Better than a punch in the gut.

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.
Not as much damage as the vastly outnumbered Legions inflicted on Boadicea.
I guess she’ll have a lot of free time to campaign for the Marxist now.

Thanks for the quote from wikipedia.
The Olympics are now completely politically correct.
That even includes gradually ostracizing Israel.
Recently the Olympic committee tried to eliminate wrestling, of all things. It is one the original Olympic sports going back to the Greeks, along with boxing and weightlifting.
The US TV stations show hours of tall, skinny girls playing volleyball and call it the Olympics.
In comparison, they show a few seconds at most of wrestling and weightlifting.
The only athletes who can get attention are those who have a heartrending family story, such as a wrestler whose sister has a hangnail.
They will spend 15 minutes interviewing the sister, and at most 3 seconds or less showing the wrestler wrestle.
Sports are now just another way to push the politically correct.
Basketball is now freaks tattooed from head to foot giving gang signs
Football now puts the defensive back in a straight jacket as far as what they are allowed to do in order to have the fans see more touchdowns.
ESPN gave its COURAGE award to Bruce Jenner for not knowing if he is a man or a woman.
Sports Illustrated ran an article excoriating a football quarterback for saying he liked Donald Trump.
Soros uses so called sports to promote the pc homosexuality, womens rights, belligerent blacks, hatred of whites, elimination of past history, drugs, drugs, drugs.
Soros has his hand puppet Obama watch ESPN more than he handles his job as Soros president.
Women brutalizing each other fits right in.
The feminazis are the big losers. America has managed to turn “wymyn” into MEN. We’re all MEN now!!!

In an ideal society, men protect and cherish women, not hoot and holler while they beat the stuffing out of each other.
Hell, they even let girls race in NASCAR now!
I never had much respect for Gen. MacArthur. Never will.
Post-modern culture has conflated "games" with "sports."
Remember Billie Jean King, Bobby Riggs, and the battle of the sexes?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Sexes_%28tennis%29
I notice that you seemed to have watched the whole thing.
That was later exposed as a fix.
Riggs needed money and was paid well for the fix.
Well said.
Also a Country that lets its women fight its battles while its men remain home will not last for long.
Vicarious Misogyny.
Where did you get those big words?
Funk & Wagnalls.
what country does that?
