Strikeforce: "Shamrock vs. Diaz", April 11th, San Jose, CA

[kickserv]

Good......this should happen EVERY TIME somebody misses weight.


Enough of this crap.......you don't make weight, you don't fight and ALL YOUR money goes to your opponent, enough of this shit:nono:


Hitomi Akano gets royally fucked. Travels all the way from Japan and this happens. Total bullshit move from Santos:nono:

 

[weepaul]

I have 2 bets for this event

Diaz to beat Shamrock at +160.

Humphrey's to beat Rogers at +340.
I don't think Rogers should be such a heavy favourite.

I was tempted to bet Damm at +260 but after watching the weigh in, I think Melendez is just too big.

Good luck all :toast: :toast: :toast:

Good stuff from Frank as usual:

I?ll hit him with a right hand to the body, then a right uppercut, and then a left hook, and then he?ll fall down. And then I?ll either jump on him or let him back up. I?ll probably jump on him because I?m getting too old to be dancing around up there."

i`ve got so much riding on the card next week,i shouldn`t touch anything until that`s over...i`m nickel and diming myself with silly stuff(like the lacy under parlay:jerkit: )just to have some action while i should just be patient and wait on silva....

but i really want to take a small shot with diaz...at +168...i don`t know what shamrock has left...diaz is hot and cold,but his striking,length, and youth are enough to make me try it small....

i think it would be smart for shamrock to take him to the ground where he can use his strength advantage...diaz may be jiu jitsu proficient,but he only has one sub since 2003...

 

[kegray1]

Frank said he was gonna drop him in round 1 and finish him. Frank would never lie to me.

yep. Look for a quick stoppage when cyborg hits her a few times. :moon:

 

[kegray1]

MJ'ers have bullied me into a Diaz play as I have added him in a payday parlay(above).

what`s the reasoning behind radach being the fave vs smith?...

looks to me like this stays standing and that smith has fought better competition and has the better chin.......

It should be a war. 15 of Radach's 19 wins are by TKO/KO. He's very powerful and more explosive than Smith. His record is a bit misleading.. one of his TKO losses was a broken jaw (Leben) and one stopped due to a pretty nasty cut (Sherk).

Smith has fought better competition and has been the busier fighter of late. But, most of his losses were standup wars... maybe that's why? :shrug:

Both guys bring it every time, but I think Radach wins.

i may play smith small because he`s a little more controlled...and throws straighter punches...and has a better chin...

but,radach is a wild man...he`ll come out throwing from the cheap seats...

first one that lands wins...

i`ve been treading water lately,so i`m a decent fade....haven`t put much time into capping.... ...

just holding on till next week...

Woo Hoo.......Brett wins....kickserv happy

Cyborg looks about 30 pounds heavier than Akano. Ridiculous... what a joke. going to the third round though!

 

[kickserv]

I had money on Cyborg but I wanted her to lose....huge props to Akano....Cyborg should be ashamed of herself:nono:

 

[Ghost Kid]
