Rousey vs Holm

[Bikemad]

rhonda wasn't lookin so tough after 1 and a bit rounds



and well done to the other Kiwi fighters........Rob Whittaker and Mark Hunt

[PrincessBandit]

Will learn her, being so lippy 'n all pre match.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Like most I was stunned. Bravo Holm.

They are incredible athletes both of them

[TheDemonLord]

I am dead keen to see what happens at Rousey vs Holm 2

I suspect Rousey is going to work hard on her Hands/Feet and change her gameplan to take a striking fight to Holm.

Respect to Holm as well - was a brilliant kick and dethroning the Rousey is no mean feat.

Still love Rhonda though.

[Berries]

I'd tap it.

I'd tap it.

pfffft.......you'd tap out more like.........

I still can't work out why the birds who show the boards with the round number on them were getting in to it.

special friends perhaps....grrr

A classic case of underestimating the opposition. R R won't do that again.

[Reckless]

Holly looked fitter, faster and keener.
Beat her to the punch by such a margin that she was able to get off planted punches right from the floor.
Speed and power awesome to watch while avoiding any Judo and Rousey's signature arm move. The game plan was perfect.

Prob fired Holms up when she refused to touch gloves at the beginning to.

Think she'd be more likely to double tap you with that vicious jab bro - pow pow.

Yeah, I was a bit taken aback that this is entertainment but crikey, what athletes! Holm was scary. Ripped, fast, hard, smart and no doubt has stamina. That slow mo left hand into the kisser is raw.
UFC and the like are savage, it's brawling, but the top performers are amazing and give some credibility. IMHO. Just sayin.

did you not watch the fight? - Im a big rousey fan, but rousey got knocked the fuck out. not TKO, not stoppage, but she was fucking LIMP mate - because she was silly enough to think that her 4 years of hitting pads was going to be enough to outclass a striker with nearly 20 world titles in striking disciplines. silly silly bitch. I had RR pegged as far smarter than that.

even in round 2 she didnt look for the takedown.

The left hand before the kick put her out on her feet - brain was off but the limbs were on auto pilot and she stood and turned into a concussive brain trauma.

If she comes back, and tries to stand with holm, then not only will she get knocked the fuck out again, but she will deserve to get KO'd again.

Holly has knocked quite a few people unconscious with the same kick - she'll do it again to anyone that stands in front of her.

bring on the rematch

I missed the party where I said it was TKO or Stoppage?

I wasnt suggesting you did, I was replying to this:

.

my point was that that is exactly what rhonda DID try and do, and got fucked up. I was highlighting that she attempted that EXACT gameplan, and the result was a savage knockout loss.

Rhonda cannot stand with the likes of holm. she had a great KO vs Bethe, but she is simply not in the same league as holly when it comes to striking, and if she attempts such a foolhardy approach again, I suspect she will be retired by the result.
She needs to do what she should have done the first time if she wants o avenge her loss, - tip holly on her head, grab a limb, and tear it off.

brawling!? maaaate what fights are you watching!?!?
