She isn't getting knocked out cold so if she started losing she would just throw her opponent
I was under the impression that proper punching came from technique, and utilized the hips and legs, not just the upper body.females have less upper body strength than males (they have about the same or slightly more lower body strength) so they raaarreely end a fight by punches.

Wait a minute, you had no issue believing Ronda was KOing male heavyweight champs but her not wearing headgear was too over the top to be believable?
better than i expected. one thing i noticed is she doesn't "load up" or pull back her fist to get more power. often times this lets your opponent see your punch coming a mile away.
she looks good in this video but anyone can look good in short hand picked clips. i really don't think she should ever get in a boxing match anyway. females have less upper body strength than males (they have about the same or slightly more lower body strength) so they raaarreely end a fight by punches. she has a proven method end fights quickly so why box?
Her striking is pretty mediocre. She looks great on the pads and all of that, but in a fight she looks no different than Ricardo Arona: stiff as can be, chin in the air, etc.
This post is just horrible and uninformed on so many levels.
1) KO power is not determined by upper body strength
2) Females do not have more lower body strength than males
3) Lower body strength has a lot more to do with KO power than upper body
If females had anywhere near the lower body strength of males then where are the women competing for world records in squat, vertical leap, or sprinting?
She is not even top 20. She runs forwards and immediately tries to take down just about every opponent. She does this for a reason.
Also, the reason why she hits her opponents is b/c they fear her takedown and armbar. Not b/c of her high level boxing skills.
