Let me say first that I would be delighted if Cain can somehow take Brock into the 4th and 5th and drown him there–but c'mon people. Brock was doing fine round 3 with Heath Herring.
The entire, ENTIRE debate about Brock Lesnar was whether he could take a punch. Was he going to be a pure wrestler and turn away, get awkward and timid if and when he gets hit? This is not the case, Couture hit him and Carwin blasted him. He doesn't mind getting hit? Game over. There is no heavyweight in the world with his combination of talents and athletic ability.
I can see the reasoning–Carwin brutalized Brock standing, and then fell apart from asthma or gassing or just blowing his wad. Cain won't do that. I get that.
But I just think Brock is way too much for Cain, he's still an unstoppable force, a freak, far too quick for a man that size.
I would be absolutely DELIGHTED by Cain winning, but I can't see it. However, it is an extremely entertaining fight, and for a lot of reasons I hope Cain wins (AKA being one of them).
