    MMA isn't boxing my friend. The glove size in MMA is next to nothing. The smallest of glove size in boxing can be called pillows in comparison to what they use in MMA.

    As for Rousy, quit? No!
    Confused? Yes! Both Nunes and Holm are Superior boxers and much better at foot placement to angle for the shots.
    Rousy is a poor boxer and add to that her reflexes in standup combat are just poor.

    In the Octagon, I didn't see quit in her. Outside the Octagon, her psyche just took a major crash she just had trouble dealing with. Those are two different issues though. In the ring and out of the ring dealing with defeat are separate issues.

    I am no fan of Ronda but I don't get the china chin talk. If that was the case she would have crumpled at the first few shots. It looked to me more like not having an answer and getting pummelled, no one can continue taking that. I guess you could say she froze after getting hit but that not really chin related, she just mentally gone.

    That comment about not respecting fighters with bad chins is a bit ridiculous as well, I could name a few all timers that were vulnerable in this area

    They Tyson comparisons again are silly. He came back well after Douglas, if he was the same mould Ruddock would have taken him out, then you could call him a hype job. Tyson was legit.

    I've always said it, many average men off the streets, even those who don't train, could beat up Ronda Rousey or any one of these 135lb WMMA fighters. Never mind Floyd Mayweather or male UFC bantamwights. Can't believe the BS went as far and got taken as seriously as it did.

    Indeed, we live in a fabricated reality matrix. Rousey on the cover of RING Magazine! To think that some people seriously thought that she could beat Mayweather or even Tyson!!!!!!!! Talk about fake news!!! Conor is also a media-created hype when it comes to boxing.

    Tyson took 100-150-160 shots in his defeat, so the saying that no one can continue taking that is riddiculous. Rousey is just a lousy hype job with no heart, warrior spirit.

    Do you think Tyson would have been able to take a fraction of the shots he took in say his defeats to Douglas, Holyfield and Lewis if the gloves beihg worn were that of what MMA fighters wear?

    You see, you cant compare the ability to absorb a prolonged beating when you compare boxing to MMA. The glove size disparity is significant.

    Good point. MMA gloves are very thin compared to gloves. And rightly so, otherwise strikers in MMA wouldn't have a chance.

    are you joking? of course Tyson could take more punches, his neck probably weighed more than Rousey. Its a very stupid comparison, surprised to be honest. Talk about women continuing to take that punishment, not many would without going down. I am not defending Ronda, I am just saying she took a few flush shots, if her china was china she would have face planted after one punch. She has a china mentality though which appears to be her problem, as a fighter she is damaged goods that couldn't regroup after getting beat. don't just use the china chin talk every time some gets knocked out, there more to it?

    Ronda does not have a problem with her chin. I'm not saying it's granite but its also not china. Her problem is her horrible standup. Standing there with her jaw stuck out and eating bombs and power shot after power shots.

    There's not many chin that wouldn't shatter that night doing what Ronda did.

    Maybe he can take 60-70 MMA glove shots, that is still a lot compared to 3-4. It's not just the defeat, its about how you face up to the humiliation after defeat as well. This is where Rousey is just a pathetic hype job

    Brining the neck in has no real meaning, i have seen plenty of fighters with big neck sizes who collapsed with a few shots to the face. The moment she took 1-2 flush shots, the fight was over and there appeared no way back for her and that is the difference between her and Tyson, Holyfield e.t.c
