Carwin has crazy power in his hands, but Overeem has crisp striking to the point of ridiculousness and I think he outpoints Carwin all night long. Carwin's never fought somebody with a good size advantage on him and we know Overeem can take a punch, so I think it all really comes down to the explosiveness in Carwin's shot, because if he can get this to the ground, the striking edge is null and void.
Personally, I think Overeem's power and technical striking will keep Carwin at bey with BRUTAL legkicks and distance too long and eventually Overeem will rock him and sink in the guillotine. I don't think I've ever seen somebody toss a man Rogers' size with the ease Overeem did last night and that scared me a little. Carwin's a big, powerful fighter, but I think Overeem's striking is on another planet and Carwin'll be hardpressed to secure a shot without eating something really grizzly on the way in.
