NYFIGHTS FAM THINKING JAKE STOPS NATE Prior To Paul vs Diaz Live Round By Round Recap

Ex fighter Tommy Rainone weighed in:

“Jake Paul by stoppage,” the Long Islander said. “Nate is too hittable, too old and too shot. He also can't crack an egg.  I got a lot riding on Jake, money wise. I liked him for a lock soon as the fight was announced. Wouldn’t be too wild a thought to bet money on a disqualification with Diaz involved.”

Fellow ex pug Paul Malignaggi also thinks we see a stoppage: “Jake 8th round KO, Woodsy! Nate is tough but he's small and a bit shop worn! Too many miles on the odometer,” the former fighter said before we began Paul vs Diaz Live Round By Round coverage.

This scrap came together thusly–Jake Paul has had a now long standing beef going with UFC head honcho Dana White. Nate Diaz and White have sparred each other for many moons, over contractual matters and the like.

Diaz and UFC parted ways, which opened up the non pugilists' mind up to alternative forums.

Some possible storylines: BJ Flores is not head trainer anymore, how will Jake look after that switch? He has to know another loss after being beaten by Tommy Fury would hurt his progress and plans.
