Karo did not annihilate Matt Serra. Perhaps I should watch the fight again but I've seen it a lot and I'm pretty sure Matt Serra landed a bomb on Karo and sent him tumbling with it. Then he made that classic mistake we've seen before, like in his fight with Shonie, and maybe Lytle as well, where he gets excited and runs in with a flurry of very fast but mostly ineffective punches. He talked about how he patched up that flaw in his game against St.Pierre, how he took his time once he knew he was stunned. Serra stopped, collected himself, and continued to throw bombs. If he had of done that to Karo that could have been it. Not that Karo didn't come close to winning at times, too, but it was no annihilation.
The more I hear Parisyan talk, the less I like him. Which sucks because I love Judo and he's like the only Judo guy. I'm still a Karo fan and can't wait to bet on him against Burkman.
