    MMA fanboys are now tying to claim Holm is some sort of MMA beast to save face. She was destroying Rousey with simple lateral movement and basic 1,2's from the very begining. Boxing 101 and Rousey was clueless, defenceless and hopeless. Holm is also feather fisted yet was hurting Rousey and busting her face up with every punch.

    And Rousey was supposed to be capable of destroying Mayweather?:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    If Holms was an MT or a Kickboxing girl without any boxing background, they'd be now praising how awesome MT/KB are but she comes from a sport they for some unknown reason chose to depsise (jealously most likely, because MMA will never be as great as boxing) so no credit to boxing shall be given.

    If Rousey would have won you guys would have only discredited Holly as a nobody anyways...

    If Rousey beat Holms in a boxing ring, that **** would be pretty impressive.

    Roger would lean over Ronda and say,
    'Hey young lady, you just got knocked the **** out.'

    Are you saying that you would be able to understand what Roger was saying?

    Probably. At the same time Holm is probably get to much credit (this is Tyson-Douglas).

    Absurd post Cafe. Nearly all MMA fans like boxing as well. It's well known that boxing is one of the best striking bases from which to build a complete MMA skillset off of. There's no problem in giving boxing the proper dues.

    What people are annoyed with is the portrayal of this being a win for pure "boxing" over MMA which is not the truth at all. Holm is an MMA fighter using an MMA skillset to win.

    What's the point of promoting blatant lies? I don't see the point.

    Yep she used boxing to achieve her goals, she also used wrestling to defend judo take downs and obviously kicks so it was a complete MMA game.

    I do understand some getting on here singing boxing's praises because Ronda has had no idea the difference between her striking and a boxers ability.

    She got shown the gap is bigger than she thought...

    No reasonable person thought Rousey would actually be able to beat Floyd. Most people, including people on this site who are familiar with either boxing, MMA, or even strength training in general, realized that a man with Mayweather's athletic caliber and punching prowess would be far too difficult for Rousey to overcome.
