How many takedowns did you see Rhonda go for? How many clinches? How many judo trips? Rhonda was in over her head. Next time she'll fight without being so pig headed and underestimating her division. She will look back at the tapes and fix what needs to be fixed. Shes definitely a better boxer than Rhonda and that will not change anytime soon. Perhaps Rhonda needs to go back to the drawing board and be herself which is a mix of Judo and Jiu Jitsu.


How do u score takedowns/trips/throws when ur opponent has superior footwork that doesn't allow u to close the distance?


Technically she beat Rhonda at that game since she got the only takedown of the match. Rhonda barely got her in a clinch since she was so focused on trying to outbox her (which was stupid). Her own camp told her after round one that Holm was setting her up for left jabs. Rhonda was throwing haymakers and Holm was picking her apart. Very critical boxing much like Jon Jones whom I believe she trains sometimes with.

Jiu Jitsu fighters and wrestlers tend to do most of their punching and advancing on the ground. This should be everyones clue where Rhonda went wrong once she met a potent opponent.
