I really wouldn't be so sure of a Lesnar win. For a start, it is quite obvious he scares easily. In a real fight, he might end up cowering in a corner, begging for forgiveness from the likes of Vitali.
He looks terrified when he takes a punch, and has a glass jaw to boot. He wouldn't beat a 0-10 guy in pro boxing, and that's no joke either. He has no boxing skills, none.
Man cats need to be easy on Brock. His issue is never training hands or fighting off of his back. Funny. Brock has champion syndrome. How do you know a Boxing champ is going down? He fires his original or best trainer! The one that didn't kiss his ass! My guess is Brock runs his training camp. "I don't like boxing..." "BJJ? Man F that...."
Brock would win against any boxer in the world as long as he can get a takedown before any boxers punch lands on his chin, he looked good for the first minute, worked well, he just has no stamina and can't pace himself. Realistically Brock would get annihilated in a boxing match, and it would probably be 50-50 chance against a good boxer in a mma fight cause he sucks. Cain worked really well against the fence, controlling the wrists, legs wide, as soon as he got back up from the first takedown and circled back to the middle of the cage, it was clear Brock was already gassed, and then with his oversized head, cain had no problem landing any punches. I'll agree with you for the skill-less part as long as you talk about Lesnar, but it's obvious you know jack about mma if you think Cain didn't showcase great takedown defense skills and fairly good mma boxing in this fight. Sure you'll say his boxing was sub-par, but this sport is not boxing. There is no doubt that if Lesnar gets a hold of ANY boxer like he did on Velasquez, the boxer is going down and is getting GnP'ed to death. ''all of those rednecks and suburbanites (ie: MMA fans)'' I don't know many rednecks from Canada, which is close to being the biggest mma fanbase. :good
Cain recovered from two of Lesnar's takedowns, and stuffed out several more attempts especially when Lesnar was pinning him against the cage. Cain's wrestling skills was the biggest factor in his win; the strikes was merely the icing on the cake. Cain has a far more distinguished wrestling career, and won by using his superior wrestling skills to recover and keep it standing. Carwin isn't that great a wrestler, and look how easily Lesnar controlled him in the second round after he stopped trying to stand up and trade and revert back to his wrestling.
Are you kidding? Carwin stuffed everything Brock through at him in the first, by the second round he was completely gassed. Brock's mma wrestling is very overrated, everybody who had halfway decent wrestling kept the fight standing. Also Cain doesn't have a more distinguished wrestling career at all, Lesnar does. It means nothing when you are scared to get hit and are mentally fragile. To be fair i think he is past his physical prime as well.
Cain was a two time all american wrestler for ****s sake. It's a lot harder to "stuff the takedown" than it sounds against a nearly 280 pound man who trained in wrestling his entire life. The people that aren't "for real" are the people who still desperately cling to boxing as the ultimate self defense which is downright idiotic and think people like Wladimir Klitschko would beat Lesnar in the octagon.
