Diaz v Noons II

I'm surprised that we've not seen more talk about this one. Then again, I've not been on here too much lately so maybe I've missed it. Really looking forward to this fight. I'm going with my homie Diaz for this one.

I think Diaz takes it in the later rds

i went for noons.

first fight one had a clear striking advantage, and diaz could not take noons down. i am just going by that.

iv gone for diaz to edge him maybe just pick him apart.

think diaz will take this by sub rd 3

I'm going with Noons for the same reasons as Chesty.

I like Diaz but doesn't have the best take downs and if he tries to stand with Noons I think he'll get battered. Diaz was rocked against Zaromskis and Mach was doing really well standing with him before he threw the fight away. I don't think at this moment, either of those guys have as good as stand up as Noons.

The more i think about this, the more I'm thinking of changing my pick. I want Diaz to win but I think Noons can beat him like the last time. Diaz's big advantage will be in size. Noons is a 155er. They fought at 160 last time.

Ye well that actually leaves some doubt about in my mind about my pick. I just keep wondering if Diaz cut too much last time and drained himself so he was easy pickings for Noons. Is a 170 Diaz going to be that much better than a 160 Diaz? At the same time, Noons is small but he is also hard to get hold of and is very quick so I don't know.

I'm pretty much the opposite to Anfield. Picked Noons in the prediction league, but, the more I think about it, the more I see the Mongoloid Diaz winning. Diaz has improved so much since that fight, I have a sneaky feeling that he may just edge it.

william hill have put odds on this fight:

diaz - 2/5
noons - 7/4

I am going with Diaz. Noons is moving up from light weight so Diaz will have the size and reach advantage.

I think Diaz should have learned from his multiple UFC looses how important game plans are. I dont think this fight will be a boxing match

I got Noons in this one I actually have a feeling Diaz is getting stopped early unlike Whitemare If KJ hurts him he isn't going to get wreckless and use his chin as his defence.

Is anyone making an appearance on Chat box tonight while watch this?

Anfield?????
tonight should be where we find out which one of us is gonna win the Cup.

I've got my kids this weekend mate, i doubt i'll last til the event. Wrecked tired!

I'm going with Diaz on this one. He's improved by such a long way since when the two last fought. I don't think Diaz could make 160 now even if he tried (and I doubt that helped much with his bleeding last time). What I've loved about Diaz in his last couple of fights is his shear output, the guy throws like a million punches a round and seems to be able to do that four five rounds. The longer the fight goes on, the more chance Diaz has of winning this fight.

I think the biggest change since their last fight is the size of Noon's hair.

Personally, if Noons loses, I'd love to see him fight Hands of Steel, as power punching Scott Smith versus technical punching KJ Noons would be awesome. And next for Diaz has to be a fight with Mayhem Miller as that would bring in a whole host of lay viewers for Strikeforce, viewers who only know the guys as being involved in the fracas on CBS.

Cheers, fella. I didn't realise that will hill had expanded their MMA betting beyond Zuffa. Now I have more ways to get rid of money!

I might be around if I can get a decent stream, going to have to run my laptop through my TV though so would only be on chatbox between rounds.
