↵Elvis Sinosic: Both guys are very dangerous and have the ability to end the fight in the blink of an eye. Carwin has heavy hands; Mir’s submission ability is instantaneous. Mir also has power standing. I think Carwin has more power, though. Saying that, I think Mir has the better technique, as Carwin, though he has a great chin, tends to get tagged early. I think Mir will most likely tag Carwin early and look for a submission. My pick is Mir, though Carwin has the ability to end the fight at any point with a single shot.

Fighters Favor Frank Mir To Defeat Shane Carwin
↵Only two fighters picked Shane Carwin to pull off the victory with only one undecided. Mir currently sits as the favorite with the bookmakers as well with odds ranging between -150 and -165.
↵The big thing that stands out to me here is that Shane Carwin has not had to fight for more than two minutes since his first pro fight, which lasted 2:11. Mir is not likely to be so easily put away, so much of the fight comes down to how much gas Carwin has in the third minute and beyond. If Frank can push the pace and force Carwin to tire, he may be able to find victory with much more ease in the second or third round.
