It's going to be two huge guys going at it.
I can almost see the dollar signs in his eyes
Who knows, maybe Carwin will get lucky, but I don't see him doing much better than Mir. I do like this better than Velasquez at least
Oh, there's little doubt in my mind Carwin will do better than Mir, simply due to style.
Carwin and Lesnar are almost carbon copies of each other. Both are huge, massive wrestlers with heavy hands. Carwin isn't going to flop to his back and concede the takedown like Mir. This fight is going to be a battle of wrestling and slugging. Brock will definitely have a strength and wrestling advantage. Will it be enough to take Carwin down? I'm not so sure, especially when Couture pretty much drew even with Brock in the wrestling aspect of their fight. And who will have the striking/heavy hands advantage? That's the question in my mind.
Carwin is a perfect 11-0, with no fights going to decision. He clearly has heavy hands, and so does Brock. If this one ends in the first round, it will be because of a big overhand right, not because someone was taken down and pounded on, imo.
edit: Agreed with Blackmage. Losing the Cain/Carwin fight is completely made up by seeing Carwin take on Brock, and Cain against Rothwell. Rothwell will be a very good test for Cain.
