    Good thing he's strong (and schooled) enough to get most anybody off their feet.

    He won't be knocked out trying either, not unless he runs into a harder puncher than Carwin.

    Cain should test him further. If he passes the Cain Velasquez test, we can officially graduate Lesnar summa cum lauda as a legit elite MMA heavyweight.

    Yeah...?

    Mir might have done the same, had he made it out of the first round.

    Unlike Frank, Brock did.

    I think Cain will get molested by Lesnar to big and too strong. What does Cain bring to threaten Lesnar? IMO Lesnar takes him down and beats the living **** out of him early.

    More like because he might punch even harder than Carwin, and we won't know for sure until we can gauge their effect on common opposition (most likely starting with Brock).

    If he folds under a similar attack from Velasquez - we know who's the bigger puncher.

    I should have clarified "test his chin". Lesnar's grappling credentials are already a known commodity.

    His stand-up will probably never be good. As long as he can keep making it a moot point, so what?

    Good slam by Harris earlier as well nice fight ender and showed good sportsmanship by not following it up.

    Wtf was that other guy thinking? Trying the Koala climb twice? I couldn't tell where he was going with it. He got dumped the first time he tried it and he obviously didn't have any submission skill off his back.:patsch

    i might have my fights mixed up...i apologize ahead of time if i do. The fight coming in was constantly broken up by Radar interference on my ship.Are we talking about the last of the Preliminary fights?

    And if he was, you could have fooled me. He seemed pretty content to just stay on his back and try and get stood back up to keep boxing.

    I haven't seen anyone say Brock has a glass jaw or anything.

    It's certainly not glass.

    It isn't iron either, though.

    He was wobbled and in trouble the first time someone his own size finally hit him.

    He's somewhere in the middle, in between glass and iron. Further data is needed to reach a conclusion as to just where on that long sliding scale he falls.

    Those two or three uppercuts from the top by Carwin would of had a lot of people out i reckon, some brutal shots.

    On the Koala climb i have no idea what he was up to either he didn't seem to be attempting anything from it and was lucky to not get dumped hard on the first one.
