Stamina and quickness? Brock has the edge there too.

 

Brock has good cardio and great for a big man, but it's nowhere near the cardio that Velasquez has. The only way he's going to slow up Cain's cardio is to beat on him senseless from the outset.

What'll be interesting to see is if Cain decides to not be as much of an aggressor as he is in other fights. If he is, he could walk into a bad situation with Lesnar. Of course, I said the same thing about Carwin and Carwin took it to Lesnar before gassing out. Cain usually goes after his opponents relentlessly in fights from what I recall, and this just wears them out - let's see if he's a bit more cautious in this fight.

 

Brock is just going to be too big for Cain - Lesnar by ground and pound TKO.

 

i'm taking cain in this one... 1st round knockout

 

Did you see the Carwin fight?

 

still doesnt mean he cant get knocked out. lesnar is one scary dude though, i would not want that guy pissed off at me.

 

Cain by decision... Going to be a replay of the Edgar Penn fights, where Edgar, in this case, Cain, was too quick for his opponent. He is going to strike and move.

Kampmann is going KO Shields... Kampmann is an underrated fighter with great standup, I think he is going to catch Shields, who has below average standup


I hope Hammil destroys Tito for what Tito said about the deaf mutes...

 

You're analysis on fights are usually pretty spot on so I'm a bit baffled at your prediction for this one. I know Cain is quick and has good cardio/stamina but I think Brock is equally quick with cardio/stamina that can match up to Cain as well.

I will be utterly shocked if Cain is able to last 5 rounds against Brock by simply striking and moving. I don't think Cain can strike and move like Edgar did and not get worn out or caught with a KO blow...Edgar was like a little crackhead. I think Lesnar will be able to take Cain down fairly easily and once he's on top it's going to be game over.

 

What'd he say?

 

I just think Cain's cardio is going to play a huge role in this fight. I know Brock is a freak and has incredible cardio for a man his size, but he is also heavily muscled and he is more likely to gas before the quick, lighter Cain. If Cain can survive the first round, like Brock did in his fight with Carwin, his confidence is going to sky rocket. I also believe that Cain's kick boxing is going to be a large part of the game play. He is going to kick the crap out of Brock's legs and take the power/explosiveness out of Brock's takedowns, just like Jose Aldo did to Faber. Cain is going to point his way to decision by kicking, jabbing, moving, and nullifying Brock's power by using his speed.

he said some stuff about how deafs have a soft head and bad equilibrium, how they were easier to KO, and beat since they couldn't hear/understand their coaches. How they were slow and couldn't react as fast as most.

 

Was pulling for Matt anyway.

....always nice to see Tito get ktfo.

 

So did Hamill read Tito's lips or was Tito's trash talking closed captioned? I know they used closed captioning when a fighter speaks in a foreign language but I don't think they would for Tito.

 

Pretty interesting interview.

I got Cain winning in the 2nd or 3rd via tko stoppage.

The Sports Science video on him is very interesting. When he plants his feet, he punches with over 2,200 lbs. of force. When he rushes for a takedown he rushes with over 2,700 lbs. of force. Comparable to Dwight Freeney. There will only be a 15-20 lb. weight difference in the fight.

I don't think Cain is going to plant his feet to get the most power out of his punches though because he's going to have to be careful for take downs but I think he'll be able to keep the fight standing and will be able to pick apart Lesnar until Lesnar fatigues then go for a TD and get a stoppage there.

 

i dont think lesnar loses for another 4 or 5 fights. which would be i guess about 1 1/2 years to 2 years from now. and if anyone beats him before those 4 or 5 fights it will be carwin. but it wont the brown pride dude thats for sure.

 

London always has half-handicap redictions.
