You say that like the weight was a factor.
Seen the fight? It's really not as impressive as people are going on about. Definitely isn't worthy of saying this guy would destroy Anderson (referring to a thread in the contenders)
Here's a play by play of the fight:
Hunt RUSHES in and while backing up/falling backwards toward the ropes, Melvin throws a left and a right, left doesn't do anything but as soon as the right hits, Hunt collapes.
It wasn't a evans/liddell situation.
More like Kimbo/Seth, in regards to the punch didn't even look like a ko punch but Hunt just collapsed anyway.
I file this fight in the same category as Alexander/Irvin. It's just a quick ko that seems more like an accident, even Melvin looked surprised Hunt went down from that.
But judging from these forums (I'm guessing a lot of people havn't seen the fight) you'd think this was a Anderson/Leben situation in which Melvin just rocked and walked through Hunt.
that's just not how it happened.
