Every time I watch her I feel like she consistently comes in trying to point fight. From way out side she throws the same combos(and yelling) over and over and they all seem very under committed.

I've never watched her boxing matches - I'm assuming in boxing she was able to stand in the pocket more and thus land such combinations??
 
She's a Muay Thai fighters wet dream. She get's countered all day, making her face go granny.
 
That yelling sh!t is annoying. I wonder if opponents are able to time her better cause of that..?
 
She has 1 combo and its fucking shit. She was able to butcher Rousey who has the striking level of a yellow belt in TKD but anyone with any power is able to walk through Holly and chase her down
 
Shes a spammer no doubt

For being a top level striker she should spam a technique, then switch to another once opponent anticipates it

Holly did not change, Cyborg adjusted and started countering

Here was Holly ALL last night.............circle left, circle left, circle left, move right slipping the jab and throwing her straighgt left. Cyborg ate the first one and got bloody, Holly did not change it up.
 
It looked like how my scared opponents fight in Ufc undisputed 3. Scared and spamming the same attack while making noise (sending me hateful messages via game inbox). ISH ISH ISH.
 
She always looks like she's practicing a combo on a heavy bag. She never seems to adjust her timing, speed, distance or angles for her opponent. Just the same moving forward combo every time, if her opponent is in the way of her fist then she connects but if her opponent moves at all Holly just throws the combo the exact same.
 
The most frustrating thing about her last night was her clinch stalling. Clinching was obviously a big part of her game plan and I think Cyborg was caught off guard by how strong Holly was in the clinch, but she never did anything with it. It was 100% a stalling tactic. She never actually tried to take advantage of the clinch position to try to land strikes from the clinch or initiate a takedown. She'd get double underhooks and then just lay on Cyborg against the cage. It honestly seemed like her game plan was to win the fight by stalling. Win by avoiding a fight. Classic wall 'n stall.

This - exactly. Throws the combos to an area and hopes the opponent will be there.

EXACT same thing with me. i hate cyborg, but midway through i was like,'ok cyborg, just knock this bitch out'.
 
Let’s bot forget, fellas, that holly is a boxer.

Boxing gloves are thicker than ufc gloves, so when she throws a punch with boxing gloves on, there are 2 inches that aren’t there with ufc gloves.

She kept coming up 2 inches short (something I know a lot about), but had she wore boxing gloves, she’s connecting.
 
She's very unintelligent striker and very limited. her team prob had that one combo for her to last the whole fight.. she had nothing else but that straight left. She goes charging in zero headmovement straight in all cyborg had to do was throw bombs everytime she came in and shed land. Was a very easy target. I think she was trying to charge in before cyborg could throw but they would just end up colliding..

She needed to use headmovement to beat cyborg. She made herself an easy target. She also needed to mix it up alot more. She became predictable the moment the second round started. If she threw more hooks, uppercut and body shots she could have won this.. she also needed to feint more.. all she had was that weird hand shake movement and lazy jabs.. she needed cyborg to believe that a punch could come from any angle to land on any target any spot. You cannot headhunt cyborg.

She makes the same noise when she fakes strikes too, so it seems that it is, at least in part, meant to do the exact opposite and confuse her opponents
 
She's the definition of point-fighter who had 1 uncharacteristically awesome fight against Ronda (mostly because Ronda sucks shit). She'll still (rightly) get credit for that forever and ever, but that fight is a huge outlier.
