VIDEO: Jake Paul sent Nate Diaz almost out of the ring with a left hook! The Stockton Slugger showed the huge heart of a warrior in the end

Jake Paul was able to atone for his last loss and notched his seventh career victory as a professional boxer. Despite sending UFC veteran Nate Diaz to the ground in the fifth round, it was ultimately the judges’ scorecards that decided his victory.

After tasting the first defeat of his career by a professional boxer, he returned to the UFC veterans. However, he showed a slightly more mature performance again and secured his seventh win between the sixteen ropes.

When the American youtuber began challenging the stars of the world’s most famous MMA organization, few in professional circles took him seriously. But now he has earned the respect of the martial arts world for good.

After all, before his fight with the legendary Nate Diaz, who spent more than fifteen years in the UFC, he already held all the cards. Against an opponent who had recently retired from MMA, he was the clear favorite of the bookmakers.

He then tried to confirm his role right after the opening bell. Jake Paul tried to pressure his opponent from the first seconds of the fight, making good use of his speed and explosiveness. Nate had a lot of work to do to hold off the onslaught of his twelve years younger opponent.

There was even a shock in the fifth round when Jake took advantage of his opponent’s moment of inattention and sent him down. A perfectly timed left hook nearly hit a hard sleeper on Nate Diaz, who was nearly thrown out of the ring by the intense punch.

But Diaz showed tremendous resilience and proverbial cardio in his first career boxing match. In fact, as the clock ticked down, he was the one who began to take the reins of the fight, constantly pushing forward.

Although Paul was scoring well, it was Diaz who gave his opponent no breathing space in the closing rounds with nasty combinations. Moreover, he entertained the crowd at the American Airlines Center in Texas with his classic gestures.

But Jake Paul showed a much more mature performance than in the previous duels and in the end convincingly won a valuable victory on points. Where will Problem Child’s steps lead? The most talked about fight is with KSI or Mayweather Jr, but a rematch with Tommy Fury is also a possibility.
