I’d probably pick the YouTuber. In a fight between two novices the bigger guy usually wins. That’s essentially what this is. Diaz has never boxed professionally and Paul has never fought a professional boxer.
Diaz isn't one tenth the striker Anderson Silva is.
Silva:
34-11-0-1 in pro MMA (23 KO)
3-1 in pro boxing (2 KO) (plus an unscored exhibition)
1-0 in pro Muay Thai (1 KO)
UFC Middleweight Champion (10 successful defenses)
Black Prajied in Muay Thai
5th degree black belt in Taekwondo
Yellow Rope in Capoeira
3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Diaz:
22-13 in pro MMA (5 KO)
3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Diaz is a grappler with decent hands for a mixed martial artist.
Silva is a world class striker in several different disciplines.
well silva didnt throw the Chavez fight and he moves like an actual boxer. Jake is younger and faster but man his stamina is garbage.
If Silva wants to really take him out he can wait until the second half of the fight where Jake is basically out on his feet, he was there for the taking in woodly 1. I mean woodly is a ***ing wrestler for christ sake and Jake barely sc****d by.
My trust in the whole thing is very low though. Jake's team is trying to minimize risk, I guess we will see what happens, I dont think silva woudl take a payout but who knows. Jake released the sparring footage of him with Rahman and Rahman told the truth that he was told to not use the right hand, he was just jabbing Jake and the handful of right hands were thrown super slow with no power to let Jake practice countering it. Jakes team did not want him to go all out with real sparring with a full size pro. Shows their actual confidence in him is very low.
The shot Paul knocked out woodley with was quick but very telegraphed, woodley was just tuned out not focusing didnt expect it, he was a 40 year old wrestler in the 6th round of a boxing match.
But they are also carefully matching Jake, that is why the begged Fury and former sparring partner Rahman for matches, Jake says he can beat anyone with under 10 fights but then they carefully pick specific guys.
As long as silva doesnt play ball I think he can stop Jake, I dont know if they havent fixed it though.
