But we're not talking about an elite male MMA grappler against an elite male MMA striker. We're talking about Ronda Rousey vs. Floyd Mayweather. She's going to be much slower, much weaker, and totally unprepared to defend herself from his level of elite striking while she magically reaches for this clinch you're claiming she'll find. One punch may not knock her out, but it certainly is going to send her reeling. You want to go on and on about how he's never had to defend a takedown, but want to totally dismiss the fact that the strikers she's faced likely have 5% (and that's likely being generous) of the technical ability and accuracy in striking that a world class boxer like Mayweather has. He's going to hit her on the way in, and she won't be prepared to handle it. |

For those saying he has no takedown defense, um .. footwork and striking is a very effective takedown defense. Get out of the way and counter while they are leading with their face. And he's pretty good at that shit.
And I don't even give her the benefit of the doubt even if she did manage to take him down. |

Impossible to clinch. His hands and footwork are just too good. Nevermind someone actually shooting low for a takedown.

And the fact that you believe Mayweather is the one that needs to train for this fight is laughable and shows your complete bias. He has to train for her takedowns, but her striking defense is going to be fine against the best boxer in the world? Come the **** on. |

Well no, he's screwed if he did go down.

I don't accept that its guaranteed. What do you think happens if they clinch and she isn't hurt?

Its not easier said than done, it would just be easy. Submissions are very easy against a completely untrained opponent who doesn't know what you are doing.

Why in the world does anyone here think Mayweather will GO for a clinch against Rousey the way he does in a boxing match? Do they think he's a complete moron? That he won't have any kind of strategy at all.

I'm saying she never reaches the clinch, though. It may happen 1 out of 20 times. Maybe. I guess that's gonna put you and I at a stalemate. We'll have to agree to disagree. |

Floyd would probably only get 3 or 4 punches unless he jabs and runs. It's over in under a minute, either way. Rousey gets knocked out or Floyd gets submitted.

The gap is whether the clinch happens at all, and whether or not Floyd is able to knock her out within the first few punches. It could happen, but I don't think the early KO is as clear and automatic as you do.

Especially seeing as how this could go back and forth forever with zero answer. The fight will just never happen. |

It's easier said than done in pretty much any other circumstance. I'm not saying she couldn't pull it off if she managed to get a take down. But a single clinch doesn't come close to guaranteeing a win against Mayweather. |

MMA reality unless it ends quickly, which is what everyone is saying will happen.
