    Rousey Loses But...

    But how many would have bet Holly Holm straight up - pick'em without any + money whatsoever? If you would have done that then you sir - are a jackass and a liar. Okay so now that we've got that straightened out I want to congratulate anyone who had the cajones to bet Holm.

    I couldn't have been more wrong on this one. No I didn't bet the fight because I recall the Mike Tyson circa 1990 when he was -3300 to Buster Douglas. Upsets happen and I'm not ever laying north of -300 no matter if it's JJ GOld versus a Silverback gorilla.

    I truly believed the only way Holm could win is if Rousey decided to prove she could stand-and trade with a 19-time world boxing champ (which incidentally is the reason I no longer watch boxing because anytime there are enough alphabet soup organizations and so many divisions that you eat a ham sandwich and move up a weight class that you can win a championship belt 19 times means it's a complete mess), but even then if you look at Holm's boxing record she only had 9 KO's. She wasn't exactly a power puncher and what did anyone see in her previous UFC fights that would lead you to believe she could beat Rousey?

    Holm had a SPLIT decision over Raquel Pennington who had a 5-4 MMA record before she met Holm. Then she scored a unanimous decision over 38-year-old Marion Reneau. Seriously?

    Okay so tell me please why didn't Rousey take this to the mat at the very beginning? I didn't see the fight which is why I am asking if she ever attempted that at the beginning. I know she tried after she had been hammered by Holm and figured out she better stay away but by then it was too late, she seemed gassed in the clips I saw of her trying to attempt a takedown.

    Personally I am stunned she lost to a fighter with no mat game to speak of and couldn't adapt when she felt Holm's power. I could not have been more wrong about this one.

    JJ, there's no "e" at the end of Holm. It's Holm's got pounded down somewhere and what does that even mean?

    I believe he means the line was pounded down because someone or some people knew Holm would win.

    No bet for me either.
    Only saw the highlights .
    But, to me , Rousey showed tremendous arrogance and no game plan.

    She had to have a defensive strategy and had to get her on the mat.
    She could not stand and strike with this bitch.

    Anyone who took the +$, congrats.

    This is such great news. Now she'll stop running her mouth every time she sees herself cradled in the refs arms on Queer Street. Everyone should lose so they stay humble and hungry. I'm glad she got beat and beat up

    Your prodigious powers of prognostication never cease to awe and amaze me Biter. Now I'm going to cut my coupons for the early bird at the Howard Johnsons but not before I count my blood pressure pills that I put on the davenport with the phonograph on it. Well, that's it for me this morning. I'm going to grab my Hurry-Cane and get back to my chair to see those dames on Golden Girls you reminded me to watch. Next time I'm at the gin mill I'm gonna look you up fella.

    Being that Swinger sometimes does the bowel movement *on* the diary, your helpful suggestion here is really critical. (and more sanitary)
