Eewwll, those for Rousey made what seemed to be informed debate points.
I love boxing however I am not a boxer. Therefore, I always appreciate informed opinions.
Is hype really that strong of a drug?

It must be! The hype had people arguing that a woman who had been in 12 fights (mostly against women who don't even fight full time and several against the same fighter) who was also undersized was going to beat a larger man (who is always way faster, stronger, experienced, etc) that some argue is the greatest P2P boxer of all time.

I love mma and boxing but no way money loses to rousey in any fight

now if it the discussion is Rafael dos Anjos vs Money in a MMA fight.
Money would get choked out or arm dislocated.
 
I remember this thread.... :yes:. The people saying she would beat him could not understand firstly, how hard it would be for her to not get tagged at least once or twice before she could get in far enough to take him down, and secondly, they didn't want to acknowledge the strength differences between males and females. Little Floyd who is not known as a heavy hitter VS. MEN would hit her a lot harder than Holly did, and with quicker hands, while being even more elusive. ....and shit, I didn't even know just how bad Ronda's hand game was.
 
Even after her loss I stand by my prediction. Personally, I hate the comparison because its just a way to drop Mayweather down a notch.I'd rather they compare her to a white boxer. That said, in a Boxing match,Rousey wouldn't last 1 min.In a MMA match Rousey is a clear favorite.I totally understand why many of you would think different,but my years of experience in a really good MMA school in which Rousey has visited and trained in the past gives me much more insight. We've had professional boxer dabble in MMA and its a TOTALLY different sport.
 
I just don't see how she could avoid getting hit by the stronger/quicker Floyd, when she got tagged like a heavy bag by Holly, with legendary results. She admits that holly's punch completely took her out of the fight early on, and Holly got nothing on Floyd in terms of power/hands.

bruh, Holms turned that MMA fight into a str8 boxing match, until she kicked the living dog shit out of Rousey's jaw. she threw Rousey off of her or evaded every time she tried to grapple. why would it be any different if Mayweather was in there with her?

Re: Ronda Rousey Says She'd Beat Floyd Mayweather Jr In An MMA Fight Using 'Monkey' S

:lol: She ain't tapping Floyd on the ground. This would work easily for a male fighter of similar size, but Floyd is a world-class athlete with enough strength to overcome her technique.

Holm has had 10 MMA fights spanned over 6 years in one of the top MMA schools in the world.Her takedown defense was the key and it was highly technical.Mayweather is not going to get that takedown defense skill in months.Additionally, Mayweather is a boxer.He is dangerous in one range and that is the same range as the clinching range. Holm was dangerous with kicks and knees which adds a whole new dimension of attacks. I know you guys don't see what I see but understand that my opinion is not from the viewpoint of some fan.I actually compete in Grappling at one of the top MMA gyms in the US. I've seen professional boxers come and spar MMA. They get taken down by whitebelts. It takes alot of skill to avoid takedowns,avoid the clinch,and change your boxing stance to not get taken down.Ronda Rousey is not going to try and stand with that dude. She is going to take him down and armbar him very easily.
If interested, here is a really good video explaining how technical Holm's takedown defense was.It took 6 years of Holm training at a top MMA gym and having 9 fights to get this skill.Mayweather is just not going to get this skill in a few months just because he is a talented boxer.


 
I'm a big Floyd fan and I agree with her. Floyd would lose if he couldn't defend against the takedown.

Stop it. Please stop. Holly Holm showed exactly how a boxer would BEAT that ass. Also, Holly doesn't have the POWER of Floyd. So for all of you who think Floyd would just stand there and let her take him down, C'MON! Floyd would "pot-shot" the shit out of this bitch until she gave up. Floyd's foot work and hand speed would destroy and discourage this suicidal bitch.

Man this shit old as fuck. It was just hypotheticals talking shit. Rousey ain't even big enough to fight Floyd weight wise.
 
@ taken down and being put in the arm bar easily... One of the biggest components of putting someone in an arm bar is being stronger. Floyd is infinitely times stronger than that woman. Without gloves Floyd's punches would mean even more.

She can't get out of the way of a decent female boxer. How the hell is she going to get out the way of quite possibly the most accurate boxer of all time?
 
I know... I just checked the date LOL. But i would have said the same shit without the Holly reference.

I knew it was old cuz I seen that hood phone sig from when I had my 4s.

I'm saying her best chance at winning would be to go for a takedown if Floyd couldn't defend against it cuz that's the only way she could win is by a handicap. Trying to stand up with him no way. But it's not even Floyds hands that is the biggest problem it's his footwork that bitch couldn't catch him. :smh: Then like you was saying she'd get pot shotted all day.

I can't even believe we are discussing this. She crafty to even put herself in the conversation this way to get people talking.
 
