KSI Reacts To Jake Paul's Performance Against Nate Diaz In Dallas

KSI gives his assessment of Paul's performance.

KSI has shared his thoughts on how Jake Paul performed against Nate Diaz.

Paul introduced Diaz to the world of boxing on August 5. The bout was scheduled for 10 rounds in the cruiserweight division. Diaz certainly wasn't short on the entertainment factor throughout the fight, and he was able to land on Paul quite a few times. Ultimately, it was clear that Paul's punches were more effective, and he scored the unanimous decision victory.

KSI appeared on "The MMA Hour," and gave his take on Jake Paul's showing against Nate Diaz.

"I feel like he's regressed if anything," KSI said. "I don't think he did very well against an opponent who hardly jabbed. Watching the fight, I was like, 'Nate isn't jabbing at all. He's not setting anything up.' Jake wasn't setting anything up. He was just surviving the 10 rounds. It was low output, low IQ. I don't really understand what Jake was trying to do. I think he tried going ham in the first round, realized he didn't want to gas out 'cause he had nine more rounds, and then just decided to go at this really slow pace."

KSI also shared his belief that Nate Diaz has "pillow hands," yet was able to hit Paul throughout the fight. The YouTube star doesn't believe Diaz's punches had any impact on Paul.

On October 14, KSI will share the boxing ring with Tommy Fury. The bout will be held inside the AO Arena in Manchester, England. Paul's lone pro boxing loss was against Fury earlier this year.
