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

[MMAAAM]

I've been hearing it at the gym since I was 6?

I guess that´s why no one in your gym got signed to the ufc.

 

[A.S. Deep]

If I didn't hear she was a boxing world champ I wouldn't think she's a boxer. Her boxing doesn't look as good as it should for a world champ.

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

Yeah. Hate to insinuate things but it was so strange that she suddenly had good power in the Rousey fight when she has pretty much lacked any power whatsoever in every MMA fight before and after. The combo of her having more power and Rousey recklessly running into it made that fight turn out how it did.

Ronda charged in a straight line with her chin in the air. She's by far Holm's opponent who got hit the cleanest and repeatedly and still ate many punches before going down. Holly's power has nothing do with Ronda's loss. She's always been known as a volume puncher even in boxing.

 

[Sherm]

She looks really awkward for an ahtlete. Kinda like Bethe

Yeah there's something weird about the way she moves her feet, like she has a fucked up knee or something. Makes me cheer against her.

 

[Farbeyondthesun]

Lots of fighters male or female do it as a habit... I remember Francois Botha used to do the same back in the day.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Holm is a better air puncher than Leonard Garcia.

 

[Farbeyondthesun]

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.

It's a habit Mr. Armchair expert, lots of fighters past or present do it. Why are you so nit picky? Doesn't matter as long as they perform.

 

[Liquid Smoke]

Is normal.

 

[guard_passer]

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

she went up a weightclass

 

[ABSthetics]

Yep. Now everyone hates Holly Holm. Lol. That's Sherdog for ya.

To my knowledge she was never that popular. She just became a meme with the Ronda headkick.

Plenty of people here have been calling her a boring pointfighter with overrated boxing with nothing but decision wins for a while now.

On topic, I love the kiya. Shes like an irl anime battle and its even funnier when she stops mid exhale because she got decked in the face. Its good entertainment.

 

[Andersons Foot]

Yeah i don't get it. I like Holly but that's annoying.

 

[Kwic]

If I didn't hear she was a boxing world champ I wouldn't think she's a boxer. Her boxing doesn't look as good as it should for a world champ.

There are some vids on the youtube, you can check them out, pretty interesting actually to look back on them.
What's funny is, she basically uses the same combination over and over again, in boxing and in MMA, running forward.

 

[DanaWhitesButler]

If Holly only had a few Sherdoggers in her corner instead of Jackson and Winklejohn she would be the 145 lb champ for sure

 

[UWanaPlayDaGame]

is it posible that profesional trained fighters exhale when they throw strikes in order to mantain their breath and not get hit while breathing in?

it looks like Holly Holm was doing this and then incorporating it into feints? like she trained in some top level MMA gym with trainers that are known to craft gameplans and strategies?

 

[Alphaboy]

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.

That's what she did the entire fight.

I refuse to believe that a World Championship Boxer wouldn't understand a concept like telegraphing her punches so I'm a bit confused.

 

[Drake]

Too late for that now. You know it's just natural for her. It is predictable though.

 

[fatlipjesus]

I agree... but only because it keeps waking me up when she does that.

 

[Shabutie]

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

Joe spends most of his time hitting bags, don't think he's ever had an actual MMA fight so he must know what he's talking about right?

 

[Timurd123]

Its a bad habit

Its not impossible for her to quit that shit, IDK why she doesnt buckle down and get rid of it, she has enough focus for it

 

[teamfox223]

When you been making that sound for 10 + years in fighting is a bit hard to change. Is about what works for you and what you are conformable with. She also use that sound to fake a few time. But Holly's over all striking performance wasn't good, She didn't jab much didn't establish range which is why she keep failing short.
