At the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Saturday night, an exciting event unfolded as Jake Paul achieved a unanimous decision victory over Nate Diaz. Despite Diaz’s well-known status as an MMA sensation and the fervent backing of the crowd, his first foray into professional boxing didn’t result in a win against the 26-year-old Jake Paul.
The judges’ scores of 97-92, 98-91, and 98-91 highlighted Jake Paul’s clear control throughout the 10-round match against the 38-year-old Diaz.
During the bout, Paul managed to knock Diaz down in the fifth round. Reflecting on his victory, Paul expressed confidence that he had earned the judges’ favor, believing that Diaz had only won a single round. While acknowledging Diaz’s warrior spirit, Paul mentioned that he had Diaz hurt as early as the first round, and despite his resilience, no one else had endured such significant damage.
Paul proved to be not only younger but stronger — and a more skilled boxer.

“He’s real tough,’’ Paul said of Diaz. “That’s what he’s known for. But tough in this sport doesn’t work.”

With the victory, Paul improved to 7-1 while bouncing back from his first defeat — a loss to Tommy Fury by split decision in February.
Paul has continued his winning streak against MMA fighters. In the past, he defeated Ben Askren in the first round with a knockout, won over Tyron Woodley through a decision, and secured victory against Woodley again with a sixth-round knockout. He also emerged victorious against Anderson Silva with a unanimous decision.
It’s now anticipated that Diaz will make a comeback to the UFC, possibly for a third fight against Conor McGregor.
“It’s tough. I wish I could’ve done better and did better things. …But it’s all good,” Diaz said.
