Holly Holm needs to stop making sounds when she's attacking.

[Scyther]

This is just amateur nonsense. Whatever that chicks name Holly was fighting would literally just sit down on her punches and wait to throw bombs every time Holly would make a sound.

It's the equivalent of shouting "HERE I COME!!!!" at the top of your lungs before you attack.

She also should stop throwing a same combination over and OVER again.

She really is a horrible boxer and she had no reason to fear a take down in this fight and got out boxed. Her garbage boxing has been exposed multiple times now.

"She's the Monica Seles of WMMA"

I shout "HERE I COME!!!" every time I open the Sherdog forums

It's terrible though and telegraphs her same predictable combination

 

[LiLoMMA]

She used the sounds along with fakes, and it seemed like a strategy that wasn't working. Randamie just got ready to counter each time, and if it was a feint, Holly was forced to reset instead of having any advantage

It was pretty annoying, I much prefer watching Sharapova make her noises.

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

It was weird that she made the noise before her punches. I can understand making the noises on your exhale, but it seemed like she was making them on her inhale.

but..but...joe rogan said she has world class striking??

Love her. She's also a complete bitch from what I've seen of her doing interviews, which makes me love her even more.

More than anything, she should get back on the cycle she was on for the Ronda fight. Her bodyfat increased a shitload since that fight

It's like she was fighting at a new heavier weight? Shit was crazy bro.

 

[Clippy]

I was hoping Holly was really just that good when beating Ronda ... but really Ronda wasn't that good and made Holly look better

 

[TheVenom]

Her combos are a real problem. She hasn't shown any growth in her overall stand up.

 

[gunlok]

Why you try to silence her

I do think part of Hollys problem is mental. She has a very hard time to commit to an attack and instantly backs up after every punch. A little bit like Wladimir Klitschko who detrimented to the same one or two punch combo over and over because of his fear to get hit. She once had a more diverse arsenal.

Other part of the problem is Jackson-Wink. If they think they have THE formula for an athlete to "fight" he has to abandon all his other skills and perfect only that one sided (mostly boring) approach. If it does not work the fighter is fucked.

Also fatter against Shevchenko and Tate.

She makes those noises because the Earth is flat

 

[Hulkster79]

She looks really awkward for an ahtlete. Kinda like Bethe

 

[Mcgregorian]

She should retire after this one. Don't get me wrong i really like her but surely she's done now

yup, that's true
problem is she used the sound way before she landed something. GDR is not a world class striker like Rogan is trying to convince us but she is not that idiot to fall on Holly's strategy

 

[RozHammil]

Holly impresses me with her work ethic, cardio and toughness, but other than that she seems real predictable with her striking and ya I think Cormier was spot on saying she's got a "tell".
