JACK SLACK: IS HOLLY HOLM THE WOMAN TO BEAT RONDA ROUSEY?

This is how she beats Ronda:

I love these threads. I have no problem with guys who picked Ronda, but it seemed most were pretty fucking sure she would win and were douches about it.

 

I'd say not a chance, but I admit, that I will lol if Holly catches Ronda as she bull rushes in for the clinch.

 

like the emphasis on "any"

 

"Visualize how you are going to win"

"A congenital heart defect has apparently felled Rousey moments before she could step into the cage."

 

Good bump, always interesting to see the same users popping up.

 

Not bloody likely. But possible I suppose. If she can last a few rounds with her footwork and test her gas tank I can possibly see her winning by Headkick.

 

I'd love to watch this "pure striking match" you speak of.

 

I got this strange error when I tried to post.

Haha.

 

lol

 

No, she's not. The ease that Pennington had landing hard strikes and clinching up is a big tell. Holly is 33, fighting for a long ass time. She's peaked and not going to improve.

I would not be surprised at all if Ronda knocks her out. Ronda's power, aggression, pressure, and force of will are unmatched.

 

It was a great article.

 

Good read!

 

Some fine sherbro's analysis itt

 

Rousey via what she did to bethe

 

The best part of the article is actually in the comments section below. Jonathan Swift breaks down the fight and calls it before it happens. Pretty impressive stuff.

 

I can see Holly keeping her distance and countering. She is not going to hurt Rousey that way but we never now how Ronda performs when she cannot control the fight plan. We have seen Cain completely crumble to Werdum mostly because of that.

It would be funny if Ronda got wreckless and ran into a headkick. Holly might not be a female version of prime CroCop but she showed that she control the fight and get one-sided decisions without much risk.

 

This is the best part of Sherdog.

Wannabe fight fans eating crow.

 

And Nunes will be the one to beat Holm.

 

Lol at Sherdog experts talking shit about Jack Slack.

Love these threads.

 

I don't see holm having the mental game to come close to beating rousey, she is going to be like a deer in the headlights.
She doesn't believe she can beat rounds and this will be her downfall

 

haha shertards .. so confident lol

 

A Jack Slack article about WMMA. In other words: Pure Shit.

Will not read.

Edit: By that I mean he's as knowledgeable about WMMA as Team Alpha Male members are about changing light bulbs.

 

my man

 

No. She doesn't have the ko power to catch her.

 

I find it hilarious how none of the experts posting in this thread prior to this fight are anywhere to be found now.

 

BAwhhaha... This guy had to insert "better".

 

Lol, gotta love sherdog.

 

I usually enjoy his articles on striking, but this one is shit. Not once did he mention her tendency to throw punches at air which we saw all throughout her last bout. Nothing but praise for her punching without mentioning the obvious weaknesses and how her kicks are telegraphed. I don't think this guy actually watched her mma bouts all the way through.

 

here is another good one from June 8th with even more over confident idiots

and would you look at that at page 12.. TheViking says:

"i could see Honda having a hard time getting close. Holly looks big and strong, plus fast, great footwork and fight IQ."

 

Holm isn't even good. As someone who was hyped to see her in the UFC, she is not good. Her striking game consists of , throw 8 strikes in a straight line , don't back out until done with combo, scream on every strike in the process. May I add, do not add any power to strikes?

 

Did you just try to put yourself over?

 

I hope she KO's her exactly like this. Holm KOing Ronda that is

 

This is great stuff.
