Yeah but he looks amazing compared to most UFC fighters just because he respects boxing and knows how to throw punches correctly

Carwins always been crude as hell, whenever your chances are "punchers chance" you're basically screwed

 

Yes, but I think I saw him asking something about stopping from Carwin while/and he took a break from pounding. Maybe Carwin said stop but decided to continue..

 

You should of listened to me Stoo I'm brilliant at picking the results of the last UFC cards every time I get it right like I've seen it before or something. I've been to the doctor to get it checked out. Medical marvel I am

 

Well, at least Junior knew to use the jab a bit

 

Dos Santos is the man! His boxing skills are pretty good for an MMA fighter.

 

well i bet the first may seem slow but after you get hit by that the rest seem to be lighting fast.
bare in mind he is a HW also which mosley and mayweather arent

 

Not to mention they are 240/255 lb HWs and have to train for wrestling and other disciplines so they have a different bodyshape which makes them slower.

 

Dos Santos has the idea of boxing, it shows he trains with boxers. He was using the jab, controlling the distance, going downstairs and upstairs. With that said, he still has a lot to learn, throwing wild hay makers and uppercuts from long distance, though he could get away with it due to him having an opponent who that not able to make him pay.

 

Personally i think Herb should have stopped it. Carwin took ALOT of damage. These aren't small men. (to think i way more than JDS!!! :admin). Carwin's a warrior though. Found the fight quite anticlimactic though. Was like watching an amateur boxing match.
