I can see the 60 for Shane. That nose was bad. I expect Him to return at the bigger size again, and be ready to thump. The Shane Carwin we saw against JDS was not what he should have been. He seemed a bit lost, and I think underconfident. Not to take anything away from JDS, who was being just a bit more cautious than normal. Speaking only for myself, I think i expected more of a bang from both fighters, but specifically Shane Carwin.
more of a bang would occur if it were a neanderbrawl. JDS although he likes to knock peoples heads off is a more skilled striker. I’m sure he didn’t want to get into a slugfest with Carwin
Agreed. I understand that, although I did expect the neanderbrawl from Carwin lol.
Over confident or under estimating JDS, just like “the natural” saying he solve the puzzle like machida…
