Sean O'Malley has posted his live reaction to the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz fight result.
Paul and Diaz collided inside a boxing ring this past Saturday night (August 5). The action emanated from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The fight certainly wasn't dull, as Paul scored a fifth-round knockdown, and Diaz demonstrated the same resilience and showmanship that made him a star.
This 10-round cruiserweight boxing match went the distance. Jake Paul was awarded the unanimous decision victory, but Nate Diaz continues to find ways to succeed even in defeat.

Sean O'Malley uploaded a live reaction video to Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz on his YouTube channel. Early on in the fight, the "Sugar" show praised both men.
"God, that pressure, though. It's only the third round, Nate's putting good pressure on him," O'Malley said. "Jake, he's looking good still, though. Definitely a little tired, but you're gonna be tired. It's about being able to fight tired."
As mentioned, Diaz was knocked down in the fifth round. O'Malley's brother, Daniel, initially thought the knockdown was more of a slip. Sean quickly told his brother that this was not the case.
"No, no, no," O'Malley responded. "The way he fell, he got rocked."
One moment from Paul vs. Diaz that has been talked about occurred in the final seconds of the bout. Diaz got Paul in a guillotine position briefly and then celebrated as if he won an MMA fight. The Stockton native couldn't help but smile and laugh as the fight came to a close.
Diaz's antics amused the commentators, the fans in attendance, and those watching at home, including Sean O'Malley.
"He went for the guillotine for f****** s**** and giggles," O'Malley said. "You gotta love Nate Diaz."
