KJ Noons Wants To Make a Statement in Boxing

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

As the multi-disciplined sport of Mixed Martial Arts continues its meteoric rise in popularity, its combatants can’t help being drawn back to their original disciplines. For former MMA lightweight champion of EliteXC Karl “KJ” Noons, that calling is the sweet science of boxing. [details]

KJ Noons is the only guy i like in the MMA. Probably cuz he likes staying on his feet and boxing more than going to the ground. His boxing ability is really good and it seems like he has some power. I hope he stays in boxing and makes it.

Yo is this the guy that wouldn't give Nick Diaz his rematch?

[MJ406]

yep, and KJ hasn't fought an MMA fight since the whole Diaz rematch situation/conflict.

it ended up with KJ getting stripped of his title.

**I see on boxrec that after tonight, he has another fight scheduled for August 22

good news as at 26 yeards old, he really needs to be fighting more frequently if he wants to get anywhere in boxing.

[MaYaN_SuN]

Yeah I thought so...Nick Diaz is hilarious though, I was reading some of his quotes at an MMA website and I couldn't stop laughin. I think Diaz is fightin Scott Smith next, which is crazy cause Smith has a crazy punch.

[Texanballer]

I may go and watch, seems like a decent card with fair matchups, something that isnt common in houston fight cards.

[Texanballer]

wow, nevermind, the guy Dat Nguyen is fighting is coming off a near 9 year layoff

[mrpain81]

Too bad he's not very good...
