    Brown is the real deal. Looks a little stiff with his stand-up but obviously has the speed/accuracy to make it work.

    I think its more a case of strength and KO power. Not sure of what to make of how long Garcia lasted. The fight was over with the first hit, but it took him a while to finish. Is this a reflection on Garcia or Brown?

    Dunno - in that fight and in his fight with Faber (admittedly the only 2 of his I've seen) he was quick to take advantage of the opening when it happened and landed the shot well, in particular the Faber fight. Also seems confident enough in his speed to stalk without much head movement or lateral movement.

    Yeah, his hands look speedy alright, and when he lands he's putting force on your face.

    I think a lesser fighter than Garcia would have been done and not held on so long. I think a lesser figher than Brown would have let it get out of the first.

    He didn't freak out, just stayed applying pressure to a weakened opponent until he got what he wanted.

    Good show from him i think.

    Does he cut a lot of weight? Reckon he would look huge even at lightweight (155).:eek:
