Yeah, I know what you mean. He still has a lot to work on. I think he would benefit from more fight experience.
Hmm…I guess I’m in the minority in that I think Velasquez has developed more skills at this point than Carwin?

Shane has insane power…but techinically he’s not as good as Cain in the striking department…not to mention the only bright spot for him against Gonzaga was the big right that put Gonzaga down. Up to that point, Gonzaga was pretty much doing as he pleased.

Gonzaga is really underrated though, going into the fight I said Gonzaga would destroy Carwin… but that’s how it goes with those little gloves. I could easily see Gonzaga defeating Frank Mir, Minotauro and other top HWs. Either way I was impressed with Carwin overcoming that intial adversity and snuffing such a quality opponent.
What I do think would be Velasquez key to victory over Carwin is his stamina and cardio, wearing the big guy down.
Bloody hell.
Oh, I give Carwin props for surviving and winning against a credible opponent as well. I just saw all types of holes in his game that night though.

It kind of goes back to one of my pet peeves: Wrestler-turned-strikers who forget what their MMA base is.
Bloody hell.
Word
I also hate it when wrestlers don’t develop a striking game…ala Matt Hughes…and when strikers don’t develop their ground games ala Cro Cop and Cheick Kongo.
