    In fairness to RING, it initially started out as a magazine that covered boxing and wrestling, so framed within that context, putting Rousey on the cover was perhaps their way of "returning to their roots". That said, Holm would certainly have been a much better choice to feature as someone who could "save boxing". :lol

    While Holm certainly utilized a variety of skills to defeat Rousey, I think her lateral movement and left hand counter (two staples of her boxing style) provided the foundation upon which the remainder of her attack could be built. I've always wanted to see how a world class boxer with good lateral movement would fare in MMA...I now have my answer.

    Well, yeah he's untested because he's been that much superior to all his opponents thus far.

    Beautiful straight lefts by Holm, nice lateral movement, she made Ronda look like a fool.
    This is what a proper athlete looks like, before that Ronda only faced playboy girls and UFC wannabes.

    "I don't think Rousey has been hit hard enough to throw her off her game," Holly Holm

    Holly made Ronda look C-grade.

    guess she can go to gennady for a shoulder to cry on

    feel sorry for her in a way. she was just a pawn, embarrassingly overhyped and shoved down our throats, but it wasnt her doing

    Holly kept Ronda off balance and made her pay for every mistake. Ronda needs to get a real boxing coach on her team cause her hands were down all night and she kept standing straight up. I also have to give credit to Holly's kickboxing game, since those kicks to the thigh took a lot of steam out of Ronda.

    Holm vs Rousey was pretty much the UFC's Pacquiao vs JMM 4.
