One jab from Floyd and it's lights out. It's that simple...........
He's bigger, stronger, faster, knocks out professional men, and can literally dance around her for 12 rounds. He has enough tech and power to hurt her off his back foot, sting her from angles as she's off balance and huffing from chasing him, and while he's peppering her, she's not seeing to clinch accurately. It would look foolish. If they fought in an elevator, Floyd dies. Anywhere else, Floyd makes her look stupid and sets both the sports back 50 years. I love Ronda and hate Floyd, but stop being so goddfuckingdamn delusional. An athletic world champion man known for elusiveness and precision is not an average dude.
This needs banning. Floyd can outrun and jab Ronda for 12 rounds and she'd never touch him. He clinches as a strategic move. You know neither boxing nor grappling. Go away forever.
*EDIT* Actually, stick around and make moar thredsz.

Seriously dude? Dance around her? Against a grappler? Watch Ali vs Inoki, one Muhammed Ali one of the best outside fighters of all time. A world champion. A legend. The other Antonio Inoki a Catch-as-catch-can wrestler underground NHB fighter, not olympic caliber. Even with all the restrictions Ali's camp made for Inoki, (no kicking standing, no grappling) Inoki managed to take Ali down with ease.
Stick and move doesn't work against a grappler. Hell didn't you even watch the archaic Gracie challenge fights?
If he was smart he'd move away. Is he that smart? You think his ego would let him move away from a smaller woman?
Floyd only clinches to avoid getting hit
avoid getting hit
avoid getting hit
avoid getting hit
avoid getting hit
This is true, but there's no evidence he can avoid the clinch either.
I'm sure any striking analyst could pull a hundred gifs of Floyd matadoring boxers walking into him.
Floyd's opponents are trying to clinch with him?
Stop now, before you start posting more things you can't un-post.
You just claimed his opponents are trying to walk into him.
I'd say you should put some more thought into your posts.
Yes of course all fights start standing but 90% of the time when a grappler gets a hold of a pure striker, it's all done for the striker, even more for a boxer that only has a puncher's chance (a very slightly puncher's chance btw) and cannot kick or knee when the takedown is attempted for a double or single leg, and even MORE for a boxer of the type of Floyd who likes to clinch when things get ugly, and even MORE when you face a grappler that is a judoka or greco-roman wrestler that speciallize on hip throws that you only need to grab the arms for execute their techniques.
Stylistically this fight is perfect for Ronda and a nightmare for Floyd. Ronda won't stand still in front of Floyd like Tim Sylvia did against Mercer because judokas always look for a grip ASAP. Floyd is serving himself to her for his love of hugging, the perfect position for a judoka to work, arms grabbed, hip throw, position, submission.
