Schevcheko's lack of head movement

[Shoden]

Her sister has the same problem, they just don't move their head and seem to stand to upright/stiff, is weird.......Sadly WMMA can't exploit this obvious weakness.


They need edmond to train them.

…and sadly her striking is the best part of her game

The yellow card is totally justified with threads like this.

How was she a multiple time kickboxing champ? Her striking looks really mediocre.

The other one was also a multiple time kickboxing champ

 

[Huligani]

Every WMMA fighter is the same way but so are most kickboxers in general.

Because pure striking arts don't translate 1 to 1 into mma

Head movement is more of a thing in boxing than in Muay Thai.

 

[SteveColdStone]

WMMA fighters usually have bad defense. The lack of women with serious power probably contributes towards this.

Precisely. Shevchenko's predominant and default art is MT modified for mma so she does not rely as much on head movement. That being said she can slip punches very competently she has shown in the past.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Edmond Tarverdyan respects the head mooment of Antonina Shevchenko

 

[TheBulge]

Rose moves her head well.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Rose moves her head well.

Rose has had to face killers like Joanna, Zhang, and Andrade
