Nate Diaz Avenges Loss to Jorge Masvidal in Boxing Rematch
In a highly anticipated boxing match, Nate Diaz emerged victorious over Jorge Masvidal in a majority decision after 10 grueling rounds.
This bout served as redemption for Diaz, who had previously lost to Masvidal in their 2019 UFC matchup for the BMF title.
The fight, held at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, saw Diaz showcase his relentless pace and impressive durability. Despite Masvidal landing some significant blows, Diaz’s high-volume output and unwavering determination proved to be the difference-maker.
The judges scored the fight 98-92 and 97-93 in favor of Nate Diaz, with a third judge declaring it a 95-95 draw. This victory not only avenged Diaz’s previous defeat but also reignited his desire for rematches against Jake Paul, whom he lost to in a boxing match last year, and UFC champion Leon Edwards.
Masvidal, who has hinted at a potential return to MMA, expressed his disagreement with the judges’ decision and called for a third fight to break the 1-1 tie. He believed he landed the more impactful strikes, but Diaz’s sheer volume and tenacity ultimately swayed the outcome in his favor.
The event, co-promoted by Diaz’s Real Inc. and Masvidal’s Bred Boxing, featured a diverse lineup of combat sports personalities, including former UFC champion Anthony Pettis, who faced Diaz’s longtime associate Chris Avila in a separate bout.
This victory marks a significant milestone in Diaz’s career, as he continues to pursue his goal of becoming the top fighter globally. The rematch with Masvidal has added another chapter to their rivalry, and fans eagerly await the possibility of a third encounter to determine the true victor between these two combat sports icons.
