Okay, so I was wrong about this one. Everything was going as I was expecting until Gabriel Gonzaga got lazy with his defense and Shane Carwin let loose one of those cinder blocks he calls hands. What most impressed me was that Carwin managed to get back to his feet after Gonzaga had him on his back. Gonzaga knocks people out so people forget, but the guy is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion. And he's big. And he had Shane Carwin on his back. And, uh, then he got knocked out; which is a testament to what a beast Shane Carwin is. A tip of my hat to Carwin for proving me wrong and for being born with the genes of a silverback gorilla.
