She kept her opponent on the end of her kicks and punches. Used fluid combos. Connected. And didnt get in any trouble. Won. Sounds like she outboxed them to me.Apart from the Ronda fight, she didn't look good in those first 3 ones either.

I don't know why so many people are surprised a Muay Thai specialist beat a traditional Kickboxer. You people don't know shit.
Holly Holm was supposed to be the best boxer in UFC, if you look at her boxing career.(She was world boxing champ)
However, she was getting outboxed and counterpunched on her face throughout 5 rounds, and had no answer for it.
Valentina Shevchenko is a Muay Thai fighter.
There weren't even many takedown threats to prevent Holly from using her boxing skill to the full.
If Valentina had a decisive personality with KO power, Holly would've been finished before round 2.
What do you make of this situation?
Valentina was a better fighter tonight. Holly is a great boxer. Watch her first 3 ufc fights. Look at her resume.
I even thought Holly won the fight, felt like it was tied going into the 5th, and I thought Holly did a little more to win it.
