Well that's quite the reality-check. Cyborg has good fight IQ too

She's not just all power.

She's picked Holm apart and hasn't fallen for any traps.

Pretty comfortable win really.
 
Holly never committed to attacking
 
Cyborg outstruck her clearly.
 
Cyborg standup technique has gotten alot better, disappointed she didn't work on wrestling for this match though considering she's a black belt bjj going against a white belt.
 
Holm fought to not get knocked out, rather than win. Sad!

ya that's always been her problem. even when she punches she seems more concerned with backing up immediately to protect herself. sometimes she punches and turns her head away without even looking. i've never seen her box but surely she can't be at that shit in the boxing ring?
 
Holly was too predictable that Cyborg's hook hits home everytime Holly moves forward with her 1-2 ishes.
 
In Cyborg's last fight she also held back and was technical rather than gorilla smashing iirc. Was still a horribly one sided fight like this tho.
It's a shame she isn't marketable / pretty, even though its petty, it's good to be honest about why she isn't ideal.
 
Holly didn't have the man strength to keep Cybro honest in the standup. Every time she touched Holly it hurt.

If it was two dudes fighting Cybro would have been hurting. Fortunately for her it was one dude and one lady lol.

It was damn near GDR all over again, just kept coming in and getting countered, she's to one dimensional with her approach, and it showed tonight, telegraph strikes, come in, get countered, and she was throwing High Kicks like Cyborg was stupid and hadn't watched her fights. Hell Cyborg even got Holly with some good high kicks of her own. I like Holly, but I think it's clear Holly don't got it like that, I don't think she's gonna see UFC Gold for a while, dare I say the rest of her run, let alone another title shot.

she didnt have the technical ability to keep up in the standup. Cyborg is clearly the better striker
 
Only better than Holy who is waay too straightforward and repetitive trying the same combo 20 times
 
Rousey could have maybe done this already but she has no chill. Cyborg made this look pretty easy imo. And I'd be mad at Holly's performance but those butt cheeks made me forgive her.

Unfortunately that's how she always looks. Non-committal, telegraphed strikes, with no setup. Just the same 1,2,1 barrage that basically hits air.

Holly has piss poor head movement and rips off the same combos without setting them up.

But it wouldn't have mattered anyway is the point. Cybro isn't fighting on a female level. She will always win trading shots.
 
It's easy to see a strike coming when you can hear it first. This isn't DBZ, no need to announce your attack.
