Diaz started figuring out his defense in the second round, but never landed a punch that seemed to hurt Paul throughout the entirety of the bout. The next few rounds were somewhat even before Diaz really seemed to do some damage in the eighth and ninth as the crowd started going crazy.
The momentum belonged to Diaz at the end but Paul’s control in the first several rounds made for an uncontroversial decision.
Paul suggested his next fight could be an MMA bout, having signed with the Professional Fighters League earlier this year. Paul also said he would be up for a rematch against Tommy Fury, who defeated him by a split decision in February.
