I definitely think she should be with a more proven camp, but I don't buy too much into any of this crap. Her coach definitely knows better for her than her mom does, and her boxing game is by far where she needs the most work. I feel like she had a clinch in the first round and couldn't capitalize, and wasn't available to use her striking effectively enough to close the distance to get a takedown, which is an absolute requirement with someone whose striking is at the level Holm is at.
I think this is one of the first opponents Rousey has ever had that is actually a world class lifelong elite athlete, who has trained at the highest level. A lot of her opponents have been part timers, as the division is in a state of such relative infancy. As more funding is available for more and more athletes to train at the highest level, the quality of competition is going to totally outclass a relatively one-dimensional but absolutely world class judoka.
The guy has a terrible track record. Every fighter he has trained recently came off vicious losses. After the 1st round he told her she was doing well and to keep it up, despite the fact she was already rocked and totally gassed.
Boxers are notorious chumps at defending a single or double. Holm has no ground game at all. Ronda went in there and was coached to be aggressive and try to bring a stand up fight to a 16 time world boxing champion, from a coach who continually said she's an amazing boxer at a world class level. We all see how that went.
She should have went in there and shoved her up against the cage and bullied her. She should have went for the takedown. After the first round, the advice should have been to shoot for a leg immediately and get the fight down, because Ronda was getting her ass kicked.
And after the fight, did you see Edmund groping Ronda and her, even in a barely conscious state, prying his hands off her? The guy is a total and complete creep.
Mom's always know best. Don't act like Ronda's mom is some typical run of the mill soccer mom. She's an elite, world class martial artist. She's smart as a whip, and is the only reason Ronda Rousey became the athlete she is today. She got bad vibes from Edmund and publicly called him out, and implored her daughter to not go into fights looking to bang. Well, it looks like she was right across the board. Never underestimate a mother's instinct.
