Lorenzo : Velasquez vs Mir in the works

He could punch him in the face, he seems to go rubbery legged quite easily

 

Cain was rocked badly against Kongo so yea, Mir could land a haymaker and have him on queerstreet.

 

If Cain has a brain, he'll keep it standing.

 

I'd strongly favour Mir to get the rubbery-legs way before Cain would in a stand-up fight here.

 

It's 50/50 in that regard for me Popkins, which is why Im looking forward to this one< But I do think Mir has the slightly better stand up

 

What happened to the Bigfoot vs Cain fight? I was looking forward to that.

 

I don't see it. I like Mir as a fighter, but I just think Cain is a better kickboxer and I think Mir would definitely break first. His punch resistance was **** vs Nog, and at this point Nog is no Cigano.

 

Me too.

 

Besides what Rogan is saying pre fight, Ive yet to see Cain kickbox effectively, except for a few cautious leg kicks. Mir did much better job of stricking v both Kongo, and Brock 2, until he decided he was Uriah Faber

Got any examples of his KB skills on display? Been a while since I have watched a Cain fight tbh

 

cain will win but it'll be competitive. People think of velasquez way too highly

 

This isn't an easy fight to pick. Frank is Chinny...no questions on that...But with Kongo and JDS doing what they did dose show that Cain might not take a big punch... Frank dose have a good punch when it lands..but will go with Cain. Think his hand speed is faster and to where Frank was beaten up on the ground from a much stronger Brock... Cain is a much faster ground wrestler the Brock. Going to be a good fight.

 

People underestimate Big Nogs punch power... He is known throughout his career as a submission artist but everyone who has sparred with him say when he connects he hits like a ****in freight train.

 

People are forgetting Nog tagged Cain aswell, but Cain caught him with the definition of a eyes closed swing from the hips bunch of Hail Mary's . Dont understand Popkins and Winfella rating his kickboxing as more than function as a means to close the distance and work his ground and pound

Mir is no Tyson by any stretch, but his punches are snappier, he actually moves his head and throws combos and has good power.

 

Cain is going to have a huge speed advantage over Mir. It's very likely that he (Cain) will beat him in the same way he beat Nog.
