霍利.霍尔姆是少数几个在拳击和UFC中都赢得过世界冠军头衔的人之一。
霍尔姆曾经被认为是世界上最好的女拳击手之一,几年前转到MMA,在UFC 193击倒了了不可一世的女王龙达.罗西,震惊了整个搏击界。可以想象,在上周六梅威瑟VS麦格雷戈的跨界大战中,她是一名非常感兴趣的观众。
在第十回合麦格雷戈体力耗尽后,被梅威瑟连续击打时,裁判伯德终止了比赛。但麦格雷戈赛后表示,裁判终止过早,至少他还没有被击倒或受伤,虽然他也承认自己已经很累很累了。
霍尔姆说;“裁判确实停止比赛过早,这并不像他刚站起来或者即将被击倒,或者类似的事情,这无疑是一场被过早终止的比赛”。
针对这场跨界大战外界的批评声,霍尔姆说;“我很高兴看到,因为我一直是这两个人的粉丝。不论是拳击进入UFC或反之,这都是他们所热爱的,你怎么能不尊重它呢?
对于麦格雷戈来说,击败一个从没有过败绩的拳击手是他的动力。对梅威瑟来说,有一拳被终结的风险,50-0或者输给一个从没有打过拳击的人,这些都很重要”。
Holm on Mayweather-McGregor: That Was an Early Stoppage
Holly Holm is one of the few fighters to win major world title in boxing and mixed martial arts.
After being regarded as one of the best female boxers in the world, Holm jumped over to MMA a few years ago and shocked the entire combat world when she knocked out Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 to capture he company's bantamweight title.
One can imagine that Holm was a very interested spectator in last Saturday's huge fight, when UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor crossed over to the sport of boxing and faced five division champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

McGregor was unable to keep up the pace he started in the early round, fading down the stretch and getting stopped in the tenth round.
In the opinion of Holm, referee Robert Byrd stopped the fight too quickly when Mayweather had pinned an exhausted McGregor against the ropes and was throwing punches to finish him off.
McGregor complained after the fight that Byrd should have allowed him to at least get knocked down before waving off the fight. McGregor claims he was never hurt in that round, but admits he was very, very tired.
“I thought though the ref jumped in a little early, yeah,” Holm told The MMA Hour. “It’s not like he was out on his feet or about to get knocked out, or something like that. He wasn’t going in there to counter or anything. It was definitely an early stoppage for sure.”
While there were some who were critical of the contest, Holm was happy that it took place.
“I’m kind of glad it came together like that because I’ve always been a fan of both, obviously,” Holm said. “It’s like, there’s that battle between boxing and MMA and I’m like, no, boxers are into boxing because that’s what they’re passionate about. And MMA fighters are into MMA because that’s what they’re passionate about. That’s the only thing. I don’t know why there’s always this kind of fight about it.”
“How can you not respect it?. They both put everything on the line. McGregor walked in and said ‘I believe I can do this going against a boxer, a fighter that’s never been beat.’ He’s got the record now. That’s a big thing to take on. ... For Mayweather, anything can happen in a fight, one punch can end it, he’s putting a lot on the line. 50-0 or to lose to an MMA fighter who never boxed before. That’s a lot to put on the line.” |
