brock

andy bolton · 10-04-2009, 08:04 AM

what do you guys on here think of lesner good or bad and do you think he will win next fight

burningNun · 10-04-2009, 08:15 AM

He's good even though lots of people hate him. Probably the favourite in his next fight with Carwin but Carwin could knock him out so it's fairly hard to call.

I think you could take him though

GODAMN at 360lbs he better be able to take him.

burningNun · 10-04-2009, 08:19 AM

And at 205 lbs you should be able to take Pacquiao, right?

ArmbarTapout · 10-04-2009, 03:12 PM

Man I wish more people on this board would talk about Lesnar. He is hardly ever mentioned in any of the discussions. It's like he doesn't even exist......

someonefat · 10-05-2009, 04:28 AM

dont like his attitude but can't deny he is a good fighter, I am rooting for carwin also and think he has a very legit shot of beating him.

You have to admit, after the Mir fight when he gave the fans the bird I thought that was funny.

Without people like him doing stupid stuff like this, it would just be boring.

blurrr · 10-05-2009, 08:15 AM

Oh you mean go back to respectful fighters that don't give the fans the bird and cherish their sponsors?

Yeah how boring.

don't talk to andy bolton that way. (yes serious)

any man who pulls 1000 lbs can talk about whatever the hell he wants!

Welcome aboard Andy

AWhislyle · 10-05-2009, 08:39 AM

I'm rooting for Carwin in the next fight, but if I was betting, depending on the odds, I would bet on Lesnar.

Because people have always had this dogmatic stance that "size and power don't matter in a fight". Sure technique is far more important but technique will never make a 140lb man win against 250lb man. It kills these people to admit that a big strong person is on top of the MMA world proving their original assertions wrong, so they conveniently ignore it.

Edit: It seems that you were being sarcastic. I don't frequent this section much.

Wow.

Just making a point, not exact weight.

Deathstroke · 10-05-2009, 09:48 AM

I like him alot as a fighter. I actually didn't think he deserved a shot at the title so fast but I think he's proving himself a worthy champion.

As for his attitude, well, I don't remember him saying anything bad about Randy before or after the fight because Randy is obviously a class act.

Herring and especially Mir talked sh*t about him. And Herring and his camp were saying alot of negative things about Lesnar too. So if they're going to have that attitude and show no respect for him then he can do the same toward them before and even after the fight ends which he did to Herring then Mir after he beat them.

Flipping off the crowd in response to their boo's and all that seemed unnecessary. But to me he's only disrespectful when he responds to others who're disrespecting him.

At the end of the day, I think alot of it is him marketing himself. Kind of like Tito although maybe he takes it further. But if you're a UFC fighter like Carwin and don't approve of the way he conducts himself or his antics then you'll probably have to beat him decisively and go out there and shut him up hard yourself which should not be an easy task.

I'm picking Brock way over Carwin though I do respect Carwin and the power he has in his hands and realise he has a chance.

dannyautrey · 10-05-2009, 09:51 AM

I agree with Andy Bolton on whatever he says...

Lol. Jk. I'm a lesnar fan. Part of it has to do with what skinnycalves said. "True mma fans" seem to have a problem with size and strength. Its like some of them want to overcomplicate the sport. I'm not a huge fan of the sport, but its pretty easy for me to see that someone with a lot of strength and size and moderate skill can beat a smaller, more skilled fighter.

*inserts image of Bob Sapp getting ankle locked by the little asian guy*

That's 300 + losing to like a 150

Bob is not imprezzed with your postformance

Deathstroke · 10-05-2009, 10:12 AM

NO THREAD HIJACK but I just realised that's Andy Bolton. Holy sh*t! Had no idea he was a member here but should have known. Respect all your strength training accomplisments, you sir are a legendary strongman even though Brock beats Carwin.

K back on topic. (Sorry guise, I've just been a fan and he's been an inspiration many times in the past. Wow.).

andy bolton appreciation thread now

andy, you should work with mir to get his strength up. that way next fight, he can deadlift him out of the octagon

beaucephus · 10-05-2009, 10:53 AM

I think Brock will be around for a while in MMA, but I think a loss is coming soon, either by Carwin or whoever he fights after Carwin.

I simply think he has the poorest standup game in the sport and once a pitbull like Cain Velasquez gets one solid shot in on him, he's going to capitalize upon that and not let up. Mir was fighting him scared and too light, but if Mir had capitalized upon that knee, it could have very well swung in his favor.

A guy like Congo with really accurate hands is going to be a big problem for Lesnar. I think Carwin is Lesnars biggest problem in the HW division, but it boils down to one well-placed punch and then capitalizing on that punch.

However, I think Lesnar is the #1 HW for a reason, he deserves to be there. Everyone else is a challenger.
