The only problem with that is that BROCK couldn't take Carwin down. Say what you want about that guy but he has one hell of a double leg... I'm confident he'll wreck Carwin standing too, but with Carwin he's got scary, scary knock out power... He doesn't even have to land clean to put someone's lights out.
Gonna have a 3k flutter on Carwin. Think/Want JDS to win but its worth having a gamble on Carwin, presuming his arms don't gas be could knock Junior out.
As long as carwin doesnt get gassed he will win by K.O, either way though this is a better match up even though i like brock and he has a excellent wrestling pedigree, this fight will defintly have a explosive finish
I put a small bet on Carwin. Putting large bets on Heavyweight fights is too much of a gambler's game for me. Nothing is certain when guys can hit that hard. I think Carwin has the edge though. Slightly longer reach, in my opinion more power, and the better wrestling. JDS has the better boxing, is quicker and has better cardio but I'm putting my small bet on Carwin tagging him and putting him to sleep.
50k on JDS. I think he has Carwin beat on the ground and standing. Carwin has the power but I think JDS has the chin and technique to avoid taking too many big shots. I see Carwin wilting in the second just like vs Lesnar.
