I would agree with you if Carwin's blows were actually landing. Throwing punches that don't land on an opponent who is rocked do not equate to ref stoppage.

At first I thought the ref should have stopped it at about 3 mins in, but after watching a replay Carwin was really just hitting Brock's arms. If he had gone around the sides of Brocks blocks, they might have called it. But he didnt, so congrats to Lesnar on the win. Id like to see a rematch one day

Yea, it wasn't even close to the same thing. I'm a boxing fan and I hate premature stoppages. Carwin wasn't landing on Brock most of that time, and everytime he did, Brock would move, push off or grab a wrist. Brock stood right up afterwards and held Shane up against the fence. Mir had to be helped onto a stool.
