I really hope that Reebok does something to differentiate the fighter's shorts a bit. Some more colors and designs, or whatever. It's a 1-on-1 sport, there should be a bit more individuality. Everyone looked so generic these last two cards.

Thats what I dont get. This was supposed to be the big Reebok roll out and all they have are two versions of shirts and shorts. Where are the different colors? The different designs?

While Holly utilized her range with the kicks and it was a very successful strategy, my lord was it boring. I know this girl has fought in kickboxing but her strength was her boxing career so it seems weird she does not utilize it often. She is going the Money Mayweather route of winning by point fighting. I hope it changes, because I think she can be a exciting fighter.

If you watch all her fights, she hasn't shown that 1 punch power. She just doesn't have it. She is a point fighter who has been able to finish fighters because she has worn them out. She also is too careful. She doesn't want to get KO'd, so she stays on the outside. If she attacked, she finishes that fight easily, but she could also end up on the bottom. She could be like Joanna if she tried to attack.

She has a small chance against Ronda because she point fights. She is excellent at keeping range and backing up if you invade that range.

Kevin Lee is a force in that division. Ferguson is really fun to watch. His forward roll to escape strikes was fun to watch lol. He threw just about everything he could at Thompson and the guy just kept going, definitely can't fault him for not finishing.

Holly Holm isn't gaining any fans with her fights. She obviously has the striking advantage against just about everyone in her division. Instead of going the Joanna Jed. route of fighting she fights timid, always afraid of making a mistake.

Speaking of mistakes lol what was Duffee doing? I cheered for Mir, but in no way do I think he can hang with the Elite heavyweights in the division any longer.

Yeah, last night wasn't too great. Lee/Moontasri and Manny/Jorgenson were both decent fights. I actually FF'ed through Jouban/Dwyer because I was trying to get to the main event before falling asleep. Unfortunately, it didn't work because I caught up and ended up passing out just before the co-main event. I did get up early enough to catch the final two fights before work this morning.

I will say one thing though. Both Josh Thomson and Sarah Moras have my respect. Both of them took an absolute beatings and kept coming forward the entire fight. Tony Ferguson and Jessica Andrade also have my respect because either could have coasted in the last round, but they kept it balls to the wall. Those fights may have been boring from a competitive stand point, but I appreciated the effort.

Yea I agree completely! She is fighting her "fight" so to speak but like you said rushing, she could of put her away if she would get out of her own head. Fighting with that much caution is good for longevity at her age and how long she has been in the fight game BUT its not going to win her any fans or upper tier fights if she don't show something.

Re: Duffee v. Mir - 7/15 - San Diego

Ferguson coasted and was just playing with Thompson in the 3rd. I'm not sure if he had a type of finish in mind and just couldn't get it, but if he just struck with him or did some gnp it would have been over. It looked like he was trying for a highlight finish.
