he doesnt seem to have the one hit KO power but all those little punches keep landing and add up

Pitter Pat Power!!!!!!!!

Look at the guys KO%. We did not need this fight to prove anything.

take that to all the anti diaz shit talkers. Dont confuse Nate with Nick. In the words of Frank Shamrok... "Nicks punches scrambled my brain"

Nick Diaz is fuckin awesome.

This Is SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He did put Lawler to sleep with one punch though.

Shamrock also said that the punches didn't hurt they confused him.

Nick will never have what it takes against elite competition, Z just made his name doing something he MIGHT not do ever again with the KO head kicks. He didn't even throw a head kick and he was lost.

Frank also said Cung Le's kicks and punches don't hurt. I don't think Frank realizes that punches and strikes stop hurting once your knocked half the fuck out.

You must not have seen that fight. Diaz hurt Lawler a ton and finally finished him.

Frank said the weird angles from which Diaz threw punches caused him confusion. Nick isn't a big puncher, but it doesn't take big punches to knock people out. Just hit your opponent in the right place and they're out. He's unorthodox in his striking and it's awesome. I was stressing, though, when he got knocked down. Happy to see him recover and win.

Ya, in that case Houston Alexander put Jardine to sleep with one knee(never mind the 20 other shots)

And, I wouldn't say he put him to sleep. Shit, Lawler was back on his feet within a second or so. But, after seeing that fight, I became a Diaz fan. Diaz has his own striking technique, which hasn't really failed him yet, and that's what I like about him.

He doesn't have the best punching power. It took him 95 connected punches to finish the fight. Now his stand up game is far from weak.

Its been a while but yea It was one punch that put him out. He landed a few shots in the first round and knocked him out in the second with 1 punch.

In the end it was one punch, right on the button, and Lawler's footing was way off. Diaz is one of the lighter weight fighters who really uses his reach to an advantage.

He looked good.

I knew Zaromskis is small for a welterweight but with somebody lanky like Diaz, he just looked completley overmatched. He could not keep Diaz from hitting him.

I think shamrock was confused when u made that statement.

It's hard to head kick a guy who is way taller then you. And as noted during the fight, the way Diaz holds his arms out there makes it difficult as well.

Well he doesn't have one punch KO power. and that has alot to do with how he delivers the punches, and that is a conscientious decision. I think he could throw with more power, but it would open him up more, and not allow him to throw as many punches as he does.

But the guy obviously has power.
