<h2>Jake Paul v Nate Diaz Fight Preview</h2>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>While Nate Diaz has far more combat experience than Jake Paul, it’s the Mixed Martial Arts star who enters this bout as the heavy underdog.</p>
<p>This is due to a number of factors. Firstly, this fight will take place in a ring, not an Octagon, meaning there will be no kicking or grappling, these two shall be boxing and only boxing.</p>
<p>Due to this, it’s actually Paul who has the more experience of the two. Yes, a 26-year-old former Youtuber is somehow a vastly more experienced boxer than a man who has been fighting for his livelihood for the past 20 years.</p>
<p>Next is the distinct biological advantages Paul possesses over Diaz. For starters he is 12 years younger and while both fighters have an identical reach of 76 inches, Paul is by far the bigger of the two.</p>
<p>Finally, while Diaz is a veteran of the fight game, he hasn’t had a professional boxing fight, while Paul has fought and beaten three ex-MMA stars in the ring: Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, and Ben Askren.</p>
<p>All these factors point towards Paul having his hand raised at the end of this one and the odds reflect this. However, it would be foolish to rule out someone like Diaz who can take ungodly amounts of damage and refuses to ever give in.</p>
<p>Realistically either fighter can win this one, so what would those two separate paths to victory look like?</p>
<p>For Paul, he’ll want to use his superior boxing acumen to work Diaz to the body and soften him up before looking upstairs for a late-fight KO with that trademark overhand right.</p>
<p>On the other side of the coin, Diaz will turn to that dawg in him and try to drag this one out for as long as possible.</p>
<p>Paul’s size advantage is not without its drawbacks and Diaz certainly possesses a superior cardio base, which he will undoubtedly put to good use.</p>
<p>He’ll want to frustrate Jake in the early rounds and drag him into the deep water of the later rounds, where anything can happen.</p>
<p>As for the final result, we’re predicting the Problem Child will wear Diaz down in the early rounds before finding the KO somewhere around round eight.</p>
<p><strong><em>Final prediction:</em> </strong>Jake Paul to win by KO in round 8.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><em><strong>Match Betting (H2H)</strong></em></p>
<p>As expected, Jake Paul has been installed as the heavy favourite in this clash. He did lose his last bout but that was against Tommy Fury and on decision. Fury is a trained boxer who is not only far younger than Diaz but is also younger than Paul as well.</p>
<p>It’s hard to see a 38-year-old Diaz causing Paul the same problems. The smart move is to side with Paul, but there is value for those who think Diaz’ experience, mongrel and pedigree will be enough to get him across the line.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><em><strong>Method of Victory</strong></em></p>
<p>If Jake is to get the win as predicted, you’d think it will be by knockout. Paul has won two of his previous four fights against MMA fighters by KO or TKO.</p>
<p>Yes, Diaz won’t go down easily, but at this point in his career, how much damage can one man take? We are tipping his notoriously reliable chin to give way at some point in this one.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><em><strong>Total Rounds in the Fight</strong></em></p>
<p>The Over/Under for total rounds in this fight is 7.5. The Over is paying slightly more of the two and we think there is decent value to be had there.</p>
<p>As previously noted, Diaz is a renowned brawler who won’t quit unless he is put to sleep and if he himself is somehow to win the fight, you’d think it would have to be on points.</p>
<p>Either way, this aligns with our prediction that Paul will win by KO around the eighth round.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><em><strong>Will the Fight go the Distance?</strong></em></p>
<p>That brings us to our final tip, will the fight go the distance? Put simply – no. Paul will want to wrap things up as quickly as possible, just as he did against both Askren and Woodley.</p>
<p>He won’t want to risk taking the fight to decision, which was his undoing against Tommy Fury in his last professional match.</p>
