    The vast majority of the posters here repeatedly said that they don't watch MMA.

      but this was not boxing vs. mma

      holm did karate/kickboxing before boxing. she has 4-5 yrs of mma exp.

      ronda got her ass kicked.

      not boxing beat mma.
      Exactly. Plus she didn't just use boxing to beat her. Holm also scored a takedown and got the KO with a head kick. Hence the mixed part of mixed martial arts. LMAO at boxing fan haters thinking this somehow discredits the entire sport. What about all the other boxers that came along and didn't succeed. Art Jimmerson, James Warring, Melton Bowen, James Toney? How quickly we forget.

      Holm seems pretty cool from her interviews so now the UFC will be forced to market someone nice for once, not a big bragger.

      As for Rousey, damn. So much for retiring undefeated for her.

        Nowhere to be found. Kind of like you guys are doing now. Gloating over this win and then gone once Holm receives her first MMA loss. Just like boxing fans during just about any other MMA event.

          Rhonda Rousey = Gennady Golovkin

            Props to both though.
            I don't know **** about MMA, but I was impressed with Holm's ability to keep it a standup fight. She seemed to establish the distance with great footwork and good timing on those left hands and with her jab. Ronda couldn't get her game going.

            I have a rough idea where Holm perfected her footwork and timing.

                  lol I feel redeemed for all the disparaging comments I've made about Ronda all this time.
                  I've watched the fight on replay for about 30 minutes now.
                  This probably made my year.

                      If a boxer just has basic grappling knowledge, and is very strong, they can keep somebody off them like Holmes. Once someone can't submit you, the boxer will beat the piss out of the MMA fighter, as Holly just showed.

                      She really beat the crap out of Rousey as well. Looked way bigger, and obviously roided up. She kinda had the body of a powerful man, with kinda roided rippling muscles, at least for a woman. A rematch will be big, but I don't know if Rousey will want to go through that.
