If you’re not a Nick Diaz fan by now, once you see his fight with Paul Daley you will be. Diaz did it again, this time it was Paul “Semtex” Daily the knockout artist from the UK who was thoroughly beaten up in this mixed martial arts classic fight.
I don’t think there’s another mma fighter fighting today who comes at you where your strengths are and still beats you up the way Diaz does and did in this fight.
This fight started the way Diaz starts all his fights, challenging who ever he’s fighting to bring it on and usually the opponent tries to bring it as happened in this fight. I don’t think anyone but the guys in Diaz’s corner expected to see Diaz totally outbox Daley, hitting the UK fighter with solid crisp punches and body shots that would stop a heavyweight.

Boxing Results: A Weekend of Upsets

SHOBOX and HBO PPV RESULTS
The weekends boxing results can be best described as a weekend of upsets. The upsets started on Friday night on SHOBOX as welterweight Vincent Arroyo (11-1, 7KO’s) dismantled the 6’4” Willie Nelson (16-1-1, 10KO’s) who had never tasted defeat prior to this fight. At 5’8” Arroyo was just too much for the taller Nelson, height had nothing to do with this fight. A very fast handed Arroyo who also has a solid chin dropped Nelson three times in the fight which I’m sure many gave him little chance of winning. Arroyo showed he’s as tough as they come in earning a unanimous decision.
