Thread: Shane Carwin just KO'd Frank Mir, is Lesnar next ?

After all the shit Mir talked, he went and got his ass knocked out in three mins against Carwin...

That now makes Shane Carwin 12-0, with all 12 wins coming by first round KO.

Also the same year that Lesnar was Div I NCAA wrestling champ, Carwin was Div II NCAA champ.

I think he's got a good shot at KO'n Lesnar's punk ass.

Anyone else think so ?

Mir is no joke so that is a huge win for him. He must have some punch but I look at the size of Brock Lesnar and can't imagine him being hurt by mere punches.

I think Lesnar beats him but it will be a great fight. Throw Cain Velasquez into the mix and the UFC heavyweight division is finally looking interesting.

Carwin looked great. Mir just couldn't escape from him. Even those kness to the leg must've been really painful. Haven't seen much of Carwin before, but I was impressed - looks like a really valid challenge for Lesnar (who surely must have a couple of 'tune up' fights)

Carwin v Fedor would be very interesting imo

Lesnar is very vulnerable to normal punches, I think that a puncher with good skills and power could knock him down and I think Carwin could be that guy.

Lets not forget how easily Gonzaga took Carwin down when he tried to wrestle with him.

When Lesnar fights Carwin expect a performance like GSP where he starts the fight taking Carwin down and keeps him there for the next 4 rounds.

Gonzaga also rocked Carwin with punches. Meaning Lesnar could KO carwin possibly himself.

But Gonzaga got KTFO by Carwin too.

12-0 with 12 first round KO's is something.

Lesnar was rocked by Randy Couture and Heath Herring went the full 3 rounds with him.

Yeah but Lesnar is a better wrestler then Carwin and he is naturally big with his strength aside from just size like Mir was trying to put down.

Lesnar will put on a GSP LnP performance

I have this sneaky feeling that Carwin really could knock Brock out. It's like Godzilla fighting King Kong, anything can happen in this. I just feel Carwin has the better hands.

Yep.

He's got a damn good punchers chance.

I got to see both the Mir/ Carwin & Hardy/ GSP fights last night on UK Tele last night (Five). All I can say is iv'e never been so impressed by a Cage fight.

The level of control that the respective winners exerted on their opponents was amazing. I mean, I don't get to watch MMA events much so I could be amazed by something that is trivial but Jesus Christ could you physically dominate an opponent any more than Carwin and George Saint-Pierre did?

How Hardy has an arm left, i'll never know

Heavyweight division is getting very tasty, Lesnar, Carwin, Velasquez, Dos Santos and Fedor (if Dana can get him)

I did practice that kind of lock very often and seriously, the guy has some elastic arms, I can't understand why nothing did break.

Carwin will destroy the entertainer, Brock should be at the bottom working his way up like everyone else. and leave the wwf antics at home in his trailer house

Brock seems like the kinda fighter that gets casual fans, like myself interested.
I don't know too much about UFC but it seems that Dana White likes a good ol hype machine so for him Brock is a bit of a golden boy.

Either way I'm sure it would make for an entertaining fight.

lets not forget carwin is the same size as lesnar, he is also a great wreslter, and has better hands than lesnar imo.....the only thing about lesnar is he is fucking explosives.....i cant wait for this fight, its gonna be godzilla vs king kong in there
