But last night he tried to BOX with a boxer, and a boxer will always be able to counter a guy who likes to stand but isn't himself a boxer.

I want to see a rematch too. I believe Nick was losing, but I do now concede that a good takedown artist like couture WILL get a boxer down. But my contention is still the same...the sprawl is easier to to teach than boxing and it's harder to take them down than people think. Noons showed it last night, but maybe Nick will get him down next time. Two very good, tactical fighters.

IMO Nick came in that fight WAY over confident.....He was using the Crazy Horse loss as his guide to judge Noons....and he paid for it ....I like the guy as a fighter but he is a sore loser.....

KJ may prove to be a great mixed martial artist but his career up to this point to include winning a 1 round fight due to cuts isn't anything to get all that excited about YET.

I wouldn't call Noons a world calss boxer in fact some of those shots were WIDE as all hell but he used it enough to catch Diaz beiing careless...In MMA 7 fights is better then no considering some of those guys throw punches like bar drunks....

Hard to actually judge what he has since both opps were so lousy.....
