Jake Paul details the one difference between him and Anderson Silva that helped him win their fight
Pro-boxer Jake Paul has credited his victory over Anderson Silva to the body shots that he landed on 'The Spider'.
On October 29, 'The Problem Child' faced 'The Spider' in an eight-round fight at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. Despite this being one of his toughest fights to date, Paul was able to walk away with a unanimous decision victory.
Paul discussed his victory over Silva on a recent episode of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. He claimed that the body shots, which his opponent didn't expect at all, made all the difference in the fight:
"I threw way, way more body shots than him [Silva]. And I think that was the difference really in the fight...and it slowed him down as the later rounds went on...and I saw it. I saw it in his eyes. So, I don't think he was expecting that from me to throw that many body shots."
While the 25-year-old was aware of his opponent's toughness, he believes being able to damage his opponent's body helped him get his hand raised at the end of the eighth round.

Jake Paul wants to fight Nate Diaz after backstage altercation at Silva vs. Paul
In the post-fight presser of his recently concluded fight, Jake Paul addressed the physical altercation that occurred between his team and Nate Diaz's.
The pro-boxer stated that Diaz's actions were characteristic of the Stockton-native and challenged the former UFC welterweight to settle it in the boxing ring:
"Nate Diaz was here acting like a b**ch. He tried to fight people in the hallway you know. Nate, stop fighting people for free. Let's do it in the ring, okay? I just know there was an altercation with my team... I was focused on what was going on but...it's just typical of him. That's what he likes to do. He is a street gangster. He likes to act tough... Why are you trying to beat someone up in the hallway, bro?"
