Your opinion of Tate vs Holm

Doing this for @Area809 http://forums.sherdog.com/members/area809.389823/

In another thread he brought up how he almost went to sleep during the Tate/Holm fight and wondered if others felt the same.
Since I can start a poll and he cannot .....

Nah Twas a good fight. Proper old school striker vs grappler sorta job.

 

[FrankieNYC]

I personally thought it was exciting and liked that Holly showed TDD and Tate showed she could survive standing with Holm.

 

[MadmanMMA]

Wasn't bad

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

It was a great fight. Very exciting

My thoughts as well.
It was not Lawler/Rory, but an exciting chess match type fight between two talented fighters.

Not a barn burner, but def not a sleeper, it was an average, entertaining fight..

 

[Kryptt]

Well I voted exciting tho it wasn't quite there but it certainly wasn't mediocre in my opinion either.

only last 2 mins were anything to jump around about

I'm picking Tate. Just like Holly fought the perfect fight against Rousey, Tate fought the perfect fight against Holly. If she can mix up her TD's, use feignts for both striking and TD's, selectively strike at range IMO I I think she has a good chance in beating Rousey. Rousey looks and sounds like a broken woman to me.

Boring around 76% of the fight, then we got 2nd round and the 5th round submission of excitment, still boring, still not care for a rematch, specially no rematch.

Now that I disagree with, but can see more than 'boring'.

Considering it is WMMA and how Sherdog thinks about WMMA, the fact that the fight was seen so positively says a lot IMO.

 

[Tony_Clifton]

Pretty evenly matched competitors with some exciting moments. Overall I thought it was good.

Where is the borderline between mediocre and exciting?

Not sure what you are replying to.
This is not a poll picking Tate over RR, but always good to see ya @Hardkore lol

Here's the thing. If there had been no takedowns it would have been a boring 50-45 decision in favor of Holly - maybe even less interesting than the Pennington fight.

Oh I picked exciting fight. Forgot to mention that earlier. Both women hate each other's guts, so you know it's going to make for must see drama and the subsequent fight. Plus of all the implications, whether Rousey still has it and does she just have Tate's number.

 

[Woliwo]

Both boring and exciting, so makes it mediocre I guess.
It was boring than Holly "dominated", but it was exciting when Meisha dominated.

 

[dc007]

The comeback 5th round made it a great fight.

 

[Buff]

Was ok, bit boring... Finish was pretty good though.
