st762410 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 wow!!! oh my gooodnessss!!!! who wouldve thought?!? in the 1st round, lawler looked scared. he was getting torn to pieces by manhoefs kicks and punches. than out of nowhere lawler landed a counter right that landed on the temple, followed by 2 more punches and manhoef was out cold!! alot of people may say it was lucky as lawler was kind of on his last leg (literally), but u have 2 give him the benefit of the doubt and give him props!!! to me this was an upset. yes lawler has punching power, but compared to melvins, he wasnt on the same page. put it this way....melvin is the only man to ever KO mark hunt, and hunt was known to have the best chin in mma. amazing!!

HackBennys Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 That was an AMAZING comeback, and a brutal frickin KO. Melvin was bleeding out his nose and mouth when they showed it up close and his eyes were wide open with his arms extended. He was out for a bit, then started trying to fight the ppl helping him cuz he was so out of it. Amazing upset on Lawler's behalf, but you gotta give him credit. I think if he kept taking a few more of those inside leg kicks he wouldn't have been able to pull that off. Props to him though, and Melvin too. Manhoef was beasting him, but got too excited when he should have stayed relaxed and went for the kill too soon. You can't do that with a guy with as much power in his hands as Lawler.

HackBennys Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 It was one more punch a left hook' date=' but yes it was a nice KO[/quote'] He hit him with the right that knocked him down, the left had him out cold, then another right to the dome when the ref ran in. The OP had it right. Still a great KO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamieMGS Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 It was a sweet connection but i really feel for manhoef, he is one of my favourites and he was really out classing lawler until that point. The rematch would end with lawler on the floor twitching and manhoef with both hands raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st762410 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 It was a sweet connection but i really feel for manhoef' date=' he is one of my favourites and he was really out classing lawler until that point. The rematch would end with lawler on the floor twitching and manhoef with both hands raised. [/quote'] i would have to agree with that. lawler caught him with a counter right hook as melvin started to go in 4 the kill. im sure he thought he had lawler. heck!! everyone thought he had lawler. in the rematch, if there is one, melvin would more than likely win. i didnt think in a 100 years that lawler was gonna ko melvin. i didnt anyone was gonna ko melvin, actually.

DarkReflection Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 That was ****ing sick. I thought Lawler was done...when you got a man kicking YOUR leg above YOUR head repeatedly. You aren't making it far into the fight...I thought it was a matter of time before Lawler was put down...but then....jesus.. It's a CRAZY sport.

KTASlexii Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 You don't like Lawler? Yea I do like him. However there really isn't a need for 3 threads on the same topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
