Buster Doulgas...Oops I mean NY Giants Shock the World. Larry's thoughts on Lesnar/Mir fight. Weekend Boxing Results

I'm writing this post in Giants Blue in tribute!!. Unreal. Unbelievable. Amazing. Your boy Larry Lump has a few shots and beers in him right now after seeing his NY Giants shock da world against the Patriots. I mean this is one of the biggest upsets in a championship game...period. That last drive was out of control. The play when Manning was 99.5% sacked and then David Tyree catches a pass using his head....just out of control!!! This is one hangover that is worth it!

So about that Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir fight on Saturday night. If you did not see it YouTube has a few links (they probably will be taken down soon so check quick!). Don't forget to sort your search results by Date Added.

I honestly believe that even though Brock had to submit via the knee bar he still has a future in the UFC. Brock controlled 98% of the fight, unfortunelty he did not control the last 2% which is when he got snagged. Classic example of experience winning over strenghth. I mean during the entire fight Brock was landing bombs on Mir's head and I almost thought they were going to stop it at one point. But Mir weathered the storm, missed on an arm bar or two, and finally was able to grab the big man's leg and make him tap out. Honestly I think Dana White jumped the gun on this one. He has the great name brand talent (Lesnar) with huge potential and he puts him in his first UFC fight with an ex-heavyweight champ, co-headlining a PPV event. I mean come on man, why don't you ease the guy into the sport. Let him get 2-3 tune ups under his belt first. Mike Tyson who was the youngest heavyweight champ ever had 27 fights before getting a title shot. He fought a ton of buttercups and no one ever questioned the fact that he was the baddest man on the planet at that time.

Hopefully Brock will regroup, learn some better defense and bounce back in his next MMA fight. As for Mir, he showed heart, smarts, and skills, it was a nice job all around. He deserves a shot at a top 5 contender.

Here are the rest of the weekend fight results.
