Jake Paul demonstrated his superiority in a round-by-round demonstration throughout the contest. In Round 1, Paul jumped out in front with strong lefts and took an early lead (10-9). The second round saw Diaz try to be more aggressive, but Paul's well-placed body blows and combinations kept him ahead (20-18). Despite Diaz's advances in round three, Paul emerged victorious (30-27) because to his crisp uppercuts and strong punches. Paul maintained his lead (39-37) as Diaz responded with a flurry of punches in Round 4.
When Paul's devastating left hook sent Diaz to the ground in Round 5, he maintained his commanding lead (49-45). Diaz showed grit in the latter rounds, but Paul's clever defence and potent punches gave him the win with scores of 59-54, 69-63, 78-73, 88-82, and 98-91, proving his superiority in the fight.
