I know there are some Giants players at the game. Wondering if there are any Texans or Cowboys? Guessing no. Not to mention I don’t know if Cowboys players are allowed this deep into the playoffs? Heyoh!
Class from Holly, as always.
She did win.
She doesn’t have many of these left. She has every right to be livid. Those judges didn’t just rob her of a win they robbed her of making history.
@AlBernstein@GayleFalkenthal@NYFights@tblboxing I know she started and starred in boxing. But considering how the Rico scores and past experiences covering mixed events, boxing has odd tribalism with judges, promoters and some media.
@AlBernstein@GayleFalkenthal@NYFights@tblboxing I always think robbery is a very strong word. It was a poor decision, though. Holm very much won that fight, to the point that when the even card was read, I audibly reacted. As much as I love boxing, so many in that world have struggled to accept other combat sports.
@mehdirhasan It's not normal. He's been an absurd person for years and years. I think by now everyone knows this. How much attention should we pay his repeated social media derangements? He can fantasize about Rushmore all he wants. I think there are more important things to focus on.
I’ve got tears on this one. I look up to @HollyHolm so much. I deeply admire her. She’s the hardest working female athlete I’ve ever been around.
She’s humble, honest, happy. I feel like people don’t truly know all that she has accomplished in boxing and MMA because she doesn’t show it off, she has a more quiet straight forward disposition when it comes to showing up to fight, she lets the fights speak for themselves and then she’s fun and playful in her everyday life as she turns into the female version of Tim Allen from Home Improvement. ☺️
Holly doesn’t do drama and she tells it how it is. So to see her showing her heart here means a lot, she is being very vulnerable and beautifully honest on how she feels. A lot of people agree.
Last night was a hard fight to score. Two very different styles. I really like Stephanie Han as well, she’s smooth, slick and calm so congrats to her on a great fight as well.
We love you Holly, as a friend and fan. ♥️ It’s always an honor to watch you fight. You’re a legend.
