    Is he not awesome? :D

    Should he gun for Melendez, or move up for a Diaz rematch? :think

    Crazyhorse Bennett rematch :D

    Diaz would beat him, IMO. I'd love to see it though.

    He should fight melendez. Go for the title defend it. maybe move up in time. Diaz would get beaten again if the match remains standing.

    On another note how about KJ calling out floyd, I bet floyd answers the call out:rofl

    No really, after floyd gets an early ko, mayweather can retire for good.:good

    judging from last night, he has the best hands that I've seen mma recently.
    Better than Franky edgar, Blowjob Penn, Pedro Rizzo, Marcus Davis, Chris Lytle, Vitor, etc. Just pure conventional boxing with no extra stuff (Rashad)

    He shows how sloppy most MMA punchers really are. Although not 100%, he has much better technique than most. I love both sports but MMA guys need to learn proper technique. Mo threw a punch that looked more like a serve than a proper right hand. I like Noons but that Bennett loss was bad

    KJ looked real good last night. Thing that bothered me was the ****in crowd booing him during the interview.

    KJ hopefully gets the Diaz rematch and shows the MMA world that Diaz' boxing isn't as great as Frank Shamrock will lead us to believe haha.

    I want to see him avenge his loss then go after Melendez. Melendez needs legit competition. Diaz has people around his weight who he can fight. Diaz is still a good fight though.

    I imagine the booing was from the late punch and the knee to a downed opponent.

    Neither one was really his fault, the punch was thrown before the bell and landed after, the fight should have been called well before the knee.

    Diaz likely works him over in a rematch.

    That was suppose to happen a while back but Crazy ****ed up and took a fight where he lost to an absolute nobody. He saw his money washed away in a night.:-(

    KJ is one of the best. He's up there with the likes of Nick Diaz and BJ Penn but to say he's better than them?:? Maybe on par....but Diaz length would be a problem at this point. Diaz has gotten A LOT better with his boxing and KJ maybe a little better. He didn't do all that great in boxing....he won...but struggled.

    For MMA his boxing is pretty damn good. The knockdown at the end of the first was quality as was the finish.

    At the moment he has plenty of options. I think he should look to fight Melendez first before going after a Diaz rematch as the fight is in his division and Melendez needs an opponent i think. Noons-Melendez would be an entertaining scrap. For what it's worth, I think Diaz would beat him in a rematch but that's just me.

    Noons is an entertaining fighter and someone who I think Strikeforce should work to keep hold of. I just can't bring myself to like Noons though. It's probably something to do with his hair.

    Beating a couple guys coming of losses IMO doestn earn him a shot at Melendez over Josh Thomson. Strikeforce should do the Melendez-Thomson trilogy and I think KJ should go to 170 for a Diaz rematch. We all know the bad blood and history there plus 170 is very thin who the hell will Diaz fight ? Give him a guy hes previously lost to.

    Really? It's so perfect! :yep

    He's also a bone-deep metal head, a Muay Thai guy, and just seems cool in interviews. Being someone who prefers the clean striking end of MMA and doesn't really value much in the sport other than quality stand-up (or truly masterful submissions as applied by BJJ black belts and the like...just can't get into wrestling/GNP, despite respecting the skill involved - it's aesthetically ghastly.) it's a no-brainer that KJ would make me a fan.

    Well I didn't mean right away, necessarily (for a shot against Melendez) but he's certainly a top lightweight so he should be at least on his way into contention if he doesn't move up.

    Did anyone notice that this guy Koed his opponent after the bell? They revived the guy and as soon as he got hit in the next round he was down again.
