In an entertaining 10-rounder, "The Problem Child" Jake Paul (7-1, 4 KO's), claimed a unanimous decision victory over popular former UFC champ Nate Diaz today, August 5, in Dallas, Texas, live on DAZN.
Scores were 97-92, 98-91 (x2) in favor of the "Problem Child," who promised that he'd give Nate Diaz a rematch, even in the octagon, if Nate wishes so. Will that really happen?
Jake Paul had Diaz on the brink of a KO in the 1st and the 5th rounds, dropping him with a hook to the temple in that heated round five, but the battle-tested veteran warrior held his ground, making it throwing punches to the final bell.
Despite loud boos from the crowd, Jake Paul came up in fine form tonight at the full-packed American Airlines Center, really out-boxing and out-smarting the 38-year-old Diaz, who showed heart and stamina.
After the exciting war was over, Paul and Diaz embraced, totally friendly and cordial towards each other, Nate exchanging handshakes and smiles with Jake’s brother Logan.
Will the 26-year-old “Problem Child” go for a rematch against Briton Tommy Fury, with whom he lost a split decision last February in Saudi Arabia, or a rematch against the more popular Nate Diaz?
