↵I think the more Brock can make this a wrestling match, the less likely that Carwin is going to be able to have it his way and win the fight,” said Couture. “I think Brock’s wrestling credentials are stronger and he’s a bigger, generally stronger, more athletic fighter than Carwin. If he can make it a wrestling match and keep it in those terms, he has a very good chance of winning the fight. If he gets sucked in the firefight, throwing four-ounce gloves at one another, anything can happen.
Randy Couture Weighs In On Brock Lesnar v. Shane Carwin
↵↵- Randy Couture speaking to Sherdog about Shane Carwin vs. Brock Lesnar
↵This seems to make sense with what I’ve thought of the fight since it was announced. Brock is a very good wrestler and very strong but Carwin’s punching power is scary. Lesnar can not make the same mistake that Frank Mir did against Carwin and get lazy in the clinch. Once Carwin had Mir against the fence and Mir relaxed rather than making him work it allowed Shane to drop bombs and knock Mir out.
↵Brock needs to push forward and keep his back off the cage. If he can make Carwin work hard without landing punches I think it will be Shane that is the first to gas. In a pure fight I think Lesnar has the advantage but if they turn it into a slugfest Carwin’s insane power will likely be the deciding factor.
