Shane Carwin: Brock Lesnar Can't Take My Punch

[gainmusclefast]

"Depending on how my body feels. It [training] can be anywhere from you know maybe 4-to-6 hours [a day]."

"I�m walking about 285 right now?"

"I don�t think any man could take one of my punches if it hits right."

"Heh heh. A knockout. I don�t know which round, but a knockout. I hope it�s a bit of a war."

"That would be nice. I could stop answering all these questions about later rounds and my cardio."

"Yeah, you know, I train at 6,000 feet and that I think makes it a big factor for any fight."

"You know I could see it taking place both spots but I would love for him to try to stand and trade with me."

[Von Brawn]

He better come with a plan to gas Brock out, because if common sense dictates Brock's game-plan; he won't stand with Shane Carwin until he's too tired to take him down.

Carwin is a decent wrestler...he may be able to stuff the takedowns. And if he can...this fight gets VERY interesting.

It's funny to me when people start questioning his gas tank...no, we really haven't seen him go into a long fight, but unless he's just dicking around with his conditioning....doing it at 6K feet has GOT to help a brutha out...lol.

[sh4un]

I thought there would be more media surrounding Brock this close to the fight, but alot of it is focusing on Shane. Gonna be interesting.

and Carwin walking around right now at 285? You guys think hes really that heavy right now?

Brock doesn't like the media (srs). Carwin used to be a SHW, so it wouldn't surprise me.

[King Baer]

Absolutely no doubt in my mind Carwin takes this.

I will be putting a few hundo on him (srs).

I'm really starting to swing that way myself too. When's the last time a guy came off a layoff like that and looked like himself? Well...besides Carwin lol

looks like thats the consensus from what ive been hearing. nice to that ******* lesnar is going down.

yep....then I can see a rematch....Lesnar is going to make a career out of rematches...

[HardGainer82]

lol Fedor doesn't have layoffs, he just waits.

X2 I train every weekend on a mountain starting from 6k elevation and you can feel the difference, especially when I hit the 10,000 feet mark

[LatsMakeTheMan]

In a fight between two gigantic heavyweights, I've got to to with the guy who has the tools to end it quickly, that being Carwin.

I just don't think Brock has any reliable means of winning besides dragging out a decision.

[Johnnyramon4]

Yeah, I mean he trains at Greg Jacksons with all the wrestlers...

It's such a shame rep betting has been made illegal, this would be an awesome fight to put some reps for my boy Brock .

[Tamorlane]

I have a couple of questions:

i.) How does dropping a significant amount of weight (10-50lbs) before a fight effect the fighter's cardio, strength, etc.?

ii.) Wasn't Shane Carwin in the original UFC's? I was just watching them with a buddy (the one's with Royce Gracie winning) and I saw Shayne Carwin fight. That would make him a vet right?

[CtrlAltElite]

IDK if Brock will get kocked out. But I see Carwin winning, might stun brock then pound him out on the ground for a TKO.

As far as i'm aware, he never fought in the original UFCs.

He got taken down by Napo Gonzaga. And it looked like he failed on more than one occasion while trying to take Mir down (Although he later claimed his gameplan was to keep him up against the cage).

Brock has better technical striking and GnP... only way I see Carwin capitalizing is with his raw KO power or by gassing Brock. If Brock were fighting consistently, I would probably favor him.

i) Depends on the fighter and how experienced they are with cutting.

ii) No you didn't.

1 depends totally on the fighter and how well there body handles cutting.

2 you didnt i would say you saw carwins early mma fights outside of the ufc. but he has only had 12 fights i think and wasnt around for the early ufcs

Yes, but he can still gas out weather it be nerves, mental conditioning, or the pace of the fight.

BJ Penn did all that high altitude training **** against GSP, sleeping in that tent that supposed to mimic high elevation to increase your blood count... and guess what? he still got winded.

[ciscovoiceguy]

Brock Lesnar will win in my estimation.

I dont think any man can take what Lesnar brings to the ring.

Never believe that anyone is impervious to a knockout.

Ask the cali kid.

We all know that anyone is capable of winning (Serra vs GSP #1).
Could happen once every million fights and just so happened on #1.

I could be wrong but I wouldnt bet against Lesnar until some beats his ass real good.

[ChiefRocka]

I'm looking forward to this...Its like 2 caged Grizzly bears going head to head. I'm rooting for Carwin but think Lesnar's main goal will be to suppress his hand attack and he has what it takes to do so. Either way I expect some interesting moments.

Don't think I said it would be impossible for him to gas out. Just that in spite of none of his fights showing what kind of conditioning Carwin has, considering he lives/trains at that altitude the majority of the time (as opposed to training just before a fight), that would make me want to give him credit for having some wind as opposed to SO many people who just write him off automatically.

[GBLynden]

It is 50/50 in my mind. Everyone doesn't give Brock enough credit for his hands and that is a mistake.

The problem that most people have with giving Lesnar credit for his hands is that we haven't seen too much of them.

It's hard to give someone credit for something we haven't really seen, ya know?

You called Brocks striking technical.... HAHAHAA.







Hahahahahaha.

Brock is strong but that doesn't mean he's a KO puncher, at least on the level that Carwin is. As for his skills with his hands, they are rudimentary at best.

[ciscovoiceguy]

I can concede all of these points.

We could speculate a gazillion reason for either one to lose.

I prefer to pick the fight winner based on both being at the top of their game in this fight.

I thinK Lesnar will come out on top.

Could either get caught with KO punch?

Again, anyone can.

My gut says Lesnar.

Lesnar could lose for any gazillion reasons so could shane.

Got to go with my gut on it. (I might add that its a rather sizeable gut too)
