A society that regards women fighting as "entertainment' is headed down the tubes.

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.

They work out great in fighting Radical Islamic men because they put fear into radicals that they will lose their souls and be dammed by dying at the game of a woman.

Works for me.

AFAIAC, boxing itself points to a degenerate society. Being entertained by women? I would rather look at a soft curvy gal for entertainment than a hairy ass guy but that’s just me.

I tend to agree with this, this isn’t women’s soccer.

Yeah.

You’ll get a lot of defensiveness in response.

Why does anyone, more so anyone conservative, watch this garbage?

Rousey looked flabby and out of shape. Her last three fights were over in less than a minute and she didn't look prepared for Holms. physical and technical mismatch.

Ronda is a judo and mixed martial arts specialist. She should never have entered the ring with an experience, champion boxer. You saw from the first second she was outmatched. It needed to happen, she needed to be brought down a peg. Last time she lost, she went away for two years. Let’s see if she’s as fragile this time.

So because Rousey faced a southpaw and lost, all women’s ring fighting must cease? OK.

True

However, I might make an exception for fisticuffs between Fauxcahontas & Hillary the Hun (Bill’s own pet name)

That reminds me of Bruce Lee incorporating western boxing and more emphasis on physical strength when he found his wing chun techniques lacking in street fights.

I've always thought so too.

Good news for us then since boxing is basically a dead sport in America.

Thanks for the recap.

This is all about making money and little else. I don’t have a problem with women being trained to defend themselves, however.

So masculine fighting arts are “degenerate” but objectifying women isn’t. Got it.

All over the country, millions are just now starting to watch men batter there brains into neurological defict for entertainment. I think the degradation of society thing is already covered.

OK, how about allowing 200 young 13/14 year old freshmen girls into an all boys (population of 5,000) technical high school where you have to take 2 years of shop (wood, electrical, welding, auto, foundry, print and/or mechanical) and two years of drafting?

“Masculine fighting art”
ROFL
And enjoying female entertainment
is objectifying? If you stretch
any further you’ll be Plastic Man.
