It's apparently the time of the day for another Diaz thread. A few a day lately. This will keep up until March. Then it will switch to. Ok this GSP fight was a realy loss.
Diaz robbed KJ in the 2nd fight, but no one ever talks about that. Diaz got beat on by a fat LW.
He didn't rob him LOL. I just want to see how everyone's gonna react. I did score the fight for KJ though.
I don't think the major issue with Diaz (and many fans) is that he was robbed according to the current scoring system. I think they major issues Diaz always had (and still has) is that the scoring system is flawed. So in his (and many fans') mind he is winning the fight b/c he isn't getting hurt and he's trying to finish from every position. Therefore he feels he was robbed.
Diaz did nothing to win the Sherk and Sanchez fights. No reasonable scoring system could be constructed for him to win either. And Riggs was just as aggressive and trying to finish the fight as diaz so it will always be close.
What I don't get is that if you watch a highlight of Diaz vs Sanchez (or just the entire fight)
You can see that Sanchez didn't do anything, he was constantly defending and Diaz reversed him multiple times and dropped Sanchez in the third round.
He didn't even control Diaz on the ground.

Or you could watch the entire fight and see that Sanchez was standing above diaz throwing some hard gnp for 90 percent of the fight.

...only the Joe Riggs fight was a "robbery".
Here are Diaz's losses and how I scored them:
Diaz vs Jeremy Jackson (2002): KO loss. Definitely NOT a premature stoppage, if anything it was a very late stoppage. The ref was probably waiting for Diaz to go unconscious. Even when Jackson was announced as a winner, Diaz didn't know what had happened and he asked the ref what is going on here.
Diaz vs Kuniyoshi Hironaka (2002): In the first round and the first half of the 2nd round Diaz was dominated and constantly get pounded on by Hironaka. But in the 2nd half of round 2, Diaz did well, and the 3rd round was also close. But overall I felt you would have to give Hironaka 2 rounds, so NOT A ROBBERY in my opinion. I can see somehow scoring this fight a draw though.
Diaz vs Karo Parisyan (2004): Parisyan won rounds 1 and 3, Diaz won round 2. Parisyan looked gassed out in the 2nd round, but found his 2nd wind and won round 3 - so I had Parisyan winning 2 rounds to 1. NOT a robbery
Diaz vs Diego Sanchez (2005): unbelievable fight and Sanchez won all 3 rounds. Even though Diaz was defending well on the ground, he was always getting taken down and Sanchez was pounding on him. Great fight but not close - clear Sanchez win. So NOT A ROBBERY
Diaz vs Joe Riggs (2006): I saw this fight about a year ago and I felt Diaz won the fight. I don't remember how I scored it, but I do remember that I had the feeling that Riggs did definitely not win this fight. So I say this was a "robbery".
Diaz vs Sean Sherk (2006): Sherk is a short guy with a lot of strength, throws sharp combinations and Diaz couldn't find an answer for it. Diaz' takedown defense worked well at times, sometimes though it didn't work and he got taken down. Overall I gave all 3 rounds to Sherk, rounds 2 and 3 were closer than the first. But in my opinion there is no way Diaz won this fight.So NOT A ROBBERY
Diaz vs KJ Noons I (2007): KJ Noons wins the first round and Diaz has two bad cuts in the face and the doctor stops the fight before round 2. Nothing wrong with the stoppage.
Does anybody disagree with me? Cause sometimes I read here on sherdog that Diaz got robbed quite a few times. That is why I wanted to find out for myself.
