What was Nate supposed to do?

[elfag]

Diaz was overhyped as a "striker" when really it was pointed out the vast majority of his stoppages were submissions NOT striking TKOs.

Jake was embarrassing. Diaz just slapped him with Paulie M love taps and walked forward not even throwing with a weak guard up and Jake had no real solution to this and couldnt stop him.

Jake Paul has shown his level. He's novice boxer who would have zero chance of winning a British title.

The thing is, the MMA guys he's fighting can't box at all so he beats them with relative ease.

It's one hell of a market he's managed to open for himself.

If he fights any boxer with any kind of crednetials he will lose and lose easily like he did to Tommy Fury who is also a novice, but a novice that's been boxing since the age of 10.

His power is also overrated and nonexistent. The announcers at his early events kept hyping his "power" since he throws his all into his telegraphed overhand right and he knocked out the worlds smallest NBA player and a geriatric wrestler but the few times he caught tommy flush there was no reaction and Tommy who has atleast sparred a bit with various guys said out right Jake has no real power.


Jake lost to a british reality TV star who boxes as a side hustle.

Diaz, as an MMA fighter seems to be fairly well rounded. He has actually uncorked a few good shots and of course, submitted a lot of opponents. It is interesting to me that his build is so average, apparently it is connected (presumably) to his endurance and recovery. He must be a wiry fcker, but he does not look tightly muscled like most wiry built fighters.

Lol, imagine Paulie M backing someone up! Its true, Diaz hit him with slapping shots and still drove him back, Jake looked perplexed.

I thought Diaz knew this was a mockery, so he showed up, put on a show, stuck to his mental script, and collected a fat plate of cheese. He was terrible but STILL able to fluster and embarrass Jake on several occasions. Jake won't go near another boxer ever again; he won't even rematch Fury. Anyone with even the basic fundamentals will tear this kid apart. IF he goes through with that MMA match with Diaz (he won't), he's getting slept.

I can understand some of his youthful indiscretions. But he is indeed a pocket liner! Him and I think his brother, did these endorsements for ****** coin issued in a special series, knowing the coins would tank after he pulled profits and leaving his followers holding the proverbial bag... And then it gets worse... I think it was both of the Paul brothers, but they made their own "coin," got investment capital from their followers and let it tank. He was exposed over this. His followers are young and he takes advantage to line his pockets.

These fughs are living the dream
Easy to fool today’s lost generation unfortunately
Sure they know how to crack a phone but have no fughin clue how to crack a safe or even a simple locket
Google has ruined our world and it will only get much worse
They get picked up and dropped off when we would walk through fughin snowstorms or wtv to get to school and back
You can’t build fughin character by texting
You can memorize your little textbook but what good does it actually do to you out on the streets ?
This coming from an old true mofo who has two young daughters and has walked the walk
Nothing builds character like the streets do
It’s unfortunate times we live in
Long live rock’n’roll brother
I know you know , not your first or last rodeo
Godspeed

Unfortunately Jake is in a position where he can fully control everything, the circumstances are perfect for him. Not good enough to beat halfway decent boxers in boxing or halfway decent MMA fighters in MMA but good enough at boxing after 5+ years of training to beat halfway decent MMA fighters in boxing (and hand picked ones at that). And hes able to do this because he has the name, money and influence to make it happen. Its a total vanity project that has done unfair damage to MMAs credibility but simultaneously has helped turn boxing into a circus too. Cant wait for him and his ilk to **** off to whatever the next thing is, either that or he actually takes things seriously and boxes boxers or goes to MMA andtries to make a real run at things.

I would say Anderson Silva was a decent win. Old as dirt but he had a few boxing matches and actually managed to beat Chavez Jr somehow.

Yes, it s so true! I grew up that way in East Harlem. The Diaz brothers, I have a soft spot for because they remind me a lot of guys in my hood. People always see the "bad" in communities that are tough living, hoods, but for every bad apple there are many of good character who never lost their way in the struggle. And coming up hard makes one tough and able.

[IceTrayDaGang]

how does a guy that's been fighting for over 20+ years in MMA loses to some guy who just started training boxing like 5 years ago???

i get it, nate wasnt boxing for 20+ years, he was doing MMA but if you've been fighting professionally for over 20 years, how do you lose to some guy who just started boxing??

does this prove how weak guy's in the MMA stand up is??

[Bravado]

It's because people just can't seem to differentiate between the sports.

MMA fighters are killers, true killers and true fighters. What they aren't are boxers.

Every time Jake Paul fights these MMA guys, my nephew is adamant that he will get destroyed by these MMA fighters because they are/were world class "fighters" and Jake Paul isn't.

Jake Paul has basic boxing skills, that's all it takes to beat an MMA fighter in a boxing match, because it's just not their sport. Just because they throw punches and take guys heads off in their sport doesn't mean it's boxing.

We have to remember Mayweather-McGregor sold over 4 million PPV's.......That alone tells you where the problem lies here.

I don’t truly want to make this point, but I’m gonna say it’s because in the end? Most folks don’t truly understand the dynamics in fighting from MMA to boxing. We saw a Terence Crawford box the ears off of Errol Spence. I used to love the watch Floyd fight. I loved the creativity of Manny Pacquiao. The way he dropped Keith Thurman, was the same kind of punch?? He hit many people with, he just so happen to drop Keith with it.


i say all that to say, most folks, don’t truly understand that MMA in general? Like you said those guys are killers, but they’re not boxers. Many of them cannot hit at all, but if you tell people that, they will tell you that you’re losing your mind. They only think these guys can hit, because those guys don’t have good chins on average. The beating Errol Spence took against Terence Crawford? I thought it was bad, but it wasn’t as bad as I’ve seen other beatings in boxing. errol still had his wits to him, because he’s very tough physically. I don’t think there’s any fighter in history of MMA, that would’ve lasted as long as Errol Spence. Not to mention the racial component, I think many people want to see a white guy with swagger participate in boxing. Or any other very popular sport.

Jake found a niche, and it’s wonderful. I hope we can all do the same in our fields but these MMA guys really just leave a lot to the table boxing wise.
