Strikeforce- Diaz vs Noons 2 (Discussion Thread)

But not now, and he's said top 5, after tonight, without really looking at it, Thompson gets into the top 10 though, but I said a win tonight would in a thread earlier.

I'd stick JZ in the top ten before him based on that fight.

I think JZ won after rewatching it, but I got to give the guy with the win the higher spot

Neither are top 10.

I forgot to mention that Noons fought retarded last night. He kept trying to sit down, get Diaz to over commit to set up the massive hook that destroyed Gurgel, instead of moving his head and boxing the longer, rangy fighter.

well typically, in a boxing match, the shorter fighter needs to get inside and then begin to work, but Noons needed to be careful of getting clinched and brought to the ground, thus he kept his distance, and tried to land big counter shots, like he did in the first fight. But Diaz used his reach very well, worked that jab, did not leave himself open to the big counters. I do think Noons should have tried to be busier and to vary his attack a little more, but Diaz poses matchup problems that are difficult to overcome.
