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

[kegray1]

Well I got lured into Frank"Nothing left in the Tank" Shamrock and Radach killed my Diaz parlay.
Nightmare night for me,lucky thing I had a good baseball and golf day to cushion this beatdown I took from Diaz.
I would be sitting on a monster parlay had Radach finish what he started.

i noticed frank's wife has degraded in the looks department too
:mj07:

she starting to look like a man or a female pro wrestler

Wow... would have flopped dead last night. I thought both Radach and Shamrock would win, although i knew both were competitive fights..

Actually gained some respect for Diaz.. he was 'on' last night and i enjoyed seeing Shamrock get embarrassed. Nick's BJJ was great, and Shamrock wasn't willing to close the distance, which is the key to beating up Diaz.

Radach vs Smith was a pleasure to watch. Great fight. :SIB

I know Kick hates it when people don't make weight but I think you will see this with some of the girls. I think the reason is because of the flucuations they have in their estrogen levels. I cycle different supplements for working out purposes and a few of them help lower my estrogen levels. When this happens I get dry and look more cut up because it cuts more water out of my system. I believe a womens estro kicks up(six five will have to confirm this) when their PMSing which makes them hold more water or what some call bloated. This makes cutting weight a lot harder. I'm not making excuses for them but it does add something to cutting weight that the guys don't have to deal with.

For the record I will be on Cyborg big when she fights Gina. I think she is quicker, has better striking and I can't see Gina wanting to go anywhere close to the ground with Cycborg. Of course this is for entertainment purposes only and I could be dead wrong. :SIB

cyborg here.too.......no contest...

I was at the fights lasts nite and cyborg threw around the japanese girl around like a rag doll Ive seen Gina fight about 3 times. The girl is tough and shes a fighter but Cyborg fought like a dude last nite. It was no contest at all. I'd hate to see Gina get her pretty fave smased in but I dont see her winning that one. Do they do anotomy tests before these ones because Cyborg was looking awfully manly in there.

i totally agree with this, romi....i think there might be a Y chromosome floating around in there somewhere...

gina`s a big strong,thick girl...but she`s all female...not so sure about cyborg...

i didnt bet the Shamrock fight. I just couldn't get out of my head how Baroni after looking silly early still lasted a long time with Shamrock. Which makes me think if Cung Lee is a tad overrated. I use to think Cung was overrated after seeing him fight one of his first fights and the annoncer kept tripping over himself trying to hype Cung. Now that he almost got beat by Shamrock i think there could be some money to be made going against Cung and a good opponent.

 

[layinwood]

Sponge, the moment they put Cung vs someone with either wrestling or bjj(with very good takedowns) I will be putting my money against Cung. His stand up is flashy, I'm not sure how great it is, but they haven't tested him yet. He's been given the Kimbo treatment in a way.
