its quite scary for middleweights to fight this guy, considering he has put MANY heavyweights to sleep! he can stan up with any HW, so the wise thing for lawler would be to take him down. if lawler couldnt handle pete spratts striking, then melvin is a bigger better version of spratt. i see a stoppage win in favour of melvin manhoef!
I think Manhoef will take this, but Lawler himself has the power to trouble Manhoef. He has said he wants to stand and trade with Manhoef. Either way, I don't see this fight going to the 2nd round. Manhoef by KO (possibly an early contender for KO of the year).
I was right about a 1st round KO (and an early contender for KO of the year) but it didn't go the way I expected. atsch
