Re: Boxing/MMA

Never been proven to be a roid head, she's a beast though, former boxer and kickboxer and not just some bum either, one of the best P4P boxers in the world.

Rousey got as exposed as you could be in a fight, nothing resembling a defence or a guard and absolutely no plan B when your gameplan fails to work and thus she was truly annihilated by Holly Holm, it was brutal. She started believing her own hype and got overly aggressive and was quickly counter punched into oblivion.

Holm on the other hand is a former World Champion boxer so naturally her ground game is going to be pretty shabby, something Tate jumped on.

Tate can be got at easily standing up but doesn't have better ground skills than Rousey.

Thus you have a triangle. Holm > Rousey > Tate > Holm.

Then you have maybe's, I think Holm beats Tate stood up, she beat Rousey the same way. I think they both beat her on the ground as we've already seen Tate do. Tate gets matched on the ground and beaten stood up against Rousey as already seen.

It's not a bad position to be in but the division is new and naturally it's massively unserstocked with Talent, it's just people believed Rousey was far better than she actually was. It was bound to happen.

McGregor completely threw away his fight with Diaz too, so much talk and hype for him to start obliterating Diaz then for no apparent reason drop his guard and literally asks Diaz to punch him, only to end up on his back and quickly subdued in a submission win for Diaz. Massive screams of Amir Khan way back, another fighter full of hype that dropped his gameplan and got humbled. (See Danny Garcia fight)
