Ive seen the ref stop it for less but what happend next proves he made the right call. If it was an undercard fight any other fighter would have been stopped but because its Brock the ref let it go on.
Carwin has pretty poor cardio and was completely gassed after just a couple minutes of fighting. At his age I cant see his stamina improving. He is a 1 round fighter but if it goes past 5 minutes then he is there for the taking.
Brock has proven himself. I wasnt convinced after his first 3 fights but his last 2 have been exceptional and he has taken his game to another level. I was impressed with his ability to absorb ground and pound and comeback strong. I wasnt so impressed how he had an Audleyesk reaction to punches in stand up, turning his back, running away etc. Brock is the last person you would have expected to be falling around and cowering away but Shane is a massive hitter so we cant call Brock chinny.
Im going with Brock against Velasquez.
