Rousey v Holm

[mudwhistle]

Ronda Rousey got knocked the fuck out tonight by Holly Holm. First loss! It's like seeing Tyson get knocked out by James Buster Douglas.

someone tweeted on Fred Roggins radio sports show that Ronda Rousey losing this fight reminded him of Rocky 3 where Rocky got so much focused on Fame that he lost to Clubber Lang in his first fight with him.

Rocky 3 is such an accurate film in the way it is in real life the way a fighter stops getting hungry and loses their edge.

Tyson got so much focused on fame that he stopped training hard and was out of shape when he faced Douglass and as a result,got knocked out.

Then what was funny bout it was same thing happened to Douglass.He got so wrapped up in beating Tyson thinking he was so great that he got fat and out of shape and in his next fight against Ivander Holifield,he got knocked out as well.

same thing happened to Rousy.She was very much out of shape in that fight and thats because she lost her edge because she was focused on fame and not hungry anymore.

A lot of things went into it. She was also fighting a bigger fighter who was faster and can punch and kick the tar out of you. I think movies and TV appearances took away some of her edge.

I still think it's strange that a 34 year old woman beat a younger woman. I think there's something suspicious about her training regime. As many fights as she's had, she should be all beat up.

I saw a match she lost to some tall girl from the Nederlands. She lost on one point in the gold period....sudden death. Up to then it was a scoreless tie....so I can see her frustration. I just think their scoring system is too subjective and open to interpretation.

I agree that pretty much ALL "Judged" aports are far too open to interpretation. Including Boxing and MMA. In the fight sports it should be "On" until someone submits or is knocked out. No rounds. No points. "Kill" or be "Killed".

Look at the hardguy...

Apparently you believe in hand-picked fights. Boxer's like Floyd Mayweather, who fight once in a blue moon and and usually after another fighter has passed his prime.

Not quite. I belueve a Champion should be required to defend at least twice a year. The organization would pick the #1 contender and the Champ can choose to fight them or surrendee their title without a fight. In such a case, Ronda would hsve been smart to surrender her title once she realized she had no chsnce.

I figure the big rush will be to get a rematch with Holly Holm before somebody takes the title from her.

It's not going to happen. I don't belueve you'll see Ronda in the Octagon again against anyone. I certainly won't pay to watch her fight again.

Oh...so.she should just throw in the towel if she starts getting a few licks upside her head?

What are you.....retarded?

Somebody must have driven your head into the mat one too many times.

You really think that big mouth has ever been on a mat?

I'd like to throw him in the ring with Holly and Ronda and watch them kick his sorry arse. Now THAT would be fun.

You could probably do it yourself.

No. If she can't block the kicks she shouldn't get into the ring with her to begin with. Heroes who rush into things generally die/lose. Sun Zhu reminds us that the warrior who can force the battle onto their terns most often wins. If you cannot force the battle onto your terms it is,best to avoid it or to fall on your own sword honorably rather than being defeated in battle.

That kick was delivered as she was getting up from the floor after she fell down from swinging a wild punch. MMA doesn't have a standing 8 count. Her back was turned.

I can tell you know nothing about streetfighting.....and that is practically what MMA is.

I wouldn't say MMA is practically street fighting. Closer than something like boxing, sure, but still a far different animal.

Rocky 3 is such an accurate film

That's not a line you're likely to see very often.

Actually, Rousey has been in a couple of movies and there have been plenty of advertisements with her, news stories, photo shoots for magazines, etc.. There are plenty of ways people would have known who she is before the fight.

 

[Billo_Really]

You know, Rhonda could come back and rip Holly's head off in the rematch?

There have been many great boxers in history that had that one fight that got away from them.

Mike Tyson - Buster Douglas

Ali - Frazier 1

Duran - Leonard 1

Joe Louis - Max Schmeling​

In every case, except Tyson, the big-name fighter came back to win the rematch.
