unless Lesnar's diverticulosis has caused permanent damage to his body, he should win by ground and pound in round 1
I agree that Lesnar has not had his chin tested. Let us see once Carwin tags him...but small problem, Carwin can hit, so I would not want to see Lesnar get hit by Carwin.
Lesnar gets him to the ground, I think he will pound him...they stay standing, I think Carwin KO's him.
Alot of people seem to think that if Brock gets carwin to the ground he can keep him there. I don't agree. If I remember correctly, Brock took Randy down and was not able to do anything and Lesnar had him outweighed by 65 lbs.Carwin is going to come in at 265-270.
Also, When Shane was tageed hard by gonzaga, he fell to the ground only to stand right back up with Gonzaga on top of him and KO'ed him shortly thereafter.
I'm not a brock hater. I think the guy is a beast, but carwin is right there with him and has looked more impressive at times. I'm counting down the days till this one
O.K., it seems everyone here fails to realize the facts of Brock's MMA career. Every opponent he won against he has outweighed by 40+ lbs. His first fight was a tomato can nobody. He lost to mir by giving him a kneebar. He then DECISIONED a WAAAAAY out of prime heath herring who was out of shape, and who he shouldve knocked out. He then beat a 215lb 46 year old Randy Couture via a lucky shot that he would not have landed if his fists werent the size of a suitcase. He then sat on a 245 lb frank mir for a round and a half, got control of a wrist and punched his face in. Everyone seems to forget that frank landed a 3 punch combo followed by a jumping knee, which stunned brock, who then reached out to grab mir, landed on top of him, woke up, and got the gnp stoppage. ooOOO so impressive. Carwin will weigh at least 270 in good condition for their fight.
I.M.O., this is much more of a test for Lesnar than it is for Carwin. Carwin destroyed a frank mir who was 275lbs in the cage in shape, and has DESTROYED everyone he has fought in the first round for 12 straight fights. Carwin will be composed, come in with a game plan, and finish Lesnar, and we'll have a legitimate, deserving heavyweight champ for the first since Randy.
Lesnar is just a pure monster. Could be the MMA fight of the year here.
lesner does not have a chin.. courture rattled him at 212 pounds or so with a punch.. i think lesner is quicker.. carwin would be wise to let lesner settle in a bit.. lesner is going to come out strong.. carwin needs to be more technical.. i am rooting for carwin.. but i think lesner does it..
