Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal finally settled their differences in the boxing ring on July 6. MMA News has the results and highlights here!

The long-awaited rematch between Diaz and Masvidal occurred on July 6 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Both fighters have waited nearly five years to fight each other again after their first encounter at UFC 244 in 2019. However, instead of competing in MMA, they ran it back in the boxing ring.

In the fight, Diaz overwhelmed Masvidal with punches for ten rounds. The former BMF Champion did his best to keep his opponent off him with power punches but couldn’t stop the pressure from the California native. Ultimately, the fight went the distance, with Diaz winning by majority decision.  

Elsewhere on the card, Anthony Pettis faced Chris Avila in a light heavyweight contest. Pettis was coming off a debut win over boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. by a majority decision last year. However, the former UFC champion couldn’t replicate his success, as Avila controlled the fight to earn a comfortable unanimous decision win.

Former UFC stars Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal are set to weigh in today ahead of their rematch in the boxing ring this Saturday. MMA News has the results here!

The rivalry between Diaz and Masvidal has returned to the surface this year. In 2019, they faced each other in the main event of UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. UFC fans expected the matchup to be an action-packed fight, as both had an impressive win before the event. Unfortunately, it ended in anticlimactic fashion with Masvidal winning by doctor’s stoppage.

Both fighters will seek a more decisive victory in the boxing ring tomorrow. Ahead of the event, all fighters must weigh in today to make it official.

Fans of Diaz are hoping he is coming into his rematch against “Gamebred” more motivated than he has in past fights. In his most recent outing last August, he made his professional boxing debut against Jake Paul. Diaz showed spurts of competitiveness but was outmatched and knocked down in the contest, which Paul won by unanimous decision.

This Saturday marks a big night for the California native as he tries to prove that he still has more left in his combat sports career.

For Masvidal, he is no stranger to competing in a boxing ring. He has one win on his pro boxing record after defeating Joseph Benjamin by majority decision in 2005. Although he has fared better in the sport than Diaz, the former BMF champion’s win from 19 years ago was a four-round fight. Saturday’s matchup will be a 10-round affair, which some fans believe could benefit Diaz more than the Miami native.

That said, Masvidal has shared in the lead-up to his showdown with his rival that he plans to get a knockout to settle their issues for good.

Masvidal vs. Diaz will occur at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The main card will start at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT on Fanmio for $49.99. Fans looking to watch the card on DAZN must be subscribed and buy the pay-per-view.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. took on Daniel Jacobs from the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona last night (Sat. December 20, 2019).

The crowd was very pro-Chavez, who came out to support the son of the Mexican boxing legend, who was also in attendance for the bout. However, after the fifth round, Chavez said he could no longer continue citing an injured hand. His coach, Freddie Roach, claimed Chavez suffered from a busted nose and couldn’t breathe.

Here’s the footage from Chavez’s corner when he determined he could no longer continue.

Chavez’s father was also caught on footage the moment the stoppage was announced, and he hung his head in shame, covering his face with his hand.

The crowd went nuts, immediately throwing things into the crowd.

Chavez Jr., who came into the fight overweight and has a long history of having his heart and fighter’s spirit questioned, offered his explanation for the stoppage soon after.

What do you think about Chavez Jr. quitting against Jacobs and his father’s reaction?
