^ Fury was an actual boxer though. Nate Diaz is not. He’s most skilled in jiu jitsu which he will not be able to use. This is a step back for Jake, but it will be a more entertaining fight. Nate Diaz has so much scar tissue in his face he’s going to be bleeding like a stuck pig by the end of the second round. The pictures will be epic. I’m sure it’ll be the biggest payday of his life too.
But Nate has a good stand up skills, so he might not be or have the boxing skills like Fury, but he could still be a good threat as the fight is going to be boxing. But yeah, two brandish and two loud mouth, what can we ask for more in this fight.
Kudos to Fury for going after Nate Diaz, most likely he was offered millions so it's could be the biggest payday for him and so he can't refuse this fight.
So this is going to be fun and entertaining fight and for sure, there are fans willing to buy this hype.
Nate had good stand up skill against non boxers and at 170lb. But his main skill was to be able to eat a lot of punches and still stand. Against 185lb that will be difficult to use face as a shield and counterstrike. Imho Nate is to clumsy in fighting stance, the amplitude and angles of his strikes were what he was able to surprise his opponents with. To be able to do that against a boxer. I dont think that gonna end well. There is no use speaking about how Nate could KO Jake. His only option is win by points, but does not sound that judges gonna give Nate a win that way.
