Freddie Roach on Ronda Rousey KO: “It Was Embarrassing… Nobody Ever Taught Her Boxing.”

“I’m getting a lot of calls and stuff and they are saying ‘Are going to train her? Are you going to train her?’ I haven’t talked to anybody. Nobody has contacted me I promise,” Roach told BoxingScene.com.




I picked Ronda to win that fight because I thought it would go to the ground and be over quickly, like when James Toney [fought Randy Couture], because I wasn’t sure how good [Holm] was with the grappling. But she has 33 wins or 31 wins as a pro boxer and so forth, and she did very well.

She made her look like an amateur boxer because [Rousey] doesn’t have any boxing ability pretty much, but she does have a ground game. In MMA you have to have both. If you don’t have like three different sports, you can’t make it in MMA. She embarrassed [Rousey] a little bit I think.” – Freddie Roach, BoxingScene.com.
