Real or fake wrestling? If real, then you should know that Carwin was a D2 wrestler as well and won a state championship I believe. So, they both are real ncaa wrestlers who won championships.
@Class - Im with you on this one. This will be the biggest test for Brock in my eyes. If he wins this fight then I really dont think anyone can beat him. He beat the shit out of Mir twice, even though he lost the first fight...he was still dominating that fight until he got locked up. So he has already proven that he can beat the shit out of someone with a dope submission game. Then, if he can beat Carwin...he will have proven that he can beat a brute force type of fighter as well.
I think he's gunna beat Carwin. I dont see anybody being able to knock Lesnar out. And thats kinda Carwins game. Has carwin even gone a full 3 rounds before? Who knows if he even has the stamina to do that....
Plus, they both weigh the same, but, Brock is still much much bigger. When brock gets on top of him, its gunna be next to impossible to get him off. Even if you can bench 265...lifting body weight is totally different especially when that body is trying to stay on top of you.
Then again, Brock hasnt really stepped up to a guy who has that type of power behind his punch.
Anyways, biggest test for Brock. If Brock wins it, I think he will be champ for a long ass time, as long as he keeps working on submission defenses. Cuz, I think thats the only way you will be able to beat brock. After he beats Carwin...He'll probably go against that Cain Valasquez guy, and once he beats him he'll probably end up getting matched with submission and martial arts fighters. I personally think he should start training for that now.
Anybody watching this right now? Its on right?
