Davis is hardly a more questionable win at BW than former atomweight (as you mentioned) Penne who has proven extremely vulnerable to striking including being outstruck by Esparza. Kaufman was 15-1 when she fought Ronda with wins over Tate, Davis, and Carmouche, she was more proven than KK or Penne at SW.Yes. I think so I think her openers for the most part have been better. Ronda beat some questionable opponents (carmouche, Kaufman, bethe, davis)
Where as jj has beaten gadelha 2x, former atomweight champ penne, and kk is a damn good fighter as well
She's fighting at 115 lbs. Where are all the one punch ko artists at 115?Joanna has excellent striking but lacks KO power.
To defeat Ronda, you need KO power.
Joanna has excellent striking but lacks KO power.
She's already injured her hand in a fight before due to all her punches.
So Ronda would eventually get in and win.
Exactly. If she never head kicked Rousey,the fight woulda just kept repeating itself.You don't think Holly was on track to winning a decision?
I think she's more consistent while Ronda's highlight reel is better. Kind of like GSP compared to Anderson. GSP is more reliable but Anderson can win more spectacularly, so it depends on what you prefer the fighter with the best "highs" or the most consistent one with no major weakness.Yes i think so. She may not steamroll everyone like Rousey has,but she is a dominant fighter who can deal with any situation.
Yeah,the thing about this thread is that it says 2012 - 2105 rousey,but she always had the issues she did coming into those two back to back losses,they just werent exploited yet. Joanna on the other hand,perseveres despite whatever flaws she has. I love them both,so i dont really care...but its an interesting discussion.I think she's more consistent while Ronda's highlight reel is better. Kind of like GSP compared to Anderson. GSP is more reliable but Anderson can win more spectacularly.
Cmon son.Miesha Tate is more skilled than Ronda
Joanna is more well rounded defensively, Ronda more rounded offensively as noted above.Joanna is probably more well rounded, certainly the superior striker.
I rank them about the same.
