The fact that he took two good hits off Gonzaga and still managed to win makes me more confident in him.
I don't think it went long enough to be classified as getting tooled. Ultimately, he took Gonzaga's best but Gonzaga didn't take his.
Hard to say GG was 'tooling' him. he was winning till geting ktfo but short fight. hopefully brock is 100%. should be a great fight. having seen this and sc vs mir, i'd favor brock. Unlike mir and gonzaga, lesnar ain't gonna be put to sleep or near so by a great shot or two. As strong and powerful as carwin is, brock's more so imo
He got took down, got right back up and nailed with 2-3 clean punches not really a schooling in a minute or 2. Just like Mir-Lesnar I come on how bad where they really being beat in 1-2 minutes.
Carwin wasn't getting tooled by Gonzaga though. He took Gonzaga's best, kept standing, then knocked him cold with one short shot. All in all, hard evidence of a serious heavyweight striker... exactly the type of fighter that Lesnar will not enjoy fighting.
one of the main difference between the two is brockz got SPEED if i waz brock i would stuff my ego and forget stand up with carwin. yeah sure maybe brock could take him standing up head to head but WHY risk it? fake the stand up and use his speed to get him on the ground. brock is very mobile, fast and STRONG on the ground. carwin is simply STRONG on the ground. IMO if brock keepz carwin down he should have a good chance to beat his way to a victory
Gonzaga has the superior standup. Will be interesting to see both men on their backs though. I have a feeling this fight will be a case of whomever executes first wins.
Carwin has heavy hands no question about that. But as a striker he is very unpolished. Im not even sure what he's main strength is as he overwealms guys with his sheer size and physical strenth.
shyte i thought the carwin gonzaga fight waz carwinz standout fight he getz HAMMERED by a huge gonzaga strike, he is temperarilly stunned, gonzaga goes to dump him and cant because of carwinz strength, gonzaga leg sweepz his feet out and landz in perfect position, gonzaga great on the ground has trouble with carwinz strength and keepz fighting for position, carwin keepz hiz kewl and temperarily stallz gonzaga from getting into better position, gonzaga takez a split second to think what to do about it, carwin usez that split second to STAND up from a deadly ground fighter, as soon as carwin getz up he hammerz gonzaga into oblivion with one shot
If Lesnar is even a shadow of his former self he will handle Carwin with ease, IMO. And he WILL take Shane down.
