably going to be fighting Tommy Fury soon as well. That should be interesting, especially if he beats Tommy. I don't think he will though. Probably would be the same result as Jake's fight.

Been thinking about this match up... I'm not sure why a lot of guys think 'Diaz's boxing' is good enough to beat Jake Paul as MMA doesn't really have 'boxing' per se. It has striking. And at best, Diaz is not one of the best strikers but prolly a tad over above average and that's being generous.

If that is so, this is his chance to show the world how he will perform in a boxing match and it's also his chance to promote himself in his next fight and I'm sure he got a huge amount of money to accept this offer and it would be best to see how he will be against Jake Paul. Since we all know he is not that scary and I think Nate can easily beat him if there is no syndicate happening behind the curtain for this fight because when you see in the terms of experience, Nate is more strong and skill fighter because he already fought a real battle against worthy opponents in the past.

Nah. I don't Nate Diaz is interested to 'show the world' anything. He sold out and just wants to get paid enough money to retire and take care of his family. It's the same with Woodley, Askren and Anderson Silva. :/ And here's what I'm thinking... It's gonna be like his bout vs Masvidal for the BMF belt. At the moment of adversity, he'll just give up, play weak and have the ref stop the fight. I don't think the match will go past R5. But that's just me... If the under props and Paul via finish props have good value, I'll put a little action in them.

I don't see a reason either why that situation you've made will not happen once their fight will begin, I mean, Nate Diaz is already old enough to think for another start in a sport that he has no advantages at all as it's certain enough that boxing is completely a different sport compared to MMA. Plus, I doubt that even he has a positive mind towards boxing, he will still not get past against Jake Paul who is already made a name when it comes to MMA fighters who aspires to be someone in the boxing industry.

Between the two, Jake is much bigger with boxing experience. If this fight going to last more than 5 rounds, Nate will beg for the fight to be over already or he'd grasp for air like a dog to which Jake will KO him wiht just a jab.

Nate will just allow the referee to count up to 10 once he is down. One could say he is just there for the money. You can tell if you saw the conference.

Nate Diaz cannot make any difference in this industry, he already has his own name written in the MMA. I don't see any reason at all (except money of course) why he would try and face someone in a sport that he holds nothing or any advantage at all because what's there to expect is just an embarrassment from kissing the canvass from an amateur boxer like Jake Paul. Many have tried, yet Nate is still blind about that.
