If Holly had taken a fight with Cyborg and lost, it would have proven absolutely nothing about her place in the division. Everyone would have expected her to lose and she would have earned some points for having the guts to take the fight. If for any reason she WON the fight, she could probably have run for President on third party ticket and gotten elected this November(she would be over 35 by election day).
In comparison, the Shevchenko fight was actually more risky. She lost enormous status by losing the fight and if she had won it, the reaction would have been - "ho hum".
Sometimes taking the easier fight is really the riskier thing to do.
When I tried cases, I hated situations in which everyone was confident we were going to win. I preferred to be the underdog so that if I lost I could blame it on the facts, the law, the judge or something else and if I won I looked like Albert Einstein.
