Well who in MMA has perfect boxing ? Nick surely has no defense but offensivly hes tough to deal with being a southpaw and having that reach and hes always throwing not many fighters in MMA have a punch output like he does and it bothers opponets.
Hey! He's no world-beater, but he's a solid B- competitor, I'd say well-roundedly average in every department, and good enough to beat a guy who had a close fight with (and submitted) Gomi. I like the kid and look forward to seeing more of him (especially as he's young with plenty of time to develop).
I'd just like to add my 2 cents to the whole Noons/Diaz fiasco the other night. From what I saw it was Noons's father that started getting hostile and yelling at the Diaz brothers. then it was Noons himself that started to come after them. They did the right thing and got the hell out of the ring right away....so what if they stuck their fingers up. All the bashing I've seen on them from posters on the internet is absolutely ridiculous.
I agree it did seem like Noons Sr was the one who started the hollering and I suppose one of the Diazs said something back which lead the the shoving. Not that it makes Nick Diaz coming in the ring with no class after KJs big win any better but Noons father should just keep his mouth shut and act above that stuff considering hes twice the age of these guys.
I would have done the same thing, a couple punks come in the ring to ruin my sons celebration and dedication to me on fathers day, these little pricks shouldn't have even been there.
Look I dont see Diaz beating KJ Noons, not at all, infact Noons has some very good boxing skills, a freind of mine faught on the same card as he did a few years back and guess what KJ was a Boxer known as Karl Noons, anyhow he whipped the **** out of his opponent. The reason I am saying this is becuase I just found the poster my friend signed for me and KJ is on it, I couldnt beleive it was the same guy because knowing what I saw in that Boxing match I beleived that Noons was a hot prospect he seemed to have it all.
He's a ****, but I really like watching his fights, always entertaining. An entertaining character in general, the sport needs clowns that can also bring a fight. His BJJ skill is very good, his boxing skill is not horrible at all, his defence is boxing, but he does put together combo's well and normally tears his opponent up if they themselves are not top level stand up fighters.
Exactly, even the Aina and Corberry fights were fun to watch at the very least, it's never full with him.
