Holly's boxing set that knockout up. I knew Holm had a shot but it would have to be a KO or stoppage but I thought Rousey would find a way to get Holly to the ground. Great performance by Holly. She's officially the best world champion in 2 combat sports. She represents boxing extremely well.
:rofl You've got as good a shot at outflaming a teenage girl on Twitter as Rousey did of schooling prime Pep. Hit the sack chief, you've earned it :good
Dana is now pulling an Emanuel Steward - "the fight went down like how I thought it would go down". :rofl
This. Holly showed just how important footwork is. She made staying out of Ronda's range look easy. Although Rhonda made it easier by chasing Holly like a wild bull.
I watched the fight live. WOW. I thought Rousey was a LOT of hype. I thought she was limited besides her Judo and was really curious to see how she'd cope with a slippery fighter with boxing experience, let alone a previous champion in the sport. Well, guess my questions were answered. Rousey was dominated. It looked like she went in the first minute to show she could outbox a world class boxer. And uhm... it was clear from the get-go that Rousey can't box. She had zero head movement, kept her hands low, chasing, and kept rushing into Holms in straight lines. I mean, come on? She basically handed herself to Holms like dinner on a silver platter. That's a feast for a boxer. Ronda can't box, so from the start her only hope was forcing a submission. After the first grapple failed, it was over. Rousey started getting busted up, exhausted, frustrated, which only caused her to rush to Holm even more.... and in full circle caused her to get painted with more punches and kicks even worse. Holm appeared a lot physically stronger than Ronda as well. Holm made "the best fighter of possibly all time" look almost C grade... My favorite part was when Holm flipped the script and threw Ronda on the ground. There's a difference to being an ATG and receiving hype and just being hype. Dana White is probably crying. Who can he ride the sport off of now?
