Outstanding main event & outstanding card altogether. Brock Lesnar with an outstanding champions performance. He showed great heart, determination & chin to comeback after Carwin's onslaught.. actually making it back to his feet & controlling Carwin for the last min or so.
First round was definatly Carwin's, Brock made one mistake & that was he threw a punch stood still & covered up. Carwin led in with an uppercut that wobbled him, which eventually led to him kinda slumbling down when Carwin was pressuring him.
He didn't actually take too many punches that landed cleanly, Carwin must have thrown about 60+ punches & 90% of them where on Lesnar's arms. I don't think he had hurt Lesnar as much as he perhaps thought he had & he ended up making himself very tired. Had the fight went to a decision the first round could have been crucial, could very well have been a 10 - 8 round on some of the judges scorecards.
2nd Round was short & sweet, Lesnar looked far fresher & Carwin looked like he had been starved of oxygen for a week. Lesnar took him down with a lovely little fient & he showed just how much his game is improving with an impressive arm triangle.
On the ground & in the clinch Lesnar is a beast, however his standup needs some fine tuning. Currently his standup isn't as bad as his haters like to think it is, he needs to work on his technique a little more so he doesn't make the same mistake he did against Carwin tonight that could have cost him the fight. Rule 1 of boxing is punch & move is it not.
Anyway great fight from Lesnar, his haters will now have to pin their hopes on Velasquez being able to stop him.
