    He makes a good point about the best wrestler in the States now being a former DII wrestler. It doesn't follow that DI guys are better, though theres a correlation obviously. More to the point, Lesnar is somewhat overrated as a wrestler, having the DI winner never make anywhere near world class is disappointing. Now, I dont see Carwin scoring a double leg on Brock, but he could tie up and be competitive and wear him out like Randy was.

    Carwin is a very live dog in this fight.

    Easy guy to like. Let's hope he can get past the size advantages of Lesnar.

    Carwin is a MASSIVE man. He's 260lbs and 6ft 4. Brock has his hands full. Plus he has fight ending power in either hand. Will be interesting to say the least.

    Shane is a very well conditioned big man. More so than Lesnar infact who carrys alot of excess bulk.

    i think its more lesnars athleticism rather than his size which will cause the most problems for carwin, carwin is only gonna be 10 maybe 15lbs lighter come fight night

    I am afraid what happens if Carwin lands on his back. I hope Carwin comes away with the win though
