Comments Thread For: Hearn Views Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz as Mismatch: It Won't Go Four Rounds

[dannnnn]

You may be right sir! But damn if those arm punches didnt connect and then it seems they mix up the speed and fire a hard one in there somewhere. Hell with those tiny gloves that seems like a good idea to me. I personally don't think he does that with the big gloves. Imo he will surprise some folks

I'm interested to see Nate fight in big gloves, I'll say that. Like you say, their style has its merits with the small gloves. I've always been a bit curious as to how much of that was by design or whether that's just how they box. If cuts weren't a factor, their style would probably transition well to bare knuckle.

Once Jake Paul gets the win here he has well and truly completed UFC and goes down as the best UFC fighter ever. He couldn't even get past level 1 (Tommy Fury) against a boxer, but we all know these UFC guys are totally overrated.

A few more years of beating up UFC, followed by a journeyman streak in WWE, Jake "the great" Paul will then see out the rest of his life doing side-quests, before passing away after being hit by a tennis ball in the throat in a PPV exhibition match vs Martina Hingis. Nash out

Son, while I’m not a fan of mma, pay any fighter that gets in the ring some damn respect. Overrated or not. Also, for the like third year, you aren’t Miguel cotto, Nash out is about as cool as going to the titanic via submarine right now.

I remember when people used to say the Diaz brothers would be the best candidates to cross over from MMA to boxing and I used to scratch my head because I've always thought their boxing was pretty damn bad. Sloppy technique, arm-punches, no leverage, certainly no speed or explosiveness. They do have (or had, at least) good cardio and a high work-rate but that's about it.

Nate's as tough as old boots though and if it somehow comes down to a war of wills he'll drown Jake, but I have a feeling he's either gonna get starched like Askren or stopped on cuts once all that scar tissue inevitably opens up (a stiff breeze will do it these days).

He is kind of like maragrito able to walk through punches and put on serious pressure and make u panic and uncomfortable and get u out of there , he is older too now though , and he has done alot of sparring with Andre ward so he used to the counter puncher tricks , I'm actually interested in this just because I like nate Diaz , I don't like MMA or watching it though , but he made it huge with the mgregor win

This clown came to this conclusion after watching a few mins of pad work. You’d think this dude is a casual fan instead of head promoter for one of the biggest company in boxing.

If you can't tell how bad a fighter is after a few minutes of pad work then you really should not be any kind of promoter. Eddie understands what he sees.

I get it, you are jealous of Nash, you aren't alone in that. Just live your life and stop being bitter. Like Nash always says, there is always someone out there better than you, so stop having p@nis envy and get on with your life. Nash does not care what you think. Your words are meaningless to Nash, they won't stop Nash nashing, know that. Nash out

Ignoring he’s a professional fighter with PROVEN boxing skills just because of his pad work, it’s casual behavior, not a major promoter.

Nate Diaz is almost 40, he is 20 pounds or more smaller than Jake and hes a striker not a boxer. He certainly isnt any better than Tommy Fury. There is a reason Jake took this fight and not the rematch. Jake couldnt hurt Tommy, he landed his overhand right and it had no effect, realistically Tommy could press him much harder in the rematch and knock him out and he could take the risks too as Jake couldnt really hurt him.

Back to fighting 40 year old middleweight cage fighters it is.

What does Nate Diaz know about boxing??? Jake Paul - always picks smaller guys so his power will KO them. Fury was a small guy too and it wasn't easy for him and he could almost actually box. Jake Paul will eat these MMA guys for breakfast. None of them can box. Diaz is old and finished even in his own sport

Fury had an easy time against Jake. The reason Tommy was having a rough time was because Jake was clinching for his life and when your opponent is truly trying to survive they aren't going down.

[bullydean]

Both diaz brothers have always had legit boxing trainers in their corner and that has always been a huge part of their game. One thing I have always found they do very well is mix up speed on their punches. Diaz is better at boxing than tommy lmao No question about that. Will size be a thing? Maybe, but I'm going with special Edward on this one

Nate a better boxer than Tommy Fury???

Lol get out of here Jakey boy

[TMLT87]

Only real chance Nate has is if Jake gasses hard enough for Nate to drown him in the later stages. Nate is old, slow as ****, pillow fisted even in 4oz gloves and hes the type to spend time showboating and trash talking rather than piling the pressure on. Basically hes a smart opponent for Jake, especially when you take into account his star power as well, this will be one of Jakes biggest PPV fights imo. I expect Jake to stop him.
