Rousey rocked Holm in the first round

Am I the only one who have noticed, that Ronda rocked Holm with the right hand against the cage in the first round? Holm's legs gave out and she immediately clinched and survived like a champion she is.

No, I made a thread after the fights.

It was a left hook not a right hand.

Top class observations Sir! Phone Post 3.0

Yup she did. Left hook. Holly went instanly for the takedown. Took Ronda down and got back up. Phone Post 3.0

yep saw it as well

Yeah I saw it live, was suprised the commentators didn't mention it

She tagged her good 1 or 2 other times, too.

Ronda has heavy hands. It is the dogshit technique which is concerning.

She landed a couple of good ones.

They hit each other pretty hard when HH lost mouth guard.

I didn't see at first and actually thought it was RRs mouth piece that went flying from holly a punch but replay shows Ronda landing pretty hard at the same time she got smacked Phone Post 3.0

This. It's also worth noting that Holly has been brutally KO'd before too. I'd definitely favour Holly by a decent amount in a rematch but it's crazy how people completely write off Ronda all of a sudden. Phone Post 3.0

This. It seems like she has that girlish way of throwing punches (as does Miesha), while Holly or Joanna have that crisp technique.

Sure did. She stanky legged it for sure. Quick recovery. Phone Post 3.0

It's not that people didn't see it. Ronda got walloped the entire fight, and she only "tagged" Holly once or twice and Holly recovered quickly. It's like when a college football team wins 70-3. Nobody talks about the field goal the other team scored. Phone Post 3.0

This. Holly was rocked, but recovered with a bodylock. Very smart. Ronda does have heavy hands but no skill to maximize their potential. That sort of thing would take years.

Cool man.

Holly still won. Phone Post 3.0

I noticed, was surprised when Joe didn't mention it. Ronda caught her, her legs wobbled, then she fell forward right into position to take Ronda down. Phone Post 3.0

It's a fight. People get hit with all levels of strikes which have varying degrees of impact. "Rocked" is a subjective term. Did she hit her with a clean shot that probably hurt and shocked Holm? Yes. Did the punch disorient Holm to the point where she wasn't able to think clearly or control her voluntary movements? No. IMHO, it was a good hit, but I wouldn't consider that getting "rocked."

She definitely got tagged, rocked is reaching.

GOATherder - She definitely got tagged, rocked is reaching.

Her knees buckled. That's "rocked."

It hardly matters, because being rocked isn't enough - the chances of it happening again in the fight even if it went 5 rounds was unlikely.
