Melvin proved he could beat Lawler in that fight. That no look punch was Robbies last stand before laying down because he could not walk anymore. It was a good punch from RL, but gimme a freakin break.

You must have great "Superman eagle eye" vision, or you simply have no idea what you are talking about. Lawler replicated his style from Mike Tyson which was the "pee-ka-boo" bob and weave style.
Lawler bobbed his head under and weaved around to counter with the right hook. That is why his head was down, because he saw Manhoef coming in for the kill.
Manhoef had his arms down and paid for it. No excuses. Lawler was the better man that night.

Too one dimensional, plus there is the chance he could derail any hype train the UFC are watching closely, as he has the power to take out anyone.

This is something an untrained Sherdogger with make believe eagle eye vision who has no idea of fighting techniques would say. Go train Boxing and then come back on here.

Rewatch the fight dude
Until Lawlers KO punch, Melvin was absolutely lighting Lawler up
It looked as though they didn't belong in the same cage
Then Melvin left his guard down and Lawler swung a home run

I'd love to see him in the UFC. I don't care about his record. He is exciting to watch...in the first round at least :-)

Manhoef made a mistake and Lawler capitalized because he had the skillset to do so. If Lawler did not have the skill set with his MMA Boxing then he would not had gotten that KO.
That other moron talking about how Lawler threw a lucky magical punch while having his eyes close is beyond retarded.
