That's basically what she said here when they asked her what she thinks about Aldana's KO power

"I think more than her power she only can knock ppl out if she connects in the right spot, different to me that when I touch you I'm going to knock you out"

"With me it doesn't matter right spot or not, you are gonna go down when I connect doesn't matter where, she needs a perfect spot"

I mean, Amanda throws more winging punches, so you'd hope they're more powerful.

Amanda has a very low finishing rate over soccer moms and wmma fighters. She’s pretty delusional about her power
I got bad news. The WBW division has never not been soccer moms, even today. If Amanda's power isn't impressive because of the people she punched, Aldana's isn't either.
 
I mean, what is she going to say, "Yeah, she can KO me any time she feels like it, but I know how to punch, too?"

No, she is going to downplay her opponent as much as possible in the media, no matter what she may or may not actually believe.
 
I can't believe people here are actually trying to downplay Nunes' ko power, she is one of the hardest-hitting females in all of mma, who else stopped Cyborg in the first round? And Cyborg has shown a great chin when she was head-kicked multiple times against Jorina Baars in a kickboxing bout. When Nunes hit Miesha you could tell she wanted out, which was very uncharacteristic for Tate.

Even if she's right & it's sniper vs wrecking machine in the stand-up all things being equal if both those two styles fight a perfect fight my money's on the sniper to win > 50% of the time

I think Amanda is absolutely right. Her KTFO of Cyborg pretty much puts a stamp on her being about the hardest hitter around WMMA.

It also doesn't matter.

If Aldana cracks Amanda a few times she will melt.

I think this all boils down to the kind of camp Nunes had, and her departure from MTB's coaching is not a plus,,, and the intangible stuff like Aldana getting a few good strikes in early.
 
Any woman who can KO Cyborg, I believe! I predict Nunes will attack Aldana, fight her at her strength, go toe to toe, and win by KO..... Just like the Cyborg fight. If Amanda loses doing that though, I believe she will retire. My favorite woman fighter ever, and one of the sports greatest champions ever!:rolleyes:
