Uwillsubmit Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 looking to the up coming fight between maynard and florian and i cant help but think back to how diaz really tooled maynard in the striking department....i know people clown on diaz's striking because he lacks power...but he is very acurate and uses his range well. Now IMO kenny is a more technically efficent striker with more power and i can see this fight finishing badly for maynard if it stays on the feet which i believe it will. I cant over look the fact of how bad maynard got schooled by diaz on the feet...i think kenny ends this in rnd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgivemyhonesty Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 If Maynard keeps this fight standing, he will get shredded. Maynard is a great wrestler and Kenny will have to prepare for that if he is going to win. I don't think Maynard will be so careless this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodus9mm Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I think Florian is a much better all-round fighter, and I'm with the OP; if this stays standing, Maynard is in trouble. Florian, 3rd round TKO..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chosen_st Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Some more Diaz haters... to try and argue that their boxing isn't in the upper echelon of MMA regardless of how much power they pack is just plain ignorance on your part. They constantly outstrike opponents in the stand up game, even guys like Maynard who are supposed to be title contenders. To be honest, how the hell would we know how good Nate's striking is against some of these better fighters in 155... everytime he gets in the ring with one of them they turn that **** into a wrestling match and lay on him for 15 rounds. Guida did it, Stevenson did it, and everyone thought Maynard would do it too. Little did he know that if he wanted to stand and bang he would end up looking foolish and losing a title shot. You can continue to argue all you want, but their boxing prowess is undeniable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiccoli Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I find it funny and ignorant that your opinion is valid and everyone who disagrees is a "Diaz hater" I respect your opinion...I just think your wrong on many levels...Almost everyone in this thread says Kenny is a better striker. The assuption that they all hate the Diaz brothers shows what an idiot and how disrespectful and uncreadable you are dude...just satin'....

MysticKJ Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 KenFlo is the better striker imo...also, Diaz doesn't necessarily lack power, he chooses not to throw with power, focusing more on timing and placement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fasha1874 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I think Kenny Florian has better stand up all round but Nate Diaz has better boxing due to his reach utilization. Kenny is the better fighter but Nate has a long time to get to that level. No way does Maynard stand with Florian. Hope Florian throws him a beating that would be sweet.

Doctor_Obviously Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Florian vs Gomi is proof how much better Kenny has gotten at striking. Diaz, although not a bad striker himself has the reach advantage.....but Ken-Flo's accuracy is getting better and better. Florian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raoullduke Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 diaz has a quality jab but other than that i don't really think of him as good striker, he doesn't mix it up enough. its rare he ever throws a kick or a knee (i think he would have beat maynard that time if he'd threw some high kicks, he either would have cought him or grey would have instinctivly took him down and got subbed). kenny is much more diverse, his punches might not be as crisp as diaz's. but he has a full arsenal of strikes. decent punches, knees and kicks. and some of the best elbows in MMA.