You mentioned how her takedown defense was key... and I know you saw the fight, but remembering what you said, take a look at the actual fight here. The 3:54 mark is like 26 seconds into the first round. No takedowns occurred yet, no attempted takedowns even. At this point it was all movement, hands, and what looked like a couple low kicks. At 26 into the first round, Ronda got clocked with a left to the jaw. A left to the jaw from a 130lbs woman. So if she was fighting Floyd... a 150lbs MAN... a 150lbs man, who has much much more power than a 130lbs woman, and who is much much faster, and a better boxer by a lot... how do you think that would have gone for Ronda? Remember, this happened before any takedowns. By the 4:22 mark, she had been hit at least twice more in the face and you can see how her nose area is all red. She knew she was in trouble already... from getting punched by a woman! Still no takedowns.

If Ronda couldn't avoid Holly's hands, then how is she gonna avoid Floyd's hands while she tries to get in close enough for that easy arm bar? Would she be able to keep her head (assuming she could stay conscious) after the first headshot? Could she stand up after a punch to that gut? Is anybody thinking that Floyd would be so overwhelmed by her MMA skills that he wouldn't be able to land a few shots? What have we seen from Ronda to make anyone believe that she could take a punch from a male boxer?

I'm not putting down MMA... for me it's about male/female and the possibility of a female (who we now know doesn't have a great jaw, and no great footwork) staying up after inevitably taking a couple head or body shots from a male who outweighs her by 20 pounds, and is used to hitting other guys and getting hit by other guys.

You don't understand. I'm coming from the angle of a guy that has SEEN female MMA fighters spar with men. I'm not guessing here. Rousey has trained at our school.I wasnt there that week but heard she rolled with quite a few guys that are way bigger than lil ass mayweather. In this Holm fight,look at her stance.Compare it to the Boxing stance. Boxers have alot more weight on their front foot and they aren't facing their opponent like Holm is. Holms stance is much more open which gives her that lateral movement to avoid Rhonda's clinch. Its clear as day to someone who trains. Honestly this whole argument is comparable to a dude that played HS football and watches football every week and arguing with women who swear the Niners are the best team in Football because they like their uniforms. Holms presented a totally different challenge than Mayweather would.
 
Nah man, this is like people who know how it would go down arguing with people who want to think this chick is gonna beat a male pro fighter 20 pounds heavier than her. You said you heard that she fought some dudes bigger than her at your gym... Ok, but you didn't see it, so you can't say for sure if those guys were the caliber of fighter thatt Mayweather is. ...and trust, with her being who she is, and camera phones being everywhere, if she was beating the shit out of male professional boxers (actually fighting, like trying to beat each other... punches to the head), it would be on video, and Dana White would have had that shit blasted out everywhere. What better marketing would there be than that? Floyd beats Rousey...

You're aren't talking about some bum ass club boxers. We're talking about arguably the goat P2P who is both faster and strong than his less experienced female opponent. 1) Floyd is a world class boxer that could learn basic grappling skills 2) he wouldnt even likely need them as he would break Rousey's fucking head before that was even necessary. Floyd hits hard enough and accurately enough that Middleweight boxers, MEN that walk around at 180lbs before cutting down for the fight won't walk him down. He would absolutely break Rousey's face.
 
A left to the jaw from a 130lbs woman. So if she was fighting Floyd... a 150lbs MAN... a 150lbs man, who has much much more power than a 130lbs woman, and who is much much faster, and a better boxer by a lot... how do you think that would have gone for Ronda? Remember, this happened before any takedowns.

Floyd would kill her in the ring. She would never lay a hand on him. And not just floyd, any good welter and above would fuck her up permanently. But Floyd would ghost her.
 
I doubt a woman could beat any decent fighter, let alone a world champion. Just ask women, they admit one and all that men are bigger, faster, stronger. And they do not on any account want to get hit by one. Now, you may have folks talking some women have beaten men at the gym stuff and that may be so but we're not talking about some random gym shit, we're talking about a world champion boxer/athlete in an MMA match where speed and strength are the major components. RR or any other woman wouldn't stand a chance.
 
Crossovernegro deaded the thread!!! Great job!

But that's a good point regarding the boxing vs MMA stances, specifically that a boxers stance maximizes punching power with the legs and core while keeping the boxers body balanced to counter punches.

If a boxer has to account for kicks and sweeps then a traditional stance isn't necessarily the best option. So will a boxer maintain their punching power if their stance mechanics are slightly altered? Can a boxer still pop their punches if their stance is slightly wider to account for leg defense?

However all this is still moot because Floyd is far to quick and powerful and even if he's in a boxing stance at center ring he is fast enough to counter any of Rousey's kicks and all it would take is two clean straight rights to kill her.

Floyd would literally murder Rousey in one round.

Now Floyd vs a male MMA star is a tougher analysis.

But anyone thinking Rousey has a chance is delusional.
