Lol. You just never quit do you? I guess I can at least admire that even if you are not gaining any traction with your argument.
I realize that these women are not super well rounded. I never said they were. I said that Holly, thanks to her coaches, learned how to stop Ronda dead in her tracks and make her do what she sucked at. The fact that Ronda has a few ko's on her record clearly shows the state of most of the division when she was dominating.
If a sloppy puncher with no footwork who keeps their head dead center can knock out opponents then what does that say about the opposition. I gave credit where it was due in her scrambles and ability to find submissions.
You point to her knockouts of others as an indication of something, I am guessing that she is not a shit striker and then proceed to say that she is just a judo player and outboxing her is no great feat. Wtf man, decide which direction you want to go with this and focus. You can't have it both ways.
Jackson/Wink showed the world that once you implement a few simple techniques and nullify Ronda's clinch that she is very beatable. The expectation was never that Holly would ever be able to out judo Ronda, that's just silly. Just as silly as Edmond convincing Ronda that she was a world class striker.
She simply needed to learn enough to not get involved in Ronda's game. I find it funny that your line of defence is to shit talk about the girls who nuked Ronda's ass into retirement and yet praise Ronda. By diminishing the people who dominated her you actually diminish her by doing so.
Getting better by continually losing? So Nunes has exactly 4 losses, Ronda has 2 losses, Holly has 4 losses, 3 that I would argue against women who would also beat Ronda right now. That is not a dramatic difference and these women are getting better and still competing. Where is Ronda at right now?
And I have to ask what you meant by she exposed Ronda's flaws but did not capitalize off them? Should her head have come clean off in order to properly convince you?
You seem to think that calling Holly, Buster Douglas is a thing. In reality, Mike Tyson would have killed Douglas 99% of the time, it really was flukey. Ronda probably would not beat Holly even more than 40% of the time and that is being massively generous. The comparison is not accurate at all.
Who cares anyway. Ronda is gonzo and in the future when the hype machine is no longer there, the analysts will be fair but accurate and it will be much like I have said, mark my words.
