Strikeforce April 9th Diaz vs Daley

[Thewisemann]

I give Diaz the edge, but I also think he is too confident in his chin, and one of these days someone is gonna make him pay, that someone could be Daley. Plus I doubt Diaz can get this too the mat.
Kawajiri may outwrestle Melendez, so its worth a play IMO

I think Daley is worth a bet too. Diaz vs. Daley in what will basically be a kickboxing match (most likely). I haven't seen anyone hang with Daley yet standing, but I have only seen him fight a handful of times).

I think Diaz vs. Noons 2 could give you a good idea about how the fight will play out

[MMA_scientist]

That was a close fight, and some people think Noons won. Daley also has more power and speed than Noons IMO.

Never seen that one, did Thompson beat him standing?

Thanks for posting that.

That does not give me a lot of confidence in Diaz's striking. Daley dropped hime (Thompson) in the first. He looked like he gassed out and Thompson started to take over, but a lot of the decision was probably based on the ground work. What I did take away from that is that Diaz is probably a lock for rounds 4 and 5 if it goes that long.

Daley said earlier this year that he wanted more time before his shittle tot because he needed to get in shape. I prob wont be betting it for that reason.

Daley didnt gas vs Kos, and that was mostly wrestling.

I don't know... he was not defending those takedowns at the end at all. He was just flopping down in defeat IIRC.

That was also 3 rounds

[Thewisemann]

i dont think Daley willgas standing if he is in the same shape he was vs Kos

Kawajiri is worth a bet imo. He is close to +200 and it's probably going to be a very evenly matched and close fight.
