Has anyone beaten a Diaz brother using a mostly boxing oriented strategy?

[Dream20]

The reason I ask is because I think they have some of the best pure mma boxing in the UFC.


Just take a look at Nate's record. I think all of his losses have come due to either wrestling or effective leg kicks.


I have no reason to believe Conor can out box Diaz. So he will probably have to come up with some other strategy if he can.

Nick Diaz vs Jeremy Jackson, Nick Diaz vs KJ Noons 1

KJ Noons in his first fight with Nick . . .

 

[KantoTerror]

Noons. Only because Noons is a boxer and has no chance vs. Nick on the ground.

Sean Sherk

Diesel Riggs also surprisingly outboxed Nick

The only way Conor wins this fight is via early KO.

He can't stand or go to the ground with Nate, and he for sure can't beat him in a 5 round decision.

Noons. Only because Noons is a boxer and has no chance vs. Nick on the ground.

And Nick just fights wherever his opponent wants to.
He stood and banged with Paul Daley even though his big edge would have been on the ground.

Koji Oshi VS Nate is the last one that hasnt been mentioned yet

Lol

 

[HUGHPHUG]

Sean Sherk

That was my first thought

 

[NotoriousJoker]

I thought Conor was going to come in with better kicks....was disappointed.

No, I doubt Conor or any fighter in the LW division can out box Nate because of his reach.

Though I do think Lawler could take out Nick in a boxing slugfest.

Can't believe Noons beat him. Noons got destroyed by a street fighter, Masvidal. Shows how shit noons boxing was against a counter striker. I sent Noons a message about his strategy with Masvidal and why his trainers didn't adjust standup game to deal with the counter (which was what masvidal was known for, that's his sole style), he just got mad and told me I'm a bum lol, we got beef.

Diaz beat him twice.

And now he's in prison.... for a long time.

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

They've certainly been outstruck numerous times, but the current version of Nate Diaz will prove very difficult to outdo in terms of straight boxing. That being said, RDA displayed the ultimate blueprint to destroying a Diaz standing up... unfortunately for most the key first step is to be RDA.

Why do people still think this stupid shit? Daleys TDD is definitely above average and Nicks takedowns are complete shit.
