    Ronda should take up Floyd on that offer to come through his gym, but I think "Money" would be the wrong Mayweather to work with.

    When it comes to translate boxing technique to MMA hands striking, Jeff Mayweather has been the far most successful trainer in the camp at coaching things up.

    Whether it be King Mo, Roy Nelson, Joe Warren, etc, Jeff has shown the ability to take folks with **** hands and coach them up to the point where they are fundamentally sound and solid on their feet, giving said fighters the chance to transition into their more comfortable martial art without getting wrecked.

    King Mo has gone from being solely a wrestler to now being a guy who's got good enough hands to be a solid regional heavyweight boxer, while still being a dominant wrestler.

    why not Ronda?

      He's already tried to help Broner; Broner simply didn't seem to want the help.

      why keep bothering yourself with a guy who doesn't want help?

        She needs to steer clear from professional boxing though, keep this strictly only as part of her game for her MMA career.
        I'm with you on this^^^.

        Does anyone remember when GSP hooked up with Freddie Roach to work on his boxing?
        He looked much better the next fight with his stand-up.

          I think Mayweather is right about the rematch. I'd like to see Holm and Ronda fight a different opponent first, especially if Ronda can pick up a few things and learn to fight against a striker (And I like the idea of them both being on the same card). Obviously she's not going to go from her performance this weekend to being an elite caliber boxer, but she could at least fix some of the more glaring flaws she demonstrated with the right training.

          looool nah she just needs to keep her hands up, her chin tucked in, her head moving... basically she needs to not be so available to be hit. A little bit of training could go a long way for her.

                  She just needs to give up on boxing, stand-up is a losing proposition for her and it will never be a strength. She could eventually become alright from an MMA perspective I suppose but that will require a ton of work for something that will never win her a fight (it will just make it so she won't be lost standing up).

                  She needs to work on her wrestling game so she can actually shoot the leg and get someone into her strong area easier. A little muay-thai would be nice also since some legs kicks would slow down an opponent and make them easier to take down.
