Nate Diaz had the crowd. He just never had the judges, who awarded a hard-fought unanimous-decision win in Dallas on Saturday night at the American Airlines Center.In what was an obvious choice to anyone but the throngs of disappointed Diaz fans, Paul's 10-round effort was too much to ignore. He not only knocked down the UFC legend in the fifth, but was easily better in all but one or two rounds as he bounced back from his first professional defeat to Tommy Fury, whom he mentioned as a potential future opponent afterwards.For Paul, whose status as a social media influencer was mentioned by ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. before the fight, there is always a question of legitimacy as a boxer.
