Jake Paul vs. Nate Díaz predictions
Despite being a sentimental favorite, Diaz may not have many advantages over Paul. Paul is younger and physically more significant, with more classical sports training. Although Diaz is always in good shape cardio-wise, how his body will respond to fighting 15 pounds above his usual weight at an advanced age remains to be seen.
During the fight, Paul can use his jab, clinch Diaz, and set him up for a big right hand if Diaz decides to fight. While Paul may land some heavy blows, Diaz will keep pushing forward. As the fight progresses, Paul’s early efforts may slow Diaz down, or Diaz may become desperate as victory slips away.
Paul expects Diaz to make a comeback on a big platform, and that’s what is likely to happen. Since Paul is already at -390, exploring other options besides the moneyline may be worthwhile.
