[VIDEO] Nick Diaz sparring like a beast against Omar Henry

[-Boxzilla-]

1) i didn't say he didn't look like crap..... But he wasn't in the 3 and 4th round of the sparring....


2) They wouldn't be as a harsh because they know and also hes trainin in it right now....

just thought u were prob getting alittle too defensive ... and surprising they wouldnt be hard on omar. if i was watchin him practice and he looked as bad as diaz did im sure i would tear into him just as hard

[Luilun]

He better stick to MMA where you need no skills just choking and a haye maker

[Fistic]

Ok and I train in Boxing which is part of my MMA training and I could tell even with th flat footedness it was all in preperation or his fight with Paul Daley....

I hear you, but still flat-footedness cant be a good thing in any combat sport can it?

I mean we are talking about movement, balance and timing--offense and defense....

MMA gloves are 4oz but you don't take a tenth of the shots you do in boxing. There's a lot of clinching, knees, elbows, kicks, wrestling..etc...

He wouldn't last long with that defense in a pro boxing match against a world class fighter.

MMa gloves are probably closer to 5 oz. On top of that, the extra weight is simply aruond the wrist and top of the hand for further protection. The actuall knuckle area, esp on the reyes glove...I can't see it being any less padded. In Fact a reyes glove might hurt even more.

MMA and boxing are two different sports and you need different stances for each one for defensive and offensive purposes.

Saying that, I think Nick Diaz is a good fighter and most here talking **** would get KO'd by him in a boxing sparring match. He just has a certain style that I don't think would win many fights in boxing but would make for exciting brawls.

what diaz is saying i agree with, but that was a mess .... i dunno how that was owning etc. but ufc has gotten really boring imo of late. i hate the latest wave of wrestler dominance and boring grinded out wins. all that grappling on the cage that goes on i find painful to watch as well ... im ready to shut it off and just watch fights that i know from buzz are good.

actually lately ive been watching cards in 2x fast forward cause the majority i just find straight out boring. and i say this as a guy who used to follow the sport quite closely before. i actually credit ufc for getting me into boxing hardcore about 4-5 yrs ago. but it hasnt been on a great run of late imo. even this seasons tuf is just plain not watchable

ive thought the same thing ... but get shot down for mentioning it for the most part. ya our gloves at 147 below are 8oz but thats distributed throught the whole glove not just in the knuckle area. i think the difference really is lack of defense and the fact that these guys are throwing haymakers more then glove size weight

one of my biggest reasons in him likely not being effective in boxing is total lack of speed ...

[BorderPatrol]

LMAOOOOOO!!!!

That Diaz fella is a complete and utter joke. I would mercilessly **** him in the ring. Literally, **** him.

Awful footwork. Piss-poor hand-speed. Zero-skill.

Internet tough guys... We all know at least 20 of em.

I wish Pride was still alive.....


Yellow Cards kept Fighters from stalling (10% purse deduction).... they need that in Boxing as well

take away elbows..... Heck keep knees and kicks to the head of a grounded opponent but elbows slow the paste of the fight and allow wrestlers to dominate.....


The judge the fight as a whole instead of using the crappy 10 point must system....

hahahah Chavez Jr. will knock Diaz ass out in 1 round if they fight in the ring hahaha
