Holy Holm knocks out Rousey

[RonSpringsdaman20]

Ughhhh... Another Annoying, boring fighter. Glad he lost Chavez. Run run run... It's not a bike race lol


It's actually blaspheme to put a true fighter, all out warrior like hagler in same sentence as Whitaker.

you're bugging... Sweet Pea was in some wars with great fighters...

I have no idea what you are talking about...

He didn't lose btw, it was a draw.

He did so much tap tap move that I thought he was a tap dancer. Lol

I didn't remember the draw. I remember he was scared to get hit though.

I think this fight showed why the UFC was being so difficult with the Cyborg fight.

Cyborg would've squashed her as well.

 

[Risen Star]

No doubt Ronda will try to keep it on the mat in the rematch. She has no business trying to exchange blows with Holly.

That fight would be just as lopsided on the ground. Rousey would absolutely destroy Holm in a grappling contest. You might as well bring a fan in to replace Holm.

That was about the most idiotic gameplan I've ever seen from a fighter. That was the only way an inferior talent like Holm could win that fight. She showed Holm no respect for her boxing ability and paid the price for it. Her instructions between rounds really shows how inept her trainer is.

One thing not being talked about is what a POS Holly Holm is for striking a clearly unconscious opponent until the ref pulls her off. I really hope that comes back to her later in her career and she is pummeled past the point of consciousness. Worse than the beating Anne Sophie Mathis put on her.

As for now, unless Holm is fighting Rousey nobody will give two bleeps about her. She'll be an awful draw as the champion. She has the charisma of a pile of rocks and while this fight was exciting, most of her fights are like getting your taxes done. Unless Ronda radically changes her approach and maybe even changing her trainer, she might not fare much better in the rematch. She's not a boxer. She'll never be a boxer. She isn't going to beat Holm boxing. If she turns it into an MMA fight, she'll wipe the mat with Holm. I'd say there are probably a dozen fighters in that division who could beat Holm if they can turn it into a grappling contest.

because every fighter does this?

 

[Risen Star]

No they don't. I've seen countless fights where they pull back. Literally too many to count.

That's my scumbag litmus test and Holly failed. I hope she gets her head taken off before she retires.

 

[tyke1doe]

Screw that.

We always knew she had holes in her game but she is a big fish in a small pond.

That's why we wanted to see her get in the ring with Cyborg.

I can't stand Rouseys personality and I'm so glad Holmes KO'd her.

She fought a girl tonight who is physically superior to her and is world class at a skill (boxing) just like Rousey is in judo.



So glad that D bag finally lost.

I was saying the same thing when I heard all this "once-in-a-lifetime" crap.
Rousey is a great talent in a competition still in its infancy. There aren't a lot of women in this game.
Let the UFC women's game get a few more years under its belt, and you'll see more women with better skills, and you'll be less likely to see a fighter dominate like Rousey.
Anyway, Holm proved she's not as dominant as many thought she was. She beat her like a two-legged stepchild. And this after Rousey disrespected her.

I've seen plenty where the opponent drops down and delivers a strike until the ref slides in to stop the fight.

I've always been taken aback by the strikes to an unconscious fighter, but it's certainly not out of the norm.

I'm always surprised the refs don't intervene sooner.

Herb was a little late but Holly wasn't taking liberties .

 

[Stryker44]

Why didn't Ronda take it to the ground and fight from there?

 

[Rockport]

No doubt Ronda will try to keep it on the mat in the rematch. She has no business trying to exchange blows with Holly.

She has to get it to the mat first.

 

[Rockport]

as a female I think it's kinda cool that there are girls out there that can kick *** like they do.

on the other hand I'm foo foo girly & I can't imagine why they want to fight like that. I guess it's big money maybe?

Good question. Cauliflower ears don't play well on females.

 

[Rockport]

I do understand that and respect those sports. That's exactly why mma is the best human combat sport. It takes all of those things to succeed instead of one!

Most MMA fights end up on the ground and are very boring. That's my complaint.

 

[Rockport]

iirc, Holm started at +1100 and dropped to around +650 just before the start of the fight. There was a lot of late money coming in on Holm. When you see lines move that much, you gotta figure something is up.

Like what?
