Nunes vs Holmes KO GIF!

[KarateStylist]

It’s bad on so many levels. Soo so bad.

Both hands down, telegraphing the kick by staring at the target, being off balance, leaning back, slow AF.

She was scared.

Funny thing is, most all of MMA makes these mistakes. The hesitation was the major gaffe.

Being an oblique kick, must make some allowance for actual technical form... not that I'm up on that.

I'll post on the hands down. "cause so were Nunes.

 

[KarateStylist]

Actually I don't think she was KOed by the head kick she was just off balance, but for some reason she had both hands on the ground then ate a few clean shots

Right. It was a hard knockdown like Conor felt against Khabib. The effect is temporary stun and puts one in a tactical position of high vulnerability.

Holly might have scrambled outta that. The trade off for more head trauma makes for a dicey call.

Holly's career is done if shes gonna fight like that.

she was not light on her feet she was not hungry. beginning of the end.

 

[Chappi]

I don't like the fact that they seem to stop the female fights earlier then the mens fights and in many cases like this 1 too early if you ask me. The ref couldn't even see her eyes from where he was, he just stopped it on a gut feeling, not on facts.
Not that Holly would win, but this was at least 2-3 or 4 punches early.
And NO, I do not care about fighter safety if the fighter is not out cold yet.

oh for sure. Not saying it was a bad stoppage just it wasn't a clean headkick KO.

All muchly true. Except for the hands down, the view can be a little deceptive. I'll explain.

Sidenote. Notice a boxing site put up this vid. Interesting.

I bust on Jackson / Wink 'cause they had themselves dubbed "The Champion Factory." The obvious big stain on that which MMA media will never let us forget - is the Jon Jones PED infractions. Anyhow, Jackson / Wink is not some zero camp. So if one examines the picture as Holly throws out that low side kick to the knee area of Nunes, Holly's hands are basically up, with the critical rear hand up protecting the vicinity of her head. So +1 for JAckson / Wink.

Boxers are trained to have quick reactions which Holly does, and which Jackson / Wink had a hand in imparting same. Which is also what went wrong. When Holly realized that Nunes wasn't put off by her kick / motion and Amanda shot for the counter appropriately,,,, it's was hhoooollllllllyyyyy ssshheeeeettttt time, in boxing mindset.

Holly failed to adjust in any meaningful way from that point on (seconds, second, split second?) and BOOM.

I may link back the karate kumite solution to all this... it's among my library of (supposedly) intelligent fighting. Amanda was fighting intelligently. Holly was putting up a good scrap too, she always does.

Yep. Cyborg rematch, then Ladd. Holm will be brain dead after those two fights.

Holly ready for another title shot I think.[

 

[Groundhornet]

Disappointing stoppage. Holly didn't look out at any point, and she was moving to get up during the punches. The outcome would probably be the same if it had continued, but imagine if refs always stopped fights that quick when the fighter getting hit is still moving to get up.

Your kidding, right? Holm couldn't stand on her own when the ref and her coach lifted her off the mat.

Amanda might be part of the first intersex fight in UFC history.

Amanda vs. Cejudo, book it

Fallon Fox. She's just a guy with tits.

 

[Where you at Georges?]

Early stoppage.

REMATCH! Holly needs another title shot!

 

[rac2]

wtf is holmes?

 

[jsbx45]

Nunes def the top of the WMMA heap. All time. That follow up punch after the knockdown was laser.

 

[Shoot Boxe Hero]

WTF is with all the people saying early stoppage? Did yall not see Holly wobbling and stumbling on rubber legs when she tried getting up? And then when ref told her the fight was over you can clearly hear her go "I lost?!?", she was out of it.
