Why can't holly be more aggressive ?

[YellowBanenoo]

Isn't she supposed be a former boxing champ ? then Why is she so uncomfortable with mixing punches with her opponents and fighting in the pocket ?

 

[YellowBanenoo]

Not the mention that god damn Ish Ish

 

[Karelinator]

Hasn't she spend her boxing career fighting very similarly, only without kicks?

She has like 9 TKOs in 33 fights.

She needs to hang with Bones more and hit the slopes IMO

I just pointed this out in my thread. Shes a 33/2 pro boxing champ, kickboxer too! Clearly shes good at kickboxing as he headkicks have given her most damage in her recent fights, but her lack of aggression and nervousness is a huge flaw, just stays on the edge and USH USH USSSSH! THat exact same combo every time If i was fighting holm just wait for the USH USH USHHH and practice a counter for it with your coaches, ofcourse its not as easy as that, but they are pros and im not. All i know is, you cant throw the same combo every fight ever and only that and not expect someone good to come along and run you down

I think nunes would kill her if they fought, and i like Holly ;(

boxing isn't what you see in the movies. Defense is usually more important to a fighter than offense.

She has one of the highest knockout % in women's UFC next to cyborg. I prefer 2 rounds of sleeping and then great 1 hit KO than 5 round of boring wrestling.

She's afraid of getting countered and also being taking down. Two double whammies. On top of that, she was on a three losing streak and showed Betehe too much respect.

Funny that we have a whole sub-forum for Floyd Mayweather and Conor and some of you are completely perplexed by a boxer not being aggressive and risking getting hit by their opponent.

Wouldn't drop the Hundred in August if I were you.

She is fighting smart and lining up offense.

Learn to have some fucking patience.

Greg Jackson/Winklejon have ruined every exciting fighter that's gone there.

I don't watch boxing in movies, I watch them in HBO or Showtime. And you are a fool if anyone with such a high lever boxing skill shows lack of offense.

Being offensively sabby and unable to engage is two different things.

You guys remember Anderson Silva from way back?

Counter fighting is more rewarding in many ways

Blame it on Greg Jackson if she is playing it safe

Holly, Condit, Dodson, Overeem and Jones have been affected by varying degrees, but Cowboy is still Cowboy!

Just her style man

There were something like 4 strikes total in the first round.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Because she's a counter striker. Her whole boxing career was framed around "hit and don't be hit". She got another head kick KO, that's something other women aren't doing.

She's very similar to Machida fights. He either had a boring decision where nothing happened or, if he saw an opening, he had a beautiful KO.
