“She’s taken this sport to new levels”, Holm said.
Ronda Rousey’s undefeated run ended on Saturday night (Sunday morning in a few states) when Holly Holm claimed the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship with a second-round KO.
“I hope she’s doing well and if I know Ronda, she’s going to bounce back”.
Mayweather added, “Everything happens for a reason. This was already written”, said Mayweather, who said after his last fight that he has retired.
She said: “I wonder how Floyd feels being beat by a woman for once?” “I’ve been on the losing side of a fight and I wanted the rematch, I wanted to avenge my loss”. I’m not talking about boxing; I’m just talking about life.
“I think she can watch the tape and see what she needs to work on”, Ali told the photographer. Jay Kornegay, the sports book director at the Westgate in Las Vegas, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he took four large wagers on Rousey just before the fight began, which helped him to break even on the fight. It doesn’t matter if you’re born on a judo mat, if you only train boxing you’re going to box. “It’s all about timing and inches”. Her ground game is unbelievable. Was it a good look for Mayweather to take the high road and not join the Rousey haters in bashing her right after her defeat or do you think he’s saving his real thoughts for later?
Mayweather said he did not know who Rousey was back in 2014.
Holm, 34, shocked the sporting world by dominating the 28-year-old from Venice, subjecting Rousey to repeated punches in the first round before finishing her by knockout with a kick to the head that rendered Rousey briefly unconscious.
“Just to set the record straight”. Floyd Mayweather actually stood up for Rousey in an interview with Fight Hype, offering what appears to be a genuine, heartfelt, and backhanded perspective on the fallout. When you lose a loved one, that’s taking a loss.
