Barnett was right, he just went straight back and Rogers has surprisingly fast hands.
I don't think I've ever seen a volume puncher in MMA like Diaz. In boxing yes but not MMA. The fight was pretty much over the first real left hook to the body that Diaz landed, every single one after that folded Smith. Diaz can look so awkward with his strikes sometimes but he'll throw four or five pushed shots which look harmless and then sneak in a good left. He's gotta get caught at some point doing that showboating, he seems to have a good chin but with those small gloves its gotta hurt him at some point. Maybe it already has and I wasn't watching. He did come out the second round with his hands up.
The whole time they were talking about how Smith looked uncomfortable on his feet he was doing some things. Nice choke but from what I've been told standing up like Lawler did is the wrong thing to do.
Anyway I was desperate for something with this slow boxing weekend, it was fairly entertaining.
