I'd love to see Shane win the title, but he doesn't have the quickness to hang with the young studs Cain & JDS

Prediction: wrong Carwin   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I'll take Carwin in this one. Dos Santos, is a great guy and watching the show I've become a huge fan of him seeing to how nice he is. But Carwin is going to go hulk smash on his face.

Prediction: wrong Carwin   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I just think nobody in the heavyweight division can eat Carwins punches. The best shot to win is to get him on his back like Brock did.

Gonna go with Carwin. He might not have the speed but I see him clinching JDS like he did Mir and KOing hiom.

Prediction: wrong Carwin   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

While I agree he will be more patient, I think Carwin will finnish this in the first round. I think he will actually stand in the center and just trade with JDS, take him down and work some GnP if he has to.

I'm going to go with Carwin as well. I had it a toss up before because JDS is more technical and he's going to be quicker. More gas in his tank and has been active lately. Carwin has a short amount of time to prepare and has to be very ready to make it into the deeper rounds. He has wrestling and he hasn't show cased it to take it to the ground, but JDS has a brown belt....I don't think he can do anything with a huge Carwin on top of him. 
I have Carwin also pulling off the W in the 2nd round.

Prediction: correct dos Santos   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I got JDS because Carwin was wobbled in the Gonzaga fight but came back with a wild right to win. Therefore, I'm going with Dos Santos to use his technique, accuracy, and foot work and KO Carwin.  Even though he doesn't have the same kind of power that Carwin does, JDS is still powerful on his feet and he's very fast for a heavyweight

Carwin gasses when he throws a million punches in one round. He only has to touch JDS.

@yaspaa im pretty sure JDS is aware of that and his gameplan will adapt to that fact in order to win.....

Jaffa, every fighter ussually understands his opponent gameplan. In this case it doesn't much matter.

It would be a safe bet to say that these two will have a similar game plan.  Go in there and punch the other guy in the face until he's unconscious.

I gotta go with Dos Santos. I think his technique will be the deciding factor over Carwin's power.
