A culture that regards women fighting as entertainment is headed down the last circle of the toilet.
..........................................................
As far as the fight went, Rousey looked like someone brought in straight off the the street who did not have a clue what to do.
Rouseys million dollar trainers, with their ridiculous punching mitts, are completely incompetent.
In boxing a fighter with a normal stance has the left leg and the left arm forward. The forward left arm is used to jab and sometimes to hook, a heavier punch. But the straight right hand is the basic heavier punch for a normal stance fighter.
Everything is reversed for a southpaw fighter who has the right foot and right hand in front and uses the right hand to jab and whose heaviest punch is a straight left hand.
The first rule for a normal stance fighter fighting a southpaw, who has right foot and hand in front, is never throw a right hand to the body from long range, because you would be leaving your head wide open to your southpaw opponents heaviest punch, his straight left hand, which he is poised and waiting to throw.
Rouseys so-called trainers did not even tell her she was fighting a southpaw.
They did not even tell her to watch her opponents left hand.
Clueless Rousey stepped directly into her southpaw opponents heaviest punch, her straight left hand. repeatedly.
It was not a jab, but the heaviest punch her opponent could throw. It landed repeatedly on Rouseys mouth and chin.
If this million dollar crap had been a gym workout, any experienced trainer would have stopped it after one or two such punches and explained to Rousey what is involved in fighting a southpaw. And that she had a lot of work to do before she would be ready to take on an experienced southpaw.
Of course they would not have put her in the ring with an experienced southpaw to start with until they educated her on what was involved.
Not one blowhard commentator mentioned the above, which would be obvious at a glance to anyone competent in the subject.
Rousey was badly winded before the first round was over. Yet she trains?
Rousey was knocked out by a kick to the neck, not the head.
Rousey had just slipped down with her back to her opponent after getting hit on the chin with yet another straight left hand.
Her opponent put her hand on Rouseys lower back and turned her around, helping as Rousey straightened up and turned to face her.
The opponent put her right arm on Rouseys shoulder to hold her in place as she (the opponent) lifted her left leg high with the knee bent so that the heel of her foot was touching her own bottom. Then from that position she snapped her leg open from the knee, landing with her shin on the side of Rouseys neck. Rousey was knocked out and fell hard, with the side of her head bouncing hard off the canvas.
Rousey looked very bad once she was up minutes later, with her head hanging forward, her eyes at the floor and all the muscles of her face collapsed, drooping downward.
Experienced boxing people, there are none left, would call this a mismatch that should never have taken place.
Once again, a society that regards the repulsive spectacle of women fighting as entertaining is headed down the tubes.

As for women boxing, blows to the breast cause breast cancer. SUBJECT CLOSED.
EXHIBIT A
My mother’s best friend was kicked in the breast and, yes, did develop cancer there.
Posts like yours are always a give away that the very emotional poster can’t handle facts.
Thats exactly what leftingers when their Soros talking points are shown to be ridiculous.
Oh, of course. Watching two women beat each other bloody is truly an elevating spectacle. It would only grace a culture on the ascendant.
I’m totally illiterate concerning sports. Never have had any interest in it.
Has saved a lot of potential conflicts in business transactions.
Very smart.
What about politics?
How do you handle that topic?
I could use some lessons.

No, not so fortunate with that one. Over the years though I have made a lot of business friends who share my contempt for the Left. I did business with independent businessmen for 30 years, hardly any lefties.
LOL. In psychology that is called projection. Your incoherent, disjointed, stream of consciousness comments are just the opinions of someone who lives in a fantasy world.
Oh dear, I think you are having a case of the vapors, IronJack. Man up and grow a pair.
Birds of a feather flock together.
You were baited. You took the bait.
Interesting.
i'd say the NFL, whose PAC gave 100% of its contributions to Democrats, is trying to ruin football, and succeeding. But I don't really care. Used to watch a lot of football and other sports. Seems pretty silly to me now. If you enjoy it, great.
Watching women fight, though, that's repellant.
EVOLVING
...........................................................
Thatâs a favorite Soros/Obama word.
Yes, men are evolving into women.
Women are evolving into men.
Womens rights have evolved into the killing and vivisection of little babies.
The US has evolved into a pigsty of homosexuality, illegal aliens, Kill the Police, spit at and destroy the US military, alienate longtime US allies, embrace rabid enemies of the US, destroy the US economy,
and Demonize anyone who doesnt like it.
LOL. You are some Badass. We are living in the 21st Century. Women are no longer kept pregnant and barefoot. They are combat pilots, Army rangers, etc.
That’s great. You obviously believe humanity is evolving for the better.
Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)
As for the rest of what you wrote, I have no idea what you're talking about, as I have said nothing in this thread about laws or rights.
Enjoy watching your sports.
